CFS and Imagine Crafts Blog Hop - New Product!

Hi Folks! CASual Fridays Stamps is partnering up with Imagine Crafts for one heck of a blog hop today! If you are hopping along, you should have arrived here from Jennifer Vanderbeek. If you'd like to start from the beginning, please head to the Imagine Crafts blog.
  
 
The nice folks from Imagine Crafts allowed us to select some products from their store, and I was happy to try out the new-to-me Radiant Neon Amplify! liquid on this friendship card.


I stamped and embossed the Tin Roof border stamp twice to cover the card base.


Then gently squeezed some of the Amplify! liquid in the center of each flower.


Now here's the fun and surprising part! It will turn from these liquid drops ...


... to these puffy balls when the liquid drops are heated with an embossing gun. They start to GROW. Right before your eyes!

   
Here's a better view of of the puffy dots after they've been embossed. They feel like foam : )
   
If you purchase the white Amplify! you have a lot more options. Now you can either leave it white, or change the color with markers/ink once it's been heated. In this case, I colored the centers of the flowers yellow with a Copic marker.

 
The sentiment is from the Friend Fri-Die, adhered to a navy banner. I ended up adding washi tape and a ribbon to the left side. 


  
I had so much fun with this liquid Amplify that I made another project. Here's a layered tag from Tag Buddies Fri-Dies that features the flower from Friendly Flowers Fri-Die. I added a couple drops of Amplify! to the center of the flower and heat embossed them to get a nicely textured center. The "Love" is from the Love Ya Fri-Die.
 

 
Here's a closer view of the puffy Amplify! product. So neat! Under the smaller aqua tag, there's a second large tag cut from fabric with gold sparkly stars on it to give it a lot of shine. The third tag is cut from lined green paper.

 
 
Your next stop on the hop is Nadine Carlier 

Please continue on the hop, and comment along the way, as there are 2 wonderful prizes from each company up for grabs!

  15. I bought several bottles of the Amplify many months ago
    and haven't used them. In fact I'd forgotten how they
    worked. So happy to see your post. I'm going to get
    the bottles out and play with them.
    Love the card. It is wonderful.
    thanks for sharing.
