Falling Leaves:Acorn Trio 1

 

 Hello!

Welcome to my little crafting place! 

I was super lucky to have some things from the brand new new Spellbinders collections for September to play with.  These collections were released on Sept 10th and you can find them in the store now

 

I chose some wax seals from the Falling Leaves collection. the cute umbrella I shared earlier and this stunning Acorn Trio seal I've made a couple of cards with so far.

Here's the first of my cards

For this project I made a layered seal using different colours of wax but I forgot to take photos as I was making it so I'm sharing some of another seal made using the September Wax Seal club release 

I bought a second furnace so that I could heat two spoons at the same time to make this easier.

This stamp was great to use for this as the impression is lovely and deep! It's also quite easy to cut out - which is a fairly simple way to make layered seals. You make the simple impressions in the colours you want to use, cut out the parts you want (easy enough with small pointy scissors), warm your base wax, then warm the actual metal seal - not too much though - just enough to hold your wax cut-outs so they don't fall out when you turn the stamper face down - now pour your base wax and stamp into it.  

The photo on the left shows all the different coloured wax leaves after they've been cut out , and the econg shows how it looks afterwards.  In fact I wasn't keen on all the green, so I cut out the inner oval shape - just pop in back onto the stamper and trim around with a craft knife - then I melted some gold wax and put the seal into that

 For the Acorn Trio I mixed some different shades of brown wax for the acorns abd some gold for the leaves,  vut out and returned the shapes to the warmed stamp and pushed it into some deep red wax,  To finish I highlighted with gold and bronze pens
