I love the Sunflower Embossing Folder and the card I’m sharing today, it’s the focal point! I also used the Mixed Labels Bundle, Gold 1-1/2″ Open Weave Trim and Low Profile Dots. I also embossed the sentiment!
I started with a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed another piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock and before adhering it to the card base, I wrapped Gold 1-1/2″ Open Weave Trim around the embossed cardstock and tied a knot. Then, I adhered the piece to the card front.
I heat embossed the sentiment and then cut it out using Mixed Labels Dies (you can find complete directions for heat embossing right above the Supply List). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals at the top and bottom (I didn’t want it to sit wonky on the Gold Open Weave Trim).
To complete my card I added three Low Profile Dots to the front of the card 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!

by Tracy | Jan 8, 2025 | Birthday Card
Today I’m sharing a birthday card I made with the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle (sentiment & die), Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP), Party Dots and I did the sentiment in gold embossing powder.
I started with a piece of Night of Navy cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a piece of Wiildflower Birthday DSP to the front of the card.
I took one of the precut pieces in Wildflower Birthday DSP and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set. Then, I sprinkled gold embossing powder over the sentiment and then shook off the excess. I used my Heat Tool to melt the embossing powder. I cut the sentiment out using the Beautiful Butterflies Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added two Party Dots at each end of the sentiment and then added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
