Today I’m sharing a card I made using A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper, Greetings of the Season stamp set, the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, Unbounded Love Dies and some gold embossing.
I started with a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card.
I used one of the cut outs (poinsettias) in A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper an adhered it down to the embossed cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Greetings of the Season. Then, I sprinkled gold embossing powder over the sentiment, shook the excess embossing powder off and heated it up with my heat tool (if you’ve never embossed before I will have directions at the end of the post). I cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
To complete my card, I 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!
