TLC271 ~ Vellum Emboss ~ (05/03/10)
Hi Friends!
Someone snuck into my house and flipped the calendar to May without consulting me first! Can you believe we are in May already?! If the weather would catch up to the date on the calendar, I might not have such a tough time believing.
~ Vellum Emboss ~
Well, I went back through all the Technique challenges and I was really surprised that this one was never done. We’ve done embossing and debossing and all sorts of versions thereof, but never vellum embossing. I am leaving this open to either dry embossing or heat embossing…..whatever suits you!
~~ I am adding a BONUS (ah, you know, a pat on the back) if you make your card a Mother’s Day card!
Here is my sample:
~ Vellum Embossed Mother’s Day ~
Please remember when you upload to use the KEYWORD TLC271 (no spaces)
You can find the entire TLC271 gallery HERE.
As of the last time I checked, there was still a problem with uploads showing just the gray bar or a red X. Never fear, they are working on fixing the problem. Your uploads can still be seen if the gray bar is clicked. Please do not let it stop you from uploading!
Also, just a reminder that you need to name your picture a unique name ON YOUR COMPUTER, or it will be deleted when the system (SCS) cycles.
Ok, now go forth and create!

I never knew you could put vellum in embossing folders - I thought it would rip! THanks for the fun challenge Holly - nice to have something to look forward to later (and thanks for posting early!)

Embossed Vellum
I'm sure some of you know about Jeri and her unbelievable blog but just in case you don't here is a link to see her pergamano and just take some time and scroll thru her blog. It's just not fair that any one person is this talented. LOL

Oh your sample is BEAUTIFUL!! I love the layered frames and the way the vellum softens the design on the paper!
I had problems with my CB folders tearing some of my paper, so I went to the hardware store and bought a few extra plumbers gaskets. What I do is, instead of using both my B plates in my 'Bug, I use one B plate and two plumbers gaskets. That way there's not as much presure when it runs through my 'Bug and it's a softer emboss. Hope that helps!

I think I'll have to give it a try. Thanks Holly, for pushing my envelope, and helping me to learn new things. I'll be back later.

Great challenge, Holly! I forget about using vellum and it does give such a unique look. I chose to use dry embossing with one of my PTi embossing plates. They give a much subtler look than my CB ones.
LILY THANKS

Great challenge, I love the look of embossing on velum - so soft. I was just reading that we've been asked not to upload any more cards until the red x, or in my case blue ? is resolved. Oh well that gives me some time to play. I'm going to try again Holly to link my card to this thread, I think I have it figured out!

PLEASE READ
The SCS staff is asking us NOT TO UPLOAD any photos to the gallery while they are trying to get the issues with the gray bar/red X's fixed. You can read the notice on the homepage here:
Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I am really sorry girls. Hang tight while they get it fixed, then we'll resume our challenge.
Thanks to you all!!
Hugs,

Sorry, I didn't see your notice, Holly. I can't even load the home page. It is taking 3-5 minutes for a page to load. Don't know if it is just me.....or a site-wide problem. Maybe they should just close the site temporarily and put up an "Under construction" notice! : )
Since I had my vellum out, I did another card.

It's ok, girls. I think they should just disable the upload function for now, but I don't really know what that would entail. In the meantime, some of the cards are showing up in the gallery, while others are not.
Be patient. I am pretty sure the site wonkiness is due to them trying to fix the gallery issues.
It'll be great when they get this site back to working properly, won't it?

Holly, I finished my card early this morning...It has taken all day, almost 11 hours, to get it to upload without a red x...
Here's today's submission
Well, it's not in the gallery...I give up.

Hang in there girl. They're still working on the gallery. It will show up eventually. I think we are all anxious for them to get it working!!

I hope I wasn't cheating -- my vellum was already embossed!
Mother's Day Carnation
I'm not sure how this card wound up in the gallery entitled Minis and Previews though. I can't seem to find the gallery called "My Gallery" in the upload process. Any ideas? I'll keep looking.
* * * *
Oops! Now I saw the request not to upload anything while they try to straighten out the gallery problem. Sorry about that!

yeah.... well I *heard* that the gallery was fixed, but if you upload, you may not be able to find the "my gallery" option. I can't.
I'm trying to get clarification now.
Everyone has done an awesome job on this challenge!!

Great challenge!
Oh, this has to be one of my favorite challenges. I hope I find time to make a card this week to join in the fun. If not, I'll get around to it sooner or later. I really, really enjoyed looking at all the cards you all have been making. They are soooo beautiful and are giving me so much inspiration and so many great ideas. I have made a note to consider the whole embossed vellum gallery a "favorite!"
