Today I’m sharing a card I made using Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper, Greetings of the Season stamp set, Stylish Shapes Dies, Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (currently on the Low Inventory List). I also added some silver embossing powder to my sentiment to make it sparkle!
I started with a piece of Shaded Spruce for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I cut a piece of Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper (I like to cut this paper longer than I actually need and then trim it off; I will add the exact dimensions of the finished piece below the Supply List). I then adhered it to the embossed Basic White cardstock and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using a Versamark ink pad, sprinkled my silver embossing powder over it and then heated it with my heat tool. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut it out, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (I like to use a lot of Dimensionals) and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems in silver, to the front and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder. Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it. Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so your paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image becomes shiny and beautiful!
