It seems like every January I say I want to blog more often - and so here I go again! We are up to 5 missed days of school due to our recent snow storm - so I've had time to go back and post some past projects from my stamp club classes. These cards were made back in March 2017. They are all made using different heat embossing techniques.
This card uses what I consider "regular" heat embossing. I stamped the floral image and the words (from Flourishing Phrases stamp set) on white card stock using Versamark ink. Then I sprinkled gold embossing powder over the ink, shook off the extra, and then heat set it using Stampin' Up!'s heat tool. If you look closely you can also see where I stamped the floral image on the purple card stock using Versamark - to give it a watermark look, which adds an extra detail and interest to the card.
The cards above and below were both made using the Embossed Resist technique. First I stamped the floral and leaf images on a piece of glossy white card stock. I used Versamark ink and white embossing powder. After I heat embossed and the card stock was cool, I used sponges to add color to the card stock. The ink will not stick on the embossed images. I did take a tissue and rubbed across the embossed areas - just to make sure any specks of ink were removed. I added a mat of gold foil card stock and heat embossed the greeting on Vellum. The cards below have a Melon Mambo card stock mat and the words are stamped and embossed on Melon Mambo.
The final card was made to show that you can heat emboss in any of the Stampin' Up! colors. You just have to be quick: stamp the image using our new firm foam ink pads and emboss immediately using clear embossing powder.
