Hi there,
Are you enjoying summer yet? As a cold weather lover, I'm staying indoors as much as possible, and while enjoying the AC, I'm creating Christmas cards. For this one I used Nuvo Expanding Mousse. I love that mousse because, when I use heat, it expands and changes to a different, puffed up, texture.
Here are the supplies I used for this card:
1. Green, black, white and natural Cardstock
2. Ribbon/twine
3. A stencil (I used Tim Holtz Christmas Festive)
4. A Palette Knife
5. The Nuvo Expanding Mousse in the color of your preference
6. Heat tool
7. Christmas sentiment stamp
8. Avery Elle tag die from the set Elle-ments Die - Gift Tags
Using a gentle tape (Washi tape, painters tape, etc), secure white cardstock to your work surface. Place stencil on it (I like to secure my stencil in place with tape too).
Using the palette knife, spread expanding mousse on the stencil making sure it covers all the openings well. Clean the excess with the palette knife and put it back in the container.
Very gently remove the stencil from the paper.
Heat mousse with heat tool (like you would on embossing powder) and watch it puff up and get a more natural look and change texture.
Now you have a great card front to embellish your card.
I hope this tutorial will help you to create something amazing today.
