Today I bring you two cards for the Gina K Design Team Blog Hop!  Our challenge this month was to use one of the techniques featured in a StampTV video!  I knew right away which I was going to use, because I’ve been wanting to do it ever since she said she was making a video about it!  I had purchased an Impressibilities  die several months ago and could never really get an impression from it so I set it aside.  Well - now I used it two different ways and got great results!

First I tried it just using the regular emboss/deboss technique.  I think it is all about the sandwich you use here.  I have a Wizard from Spellbinders, but for this I drug out my Cuttlebug.  And it worked like a charm!  You can find the video here:  Impressiblities Using Your Cuttlebug.

Next I decided to try another of her videos using the die - because why not!   This time I went with the Letterpress technique and it turned out great too!  I used Versamark ink instead of a colored ink because I wanted a more subtle color, but I think it looks great either way!  Here is the video:  Letterpress with Impressibilities.
