Hi Crafty Friends! Its been a while, but I am going to try and be better about blog posts in 2023 and I am going to get started a little early and see how it goes.
I recently discovered how much fun it its to use embossing folders, Yupo paper and gloss sprays! It creates the most unique effect, similar to ceramic glaze and I AM IN LOVE.

I started this card by cutting down the Yupo paper to an A2 size (4.25 in x 5.5 in). I then ran it through the Magnetic embossing folder using my Gemini machine. When I was done, I grabbed my trusty spray/splat box (which is an only card kit box with some paper towels in it) and went to town using the gloss sprays. I sprayed them in a diaginal order, starting with Night, then Turquoise and finished it with Lime.
Right away, I grabbed my heat gun and began drying the panel. I do this to stop the colors from over mixing. I got it to a state that I liked and dried it almost completely. Mostly until it was no longer going to mix. I set it aside and grabbed my Silver Glitter card stock and some Black.
Once the panel was all dry I began assembling it by cutting the background panel in a diagonal and adding Foam Tape to it. When I do these diagonal cards, I don’t trim them until I have them adhered (for fear of messing up!). I added the top part where I wanted it and then grabbed my sentiment. I then stamped the sentiment before putting the bottom piece on. Once I had the sentiment stamped, I added the bottom panel in order to frame it.
Once I was complete with that, I added the black strips onto the background and finished with the silver and a old heart sticker.
I hope you enjoyed this card and I look forward to connecting with you more in the future! I also have two other options on my Instagram of this technique so be sure to check them out!
Such a beautiful look and gorgeous card, I love it!!
Thank you!!
