Special Crafting Skills: Heat Embossing

Hi! It's me, Sandra, and I'm sharing some fun heat-embossed cards with you today. Grab your favorite acrylic stamps from Crate Paper, an embossing ink pad, embossing powders in different colors, a heat-gun, some white cardstock, and patterned papers from the Willow Lane Collection. And you're ready to start. Let's have some fun with the heat-embossing technique today.

How To:

 

• Cut white cardstock into fun shapes. I used a premade flip-flop cutfile and my cutting machine to cut four pairs of flip-flops.
• Attach your acrylic stamps onto an acrylic block and apply embossing ink onto the stamps.

• Pour the embossing powder over the stamped (still invisible) image.

• Now use a heat-gun to heat the powder. WOW, it's magic, the image becomes visible.

• Next, cut the card base. And then glue the fun heat-embossed shapes onto the card base. I used double-sided tape to attach the flip-flops onto the cards.
• TIP: The acrylic stamps from Willow Lane match perfectly with some of the patterned papers. It's fun to find the matching pairs :).

And here are some more close-ups of the cards.

I hope you like my card inspiration. Have fun using the embossing technique on your next papercrafting projects. Yours, Sandra
