I’ve used this set previously to make a few cards. I decided to step it up with this card and use heat embossing alongside the ink blending. All the stamping is heat embossed with silver embossing powder. It will resist the ink blending, leaving the silver metallic lines.

I’ve coloured this card using the matching stencils. This gives these florals this lovely shading.

How to Use Stampin’ Up! Ink Pads for Heat Embossing – Phrases for All – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo

Quite often, I find people forget that they can use the Stampin’ Up! ink pads for heat embossing. The pads are juicy and therefore, stay wet long enough for embossing. You do have to work quickly but it is easy to do. The colour I’ve used here is Pretty Peacock with the Phrases for All stamp set. You can’t see the embossing in the photo above but it is clear in the video below.

I love the Meandering Meadow designer series paper (DSP). The artwork is gorgeous. I’ve layered this beautiful print on top of two other designs that are less busy. As all the papers are from the same collection the colours match. I’ve added some foliage using the Bough punch for added interest. I used white cardstock as I didn’t want to introduce another colour.

The Meandering Meadow designer series paper (DSP) has a strong impressionistic vibe. The paper is full of bright colours, brushstrokes and lovely floral scenes. If you love impressionism then this is the paper for you.

This paper doesn’t need much doing to it. The paper is gorgeous. I used the Deckled Rectangle dies to cut a perfect “photo”. I added a white heat embossed sentiment and the card is completed. You could make a set of these as a gift.

How to Use Heat Embossing to Help You Watercolour

The Berry Harvest stamp is a large background stamp. When I saw this one I knew I wanted to watercolour the image. I’ve heat-embossed the image with gold embossing powder. Heating embossing the image makes water colouring easy as the embossing helps you stay in the lines.

For my watercolouring, I used a water painter and my ink pads. Quick, easy and lots of fun. I do painting and colouring, do you?

How to Make this Christmas Tree Heat Embossed Card – Merriest Trees – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I do love the Merriest Tree Stamp and Die Bundle. It has so many possibilities. There are a few sizes of Christmas Trees and here I’ve used the largest one. The sentiment is made to fit in the tree die cut. Isn’t that clever? I’ve white heat embossed to make it really pop against the green.

Heat embossing has always seemed like magic to me. This card is full of it. I’ve heat-embossed the background, sentiments and even the little tree decorations. Yes, I had a heat embossing feast.

I love heat embossing. It never loses its magic. White heat embossing on coloured cardstock is so effective. It makes the white text really pop from the background.

The stamp set is More Wishes and matches the font of the Biggest Wish stamp set in the annual catalogue. I love its big bold sentiments so this works for me.

Do you like heat embossing? I have quite a collection of different embossing powders. A goal is to use them more and explore all the various techniques for heat embossing.

I do love stencils. They are amazing. There is so much you can do with them. I get every stencil Stampin’ Up! release. They are perfect for easy backgrounds and focal images alike.

The stencil I’ve used today is part of the Abundant Beauty pack. It creates a simple autumnal background. You can use just one ink colour or multiple colours as I’ve done today. I took my blending brushes and ink pads and had lots of fun.

I have this great-sized gift box to share with you today. This box will hold a set of A6 cards and envelopes. What a great Christmas gift.

This is a simple box to make. It measures 6 3/4″ X 5″ and is 2″ deep. I’ve made the box into different colour combinations. Which one do you like best? Let me know in the comments below.

The sentiment for here is stamped in Real Red / Blueberry Bushel Ink. This is dried and the sentiment is restamped using Versamark ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. This is a great trick if you don’t have a ton of different coloured embossing powders.

Most of the time we heat emboss on plain cardstock and more often than not on white cardstock. Here I’ve heat embossed on designer series paper (DSP). It really works well. The one thing to remember is to choose a colour of embossing powder that will really pop against your background. Here the white really pops against the dark background.

I’ve added mini embellishments here, letting the heat-embossed sentiment be the star of the show. The stamp set is More Wishes and is a Christmas version of Biggest Wish from the main catalogue. These sets are firm favourites of mine. I adore the big, bold font.
