Have you tried “heat embossing” on designer paper? That’s the technique I used for today’s card, featuring Cheerful Daisies. First, I cut a piece of Fresh As A Daisy Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Second, I chose a flower stamp from the Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set; the one with solid petals, along with the flower center, and the single leaf.
Heat Embossed Daisies
Next, I stamped the two flowers in VersaMark, sprinkled them with White Embossing Powder, and set them with the Heat Tool. It’s difficult to see the VersaMark on the designer paper, unless you angle it toward the light, so I was careful with my placement.
Once the flowers were set, I added the flower centers and leaves by stamping in VersaMark, and sprinkling with Gold Embossing Powder. For those who haven’t done this before, after you sprinkle, you tap the loose powder into a container to be gathered and used again.
The sentiment, “you made my day,” is from the Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set. I used the same, “heat embossing” technique on designer paper for stamping, and used a Sending Die for cutting. It was glued with several layers for dimension, without using Dimensionals.
Before gluing my art piece to a Garden Green card base (8 1/2″ X 51 /2″, folded at 4 1/4″), I pressed it under heavy books for a while. The Heat Tool tends to curl the paper.
This angle gives a better view of the little dots I added, with a stamp from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set. You can also see a close-up of one of the Brushed Brass Butterflies. This is a great embellishment, because it’s flat and easy to mail.
