Wendy Vecchi Embossing Powders

April 8, 2018 1 Comment

Hey crafty peeps… Nicole Wright here and I get to share this fun tutorial on Creative Scrapbooker Magazine. I am thrilled to be a Guest Designer for Ranger with these delicious embossing powders from Wendy Vecchi. I have to be honest, keeping the background stark white was really hard. Especially when there are so many yummy Ranger products to create with. However, I wanted to make these embossing powders POP with color. This is the perfect project to use up your scraps. This scrap of Super Stock Cardstock is thick enough for the Emboss it Dabber and Potting Soil embossing powder. I die cut the Handwritten Journey “moments” embossed with the Potting Soil embossing powder. Using the Magentic Platform helps this thinlit die from shifting.Apply Emboss it Dabber to the chipboard cut and apply each color of embossing powder. Before you heat the embossing powder run your finger along the…

December 5, 2017 No Comments

Hello everyone! Nicole Wright here today on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine creating a fun Christmas tag. Holiday crafting is in full swing and you may have a Christmas tag or two left to create. Today I am sharing this easy resist background for your next Christmas tag or any paper crafting project. Plaid is one of my favourite patterns and it’s even more fun to make your own background.

Putting Creative Scrapbooker Super Stock card stock through it’s paces with stenciling, embossing, spraying and inking for this tag. Start with the clear embossing powder and stencil to create the resist. Heat dry the spray stain and wipe the extra stain off the embossed pattern.

Art Journaling with Stabilo and Nicole Wright

May 30, 2017 1 Comment

Hello, Nicole here and I am so excited to share my new journal pages using Stabilo. I was sent a set of Woody 3 in 1 pencils to create with. These are new to me so I was very curious how they would handle my love of watercoloring. They far surpassed my expectations! They are smooth to put on these old pages, creamy enough to blend and don’t washout when watercoloring. Check out my quick and easy tutorial for stamping and watercoloring with Stabilo Woody 3 in 1 pencils.I prepared my old book pages with Ranger’s Clear Gesso. Once dry I stamped the Garden Flower stamps randomly then started adding colour with the Stabilo Woody pencils. You can easily move the colour around by smearing with your fingers.This is my first time so I wanted to try the pencils in different ways. I tried blending and they blend beautifully. Watercoloring…
