Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator
Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate it. Today I am hopping with the Technique Tuesday blog hop and our technique this month is heat embossing. I have created a Christmas card using the lovely Poinsettia Petals stamp set and dies. I am demonstrating heat embossing on vellum which I think is just stunning, heat embossing any colour ink and also some background heat embossing.
Measurements and Materials
- Card base in Evening Evergreen
- Half a sheet of card stock scored in half
- Instead of adding a layer of silver foil card stock to this card to mat it instead stamped with the splatter of dots from Quiet Meadow stamp set and heat embossed that. I think it makes a lovely layer behind the Basic White mat
- Basic white mat 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"
- Strip of Evening Evergreen DSP (Designer Series Paper) 2" x 5 3/8"
- I stamped versa mark on the Evening Evergreen Shimmer Velum and heat embossed with silver embossing powder to create these holly leaves
- I was able to die cut the leaves using the matching dies
- I added some silver die cut foliage as well
- The sentiment was stamped in Evening Evergreen using the stamparatus so I could stamp exactly over the top in versa mark and heat emboss in clear embossing powder
- That is how you can heat emboss any colour ink - clever isn't it?!
- I fussy cut the sentiment out, I really love how this looks and do it often
- The final touch was more heat embossing with those spatters in the background
- Then I splattered some Wink of Stella just because I could! lol
