Pretty Flowers Happy Birthday Card Using Pressure Embossing. Crafty Collaborations Technique Challenge Blog Hop. June 2021

 Good Afternoon Everyone,

Today I'm taking part in the Crafty Collaborations Technique Tuesday Blog Hop and this month we are all focusing on Pressure Embossing. I will have to admit it's something I tend to forget about doing, maybe because my machine is out of sight - I'm terrible at overlooking embossing folders.

So, today I have really really pushed myself and have used TWO embossing folders... Painted Textures for the background and the flower and leaves come from the Pretty Flowers embossing folder









Measurements

Soft Suede Card Stock

1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"

1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

Basic White Card Stock

1pc - 5 5/8~" x 3 7/8"

1pc - scrap

Fresh Freesia Card Stock

Pear Pizzazz Card Stock

Take the larger piece of Soft Suede and fold along the score line to create your card base. Add the basic white card stock to the inside.

Run the remaining piece of Soft Suede through the painted textures embossing folder in your Cut & Emboss machine. Take your white ink pad and gently and very lightly 'swipe' it over the card. This will get ink onto the raised areas and give that effect. you can make this as light of as heavy as you wish - just bear in mind that it doesn't dry as a solid bright white, especially against the darker card stock.

On a scrap piece of basic white, stamp the sentiment from Garden Birdhouses stamp set and then adhere diagonally across the top left hand side, trimmer off the overhanging edges so the the strip is flush with the card below.

Glue this panel down onto the card front.

Go back to your Cut & Emboss machine and this time, run a piece of Fresh Freesia card stock through the Pretty Flowers embossing folder, and do the same with a piece of pear pizzazz card stock.

Fussy cut some of the flowers from the Fresh Freesia and some leaves from the Pear Pizzazz, sponge these to pick out the detail and then arrange onto the card front using dimensionals and 

Finally stamp the sentiment onto a scrap of basic white and cut out using the double oval punch. lightly add some ink around the edges and dd to the card, tucking it under the flower.

  6. Wash your hair every day at least three to ten days in advance with the Aloe Toxin Rid, and use the Ultra Clean shampoo only on the day of your drug test since the effects last for 24 hours. You can also take multiple showers a day for better results. Remember to wash your hair thoroughly and lather it for at least 10 to 15 minutes. While showering specifically, focus on the scalp because the hair sample will be taken directly from there for the drug test. Are you curious why? This is because the scalp hoards all of the toxins and is full of oil layers. So, make sure you thoroughly rinse and wash your scalp. So, from now on, utilize your shower sessions to prepare yourself for your upcoming hair drug test with this hair follicle shampoo, which is one of the best THC detox methods. Remember to wash off any items you used before that came in contact with your hair, as they can reintroduce or increase toxins in your hair. So, avoid any kind of things like pillowcases, beanies, hats, headbands, and bandanas, etc. After each wash, condition your hair with olive, coconut, or avocado oil. Allow three to six minutes for the oils to absorb into your hair before rinsing. Protein therapies for hair repair should also be part of your aftercare routine. An at-home protein mask is a cost-effective and time-saving solution. Look for keratin-containing masks and use them on your hair every night for a week. The drug test has become one of the most commonly used for pre-employment, return-of-service, and yearly medical examinations. To avoid the test, some people recommend washing your hair and scalp with detox shampoo or products.
