Heat Embossed Cards
Wednesday, January 13, 2021Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!
I haven't done heat embossing for the longest time, so here are some cards using silver, gold and clear embossing powders...
How-to:
Card #1 Floral Get Well
Card #2 Dress
(I entered this card in CASology #381: Memories...memories of when I used to wear dresses...not recently for sure! lol!)
Card #3 Clean and Layered Drink Card
I stamped a second cup, cut the top to make a mask out of it, so I could stamp the marshmallows "inside" the cup.
For Card #2 and #3, I used some trimmed card panels from my Craft With Heart Cardmaking Kit Subscriptions...this way, I can make 2 cards out of 1 card base!
How-to:
1. Stamp the images with Versamark ink pad and sprinkle embossing powder of choice. Tap off the excess. If you have powder in places you don't want, use a fine paintbrush to brush it off.
2. Use the Heat Tool to melt the powder ( I blow it on the image to blow off some excess powder, then I heat from the back first)
3. You can use color pigment ink pads to stamp your image and sprinkle clear embossing powder for a glossy look (Card #3).
4. You can add different colors on one image (From the CTMH Blog: Embossing with 2 Powders)
I love watching the powder melt!

Nice collection of embossed cards - very nice job. Thanks for joining us over at The House that Stamps Built.
ReplyDeleteI love that image and the polka dot background, it's a great contrast. A little more empty space would keep it truely CAS for our clean and simple challenge, however, your card is terrific. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Less is More, Anita x
