Savvy Saturday: I’m Impressed…

OK, It’s my turn to share some fun projects with Impressabilitiesâ„¢, give you a few hints and show you a sweet spring layout…

First, I want to share some definitions a couple of terms that we are using with Impressabilitiesâ„¢. I know Beth showed you some amazing stuff but I think it bears repeating, I mean this is pretty fresh and hot.

1. Emboss: to raise or represent (surface designs) in relief. (dictionary.com)

2. Deboss: to indent (a figure or design) into a surface

3. Letterpress: the process of printing from letters or type in relief, rather than from intaglio plates or planographically.

4. Stencil: a device for applying a pattern, design, words, etc., to a surface

So, you can do all these things with Impressabilities, wanna see? Below you’ll see several images, all created with the Butterfly Impressabilitiesâ„¢ and Core’dinations Cardstock….

As a small note, the top two hearts are actually a darker blue that were run through with the Impressabilities template and sanded. The bottom two images are lighter cardstock with a dark ink.

Below is the layout that I created using sanded embossing, sanded debossing and letterpress…Thanks for letting me share. Order you Impressabilitiesâ„¢ today and start playing with them soon…

Here is a close up of the letters before and after:

Supplies: Wizardâ„¢ Embossing and Die Cutting System, Flowers Impressabilitiesâ„¢, Curved Rectangles die template, Kelly Font (Retired), Prism and Core’dinations Cardstocks, Glue Dots, etc.

So have fun with these very versatile templates!!! Eli

    Thanks for the definitions and samples.

    So, for “letterpress” you ink up the template, then press it against the paper? Sort of the same concept as a stamp, except the template itself is the “rubber”?

    Carol,
    What you are thinking is correct, except, when you put the the inked template through the Wizard with your paper, it not only prints like a stamp but it debosses the image “into” the paper…make sense?

    Let me know if you still want more info…Eli
