Bisque Pottery Technique

3-D Items· Tutorials/Tips

31 Oct

Remember I showed this card last month? I got this as a swap card from my friend Robin Merriman, and I barely changed it, I used Cherry Cobbler cardstock instead of ribbon. I can't remember if she did the technique on the top or not, but it is basically her card. Love it, and love her…thanks again Robin!

A bunch of you asked if I could show how to get that look with the embossing folder.  I figured out it kinda looks like Bisque Pottery, so that is what I called it.

I made up a quick video today to show you how.  What? Another video? Yep, three in one week! Holy Moly, check the closets for the pod that I crawled out of, where's the real Diana?

Anyway, enjoy it!

Added since original post:  A few questions…

How do you wash off the embossing folder?  Since it is just classic ink I run it under the faucet in the sink and it comes right off, then you can dry it with a towel or let it air dry.

Why do you stick the embossing folder in folded edge first?  Hmmm…that is what someone told me a long time ago, but then I looked at some of my older folders and the arrow shows the other end going in, but I worry about air getting trapped and no where to go if you have the folded edge last…so what I did was I sent an email to Sixxix they make the folders for SU!, and asked them, I will let you know what they say.  OK< so I heard back from Sixxix and they said it does not matter which way you run them through.

Here is a close up of what it looks like. Neat eh?

So wanna see the fancy schmancy way I take my videos? Don't laugh!

I put my camera on the tripod and make it go up so I can see through the camera, but not too far where you can't see what I am doing. Then I straddle the middle tri-pod leg, hoping I don't bang it as I tape. Since this is a family blog, I did not upload that picture. Ha!

IMG_0819 copy
This is what I see when I look through and then I also look around the camera too so I can see. So you think this is how Steven Spielberg got started? Lights! Camera! Action!

Oh and so there is no background noises, I turn off the ceiling fan and…

…take the phone off the hook. See how smart I am (after trial and error). I used to take it off the hook and I had to listen to the "screech!screech! if you would like to make a call" lady, so now I take it off the hook and unplug the headset, and I don't have to hear her anymore (if only it was that easy for all the danged political calls we have been getting!!)  I do, however, need to remember to hang it back up…oopsee, were you trying to call me? Cause I also put My Precious on silent…ha!

Added since post: 

Question: Where did you get the card display? Answer: I actually got it years ago on ebay, I don't remember from who or how much, but google card display and see what comes up. Ya gotta love that google.

So while I had my bad girl camera out today, I took a couple pictures of my Big Designer buttons, I got this beautiful greenish mason jar and put them inside, they look sooo cool!

I really need to take a photography class, cause I am still just using the camera on auto, and I know it can do much more. Eh Mel?

I did like this shot though.

    What a great job you are doing with the videos. SU should hire you to do presentations, oh wait you did that at convention (yes, I am awful). This is a great technique and I really need to get off my duff and go in the stamp treehouse to play and try it. Thanks for the fun and have a great Halloween. Today is my hubby's 60th BD and our 16th anniversary. I can't believe I have been married to this great guy for that long.

    I always wondered how these videos are made. I can just see you straddling the tri-pod. Have heard of others mounting camera on tripod on the desk and filming upside down! I recently got a webcam for video chats, but that is it for me.

    I swear I was going to email you today and ask you how you video taped your tutorials! I guess I need to buy a tripod. I would like to see the whole set up with you in the picture so I can get the real visual!!!! Or maybe not! ha! Bought my plane ticket for Leadership so can't wait to see you again and maybe spend a little more time getting to know you sista!

    You are doing great with your bad girl camera – although yes, there is much, much more you could do with it as well. Let's get some classes going! Love the pic of the buttons in the jar – very artsy!

    Love ya!

    Di,

    Thanks so much for the great video on the bisque technique! I will be giving that a try, albeit with a different stamp set – since I don't have the Eiffel Tower set. Happy Halloween!

    Thanks for the tutorial Diana. Quick question – what is the best way to clean the embossing folder once you are done?

    Thanks for sharing and providing me with inspiration each and everyday!

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
