Heat Embossed Cards

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

I haven't done heat embossing for the longest time, so here are some cards using silver, gold and clear embossing powders...

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!

Challenges:

Card #1

1. CAS(E) this Sketch #403 (Honorable Mention!)

2. The Flower Challenge #52: Embossing Heat or Dry

3. The House that Stamps Built J621: AGoes

4. Crafty Creations #417: AGoes

Card #2

1. Less is More #434: Theme - Fashion and/or Accessories

2. CASology #381: Memories

Card #3

1. The Card Concept #146 {Winter Warmth}

2. Inkspirational #230: Mask

3. CAS Colours & Sketches #402: Sketch

BirdCage Get Well Soon Card

I made this card for myself... =)

I've been sick since Friday...

It's like that song from Flyleaf: "I'm so sick...infected with..." probably a virus that my kids got from day care!

I heat embossed the birdcage in gold, added the other images and adhered the stamped panel on the card base. Stamps are from Inkadinkado, Stampabilities and Hampton Art. Cardstock is Colonial White (from CTMH).

And here's a pic using Instagram:
