[@suetownsend1932]

Love this technique and had to try it immediately. In fact, I'm still working on my first panel! What I discovered is that I can press the embossing powder into the tape using an overlay sheet of release paper and rubbing with a bone folder. It worked really well for me. Why I hesitated about using my finger is that it contains oils that might be harmful to the loose powder that is returned to the jar. Also, I live near a creek, so try to keep any humidity out of my embossing powders. Your cards are beautiful, as always!! Thank you for such a wonderful idea-starter!!

[@SashaReade]

ha ha i love it Sue!!! I love that you just cracked on and had a go straight away! and Gosh i forgot all about using some spare release paper! Great thinking! and i didnt even think about the oils in my fingers, yikes, im glad i have people like you pointing some oopsi's out. Im going to pin your comment to the top if that's ok as it's got some great tips?

[@tracytracy622]

I like the "diamond" birthday card just fine, it's really good 😊 The plaid is exciting!! You did some very creative and pretty work.

[@esthercampos4051]

Brilliant ideas. I loved the cards, simple, yet stunning! I must try this.

[@teresacross574]

I love this technique and all your cards. Not tried this before, but I will certainly try it now! Thank you for your tutorials, clear and easy to understand xx

[@RoxanneR8375]

All three backgrounds would make wonderful masculine cards.

[@SashaReade]

They do, nice clean and simple!

[@user-do3qo9ev9z]

I think all these cards are amazing, really lovely techniques so vibrant❤

[@gr8fng]

Personally I loved the one you didn't the most ... very art deco IMHO. Great idea & cards thxs Sasha ... & BTW, please don't be so hard on yourself 😊 ❤

[@SashaReade]

Awe thank you so much. you are so kind, thank you for the encouragement

[@gr8fng]

@@SashaReade 💝 💖

[@bonnieisabelle3641]

Love those cards. An easy technique with a big bang.as for the stripes being unevenly spaced on the third card, it is homemade/handmade and isn’t supposed to be perfect

[@SashaReade]

You are so kind, thank you for the loving words. I remind people of that all the time, but i forget to remind myself

[@Via_Von]

Good grief, Sasha - this is brilliant!! I absolutely love the effect and the first card is so striking! I love the gold addition to the second card too - it really set that diamond design off perfectly! Thank you for sharing! 🤗❤

[@andrealavigne7824]

I don't know if it would work with double-sided adhesive, but there is a way to stick down thin die cut shapes like the rings you had. The easiest way I can think of is to die cut the smaller inside shape - circle in your case - from something like lightweight cardstock. Copy paper might work as well, though I'm not sure if that would be thick enough not to get fiddly. Use temporary adhesive, either from a repositionable tape runner or make a loop of low-tack tape & stick the die cut onto your card front/panel where you want your ring/frame to go. I would recommend however you stick it down, make sure the edges at least are touching your card/panel. That gives you a guide to form the double-sided tape die cut around. I would recommend going SLOWLY as you lay it down, & guide it with both hands, so that you get it against the paper/cardstock die cut guide AND don't overlap the edges of that guide & adhere it to your card/panel. Now, I've never done this with double-sided tape like you used, only with paper frames that I was adhering. So I'm not sure if the tape would be still too floppy to work with. But I still think it would be worth a try. Of course, remove the guide piece before removing the adhesive liner paper & adding your embossing powder. Anyway, my two-cents worth. I love how your cards came out, Sasha! My favorite has to be the plaid one. This is such a brilliant idea. I've seen it done similarly with glitter, but I don't think ever seen anyone do it with embossing powder. Until now, of course! :) Thank you for sharing. Take care, & have an awesome day! :)

[@ginak921]

I loved the first one and the second one but i would have put a smaller wording on the front. Lovely embossing powder colours.

[@Franclin58]

Love all the cards. Such a good technique. Thanks so much. BTW anyone getting such a beautiful handmade card would be so wowed. Perfection is not required. I could barely see what you were worrying about. So happy to have found your channel.

[@SashaReade]

awe you are so kind with your words. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me a lovely comment

[@lyndasoar4345]

Love all 3 cards... I'd even go further with the 'imperfect'(-bumps n all) n try to make the embossing patchy/shabby ... Thanks for posting. :)

[@joeyhoney1]

I like all the cards! Very cool technique! Warm regards from 🇨🇦Calgary🇨🇦

[@SashaReade]

Thank you so much :)

[@gloriareynolds3292]

Just today while weeding through craft supplies, I thought of dumping some powders I never use. Your video has inspired me to take a second look. Thank you.

[@SashaReade]

Oh yay! Hope you do and give it a go

[@hilarygreek7830]

The first one is really cute and the plaid one looks amazing! The middle one maybe not so much but no one can always be brilliant with every card. ❤

[@paulawray6210]

Great technique! I just got several packs of tape! Looking forward to creating backgrounds! Thank you!

[@teresajarkowska5792]

Like them all but especially the second one you made.

[@SashaReade]

Really?!?! The one with the slightly rubbish stamped sentiment? I loved the outside, but wasnt sure how i felt about the middle

[@inlovewith_paperstampsanddies]

Adorable - need to keep the technique in mind 😍😍 Re, the circle frame (haven’t read the other comments so this might not be something new) - I immediately thought of adding double sided tape to a piece of cardstock on both sides so the frame gets stronger 😊 oh, I now definitely need to try this if that works 😅😂

[@teresagray7931]

I love them all but the first one is my favourite and you used my favourite colours.

[@SashaReade]

Yes i loved the first one as well, and im also a huge fan of blueish teals!

[@ingrid2543]

I’ve have not done too much embossing because I’m not good at it, but, this looks like fun

[@SashaReade]

It's hard to go wrong with this method :)

[@nancyw8450]

Well who knew ...... Thank you for the great tip !!!!!

[@SashaReade]

Ha ha it's super awesome isnt it!

[@wendywilson1736]

So neat! Wonder why I didn't think of this? Thanks for sharing this!

[@theeditor1149]

I remember jennifer maguire doing something like this a few years ago I think, and foiling with tape. I used to decorate gifts with double sided tape on the wrapping and then cover it in glitter and little bits of confetti, so many possibilities!

[@lindadunstall1790]

Hiya 😂 A great technique! TFS. 🦘🦘🇦🇺🌹

[@virginiachamberlain3073]

Honestly, the "bumpy", does not detract from your lovely cards. In fact until you mention it, I couldnt see anything wrong at all. Just a brilliant idea for creating unique cards.

[@SashaReade]

Awe thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement.

[@dizzinese]

I loved this video! I just embossed sentiments strips the other day. And even though WOW has an anti-static thing in there powders and jars, they do stick to paper. I dusted my cardstock so heavily with an antistatic powder tool and using WOW black detail powder embossed sentiments. And no matter what it always gets specks everywhere! That’s a much better idea to ink in black then use clear! Now that I bought all new embossing powders.

[@bobbimacpherson8212]

holy cow! how did i never know this! fantastic! thank you!

[@lorettafritz6992]

Adhesive tape works for foiling too! Great video..thanks! 😊

[@SashaReade]

yes and for glitter! it's fab for shinny techniques isnt it :) Thank you

[@mandyhall1674]

Sasha awesome ideas. I love that first one, the colours, the clean and simple look, just everything about it. Looking forward to what you come up with next. Thanks for a great video and have a beautiful week. x

[@SashaReade]

Thank you so much, i cant wait to get creative again, got a few more ideas of things to play with

[@cdnqgramma3373]

I think You have an over critical eye, of your own work, which I think we all do. I love all three cards, I think they look wonderful... an yes, balanced.. in proportion... Love the idea of the tape... I might try it... Except I am still fighting with my red line tape, to get the backing off... 🤣

[@SashaReade]

oh yes, redline tape can really drive me batty at times. I find if i stab it a bit with a pokey tool i can then pull it off and then stick it onto something that likes the static of the release plastic. Ha ha that static drives me mad

[@kathyreed6841]

All lovely cards. My favourite is the first one, not sure if it's the design or colours that make it for me.

[@carolsoutar4719]

Wow they came out really beautiful.Thanks Sasha.

[@SashaReade]

Thank you Carol

[@htmorrison9271]

What a great technique! You have a new subscriber!

[@anaraposo522]

What a cool technique, nice and easy but really pretty. Thanks Sasha for sharing. I love that big sentiment.

[@SashaReade]

Thank you so much Ana

[@melb.4609]

I really like the plaid. Thanks for the inspiration!.

[@SashaReade]

Thank you so much

[@melissazabower339]

For the circle outline that didn't lay flat -- maybe if you made a die cut of the same out of card stock. Use temporary tape to stick the INSIDE down, then lay the outline down with the sticky tape. Then remove the inner circle. That might help retain the shape. Maybe. 😁 I love the plaid!

[@SashaReade]

ha ha, i think that might be too much effort for my lazy crafty brain. Though i do feel determined to find an easy way to get that effect, not sure i'll manage it

[@zoefrance1064]

Ingenious ❤

[@SashaReade]

Awe thank you :)

[@elizabethtanti7884]

Beautiful cards a very creative idea love it!!

[@jenniferfriddle7155]

Sasha , Thank you for sharing your Beautiful cards with us today. You always show us the simplest and easiest techniques to use for card making.🙂

[@SashaReade]

awe thank you for your sweet words Jennifer. Made my night

[@virginiachamberlain3073]

Loved the cards and brilliant idea using tape and powders. Thank you.

[@SashaReade]

Thank you

[@ninascraftflorievega3592]

Sasha, the three cards are amazing, but the birthday one it's my favorite. TFS

[@roxanneklinger3828]

My opinion is that the outline of gold on the sentiment adds something to it. It is not just plain wording but did not take much to achieve it. Beautiful card. Love how you did it with the tape.

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Hi Sasha, these turned out great. I will definitely have a go. Thanks so much. 🇨🇦 😊 ❤

[@SashaReade]

Thank you so much

[@katieh200]

Hi Sasha,great technique I love the ideas you come up with ,I don’t have too many colours of embossing powder just the basic ones ,thanks for sharing hugs Katie 💜🩷💜

[@SashaReade]

IM pleased you enjoyed it Katie

[@Cathewiese]

Beautiful. Loved this and I'm definitely trying it!

[@dianalama1591]

Great technique, requires some time but great results!!!

[@sharmanmurphree-roberts4018]

Great ideas, and I love how excitedly you accept tips from other crafters!

[@craftymonkey9605]

Love it! I have so much embossing powder to use I need to try this!

[@purplemav]

I used to do the tape technique back in the early 2000’s for heat embossing….i haven’t done it in so long I completely forgot about it (ridiculous I know).I’m so happy you made this video, thank you!

[@maggieb4648]

Great cards, Sasha. Regarding the sentiment on the second card, I think it looks great. Everyone's tastes are different. Someone will love it. I think it would make a great masculine card because of the geometrics and the colours. :)

[@lauramiller5248]

Love them all. The happy birthday card could use a burgundy mat behind it. I think it would really make the top panel blend into the card. If that makes sense. But thanks for showing how to use tape with embossing powders.

[@ellen-marie6692]

Awesome! I’m a newbie to heat embossing & the tiny bit I’ve tried so far hasn’t been as nice as I hoped but also not terrible. I bought the same brand as you have in this video. Appreciate learning from you that Wow includes the anti static powder already. I’m going to try this double sided tape method - very cool! I’m in Canada 🇨🇦.

[@marywagner9927]

Leave it. It is fine! Love the plaid! You are so creative.

[@renatenash7575]

I love love this idea. I'm definitely going to try this one. All 3 of your cards looked beautiful. 😊

[@SashaReade]

Thank you so much, i really hope you do

[@dianeriegs7295]

Very nice, and a different way of card making.

[@SashaReade]

Thank you :)

[@brendadainton7497]

I love how all of these cards turned out. I really love the second one (the one you weren’t sure about). Amazing!

[@christinehampton7669]

Great way to do cards .

[@paularutter6654]

These are beautiful Sasha

[@CopperHueCollectionsChippewa]

All of them are nice, but my favorite is the first one.

[@juliewurf7506]

Stunning cards! Plus you have reminded me that I have a roll of the red tape. I have a copper embossing powder that refuses to melt. I might try your technique on black cardstock and set what happens

[@SashaReade]

i hope you do give it a go :) With regards to your powder that wont melt. I have heard that some embossing powders can go off, as in they expire and dont work any more. Have a go with this technique, but it might be that your powder has gone off and wont work no matter what :(

[@lindapawlowski7720]

Love your ideas. Nice talent!

[@acraftersstory]

I had idea that I could use tape. I'm excited to try it now. I have a bunch of embossing powders that I haven't tried. Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea.

[@cindyellis765]

Very interesting and pretty. Love this technique.

[@SashaReade]

Thank you

[@karenreeves3958]

These are awesome backgrounds. I love the colors that you used and the fact that you can use tape. Thanks for sharing Sasha

[@SashaReade]

Thank you so much, and yes, tape, such an easy way to get embossing powder to stick :)

[@noreenmulder5255]

Hi Sasha. An absolutely brilliant idea! Your cards are stunning. I love the happy birthday one and would keep it exactly as you made it. Keep well. God bless. ❤❤❤

[@sam08330]

Great idea….I’ve used the double-sided tape to adhere gold foil flakes to my cards….loved the cards…thx for sharing!

[@SashaReade]

yes that and glitter also work great with double sided tape! you can make such amazing projects with it

[@lindafrier1615]

These are beautiful! Such a great technique. I really like WOW powders, I have some other brands that don’t work as well. Thanks for sharing🤩💜 by the way Ithink the BIG BIRTHDAY is gorgeous!

[@SashaReade]

awe thank you so much, i really wasnt sure about that one. I thought maybe i over did it?

[@anniekempton9193]

I do this quite often but with foil or guilding flakes.... never thought of embossing powder! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

[@blessedhandsac5972]

Beautiful cards 😍🤗🤩

[@shirleydesrochers3319]

I really like the large happy birthday sentiment!

[@SashaReade]

[@SashaReade]

Ha ha, ok! Ive had a lot of people saying that :) Thank you

What a great technique - all three cards are fabulous, but I especially like the first one with that colour combo 🤗

[@SashaReade]

Thank you so much for your kind words

[@karynfolland4267]

Love all 3, thank you for sharing

[@SashaReade]

Awe thank you so much

[@heidi3855]

Great cards! 😍

[@cathylaycock5598]

Very creative! I wonder with the die cuts, if just 1 side of card stock had the tape on it. Use your liquid glue to stick onto panel, then release tape on top then heat emboss the shapes. Hope that made sense. As I can afford it, I’ll be buying embossing powders in so many colours. ❤️😊🇨🇦

[@sandrahuiskes]

This is lovely, will try it out a.s.a.p. 😃💖

[@annahart8344]

Very clever. Looking forward to trying this.

[@SashaReade]

Thank you so much

[@amandamarlowe3983]

Great cards Sasha, thanks.

[@SashaReade]

Thank you

[@mydirtylittlehands4389]

I did know! I tried it one day out of curiosity. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

[@bette-annflood835]

Very pretty

[@carriesmola6222]

Sasha, wow, embossing powder does put an anti-static ingredient in the cup of the embossing powder, but that is so the embossing powder does not stick to the cup. You still need to use an antistatic bag on the paper because it will stick to anywhere your finger has been or there’s grease or something there. I would recommend that you contact and get it in writing that you don’t need to use the embossing back because I’m not sure that’s correct.

[@SashaReade]

They did tell me directly(im working on their design team) that there is no need for the powder bag at all. I used it in one my first videos for them and they were quick to point out that they dont sell them because they arent needed. Ive not actually had a single issue with them either. The only time i use the anti static powder bag is when im working on a static y surface like acetate. Hope that helps :)

[@SylviaCalvillo-fv4be]
