Technique Tuesday - Heat Embossing
I'm excited to be participating in the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. Today we're sharing cards featuring heat embossing techniques. Heat embossing was one of the very first techniques I learned - I used to use an electric frying pan to melt the embossing powder!
For my card today I used the Stampin' Up! Merriest Snowflakes Stamp Set. I stamped the snowflakes in Versamark and used White Embossing Powder. I used Night of Navy Ink with a Blending Brush to make the snowflakes "pop".
Instructions
- Cut Night of Navy card stock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4". Fold on score line to create card base.
- Cut Basic White card stock 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".
- Stamp snowflakes randomly on Basic White card stock using Versamark ink.
- Cover with White Embossing Powder and shake off excess.
- Heat using Heat Tool.
- Using Blending Brush and Night of Navy ink, cover the Basic White card stock with ink to "pop" the snowflakes.
- Cut the Basic White card stock to 4" x 5 1/4" using Trimmer
- Adhere to card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue
- Cut Basic White card stock 3/4" x 3 1/4"
- Stamp sentiment using Night of Navy ink.
- Cut Night of Navy card stock 1" x 3 1/2"
- Adhere sentiment piece to Night of Navy card stock using Dimensionals.
- Adhere to card base using Dimensionals.
- Add rhinestones to the centre of the snowflakes.
Now it's time to be inspired by all of the amazing projects in our blog hop. Please leave a comment on the blogs! we all love comments :)
