I will admit when I first bought the Countryside Corners set that I didn’t realise it was all one stamp. You can cut apart all the frames using the matching dies. If you are feeling brave you can cut apart the rubber stamp as well. Not sure if I’m that brave yet.

This set I thought was perfect for heat embossing. I’ve used one of the new in colours, Moody Mauve and white heat embossed the stamp set and sentiment. I really like how it came out. In the card below I used another in colour Boho Blue. Which do you prefer?

No Lines Watercolouring – Easy Trick

I do like the look of watercolouring with no harsh lines from stamping. It gives the whole image a softer appearance. There are a number of ways to achieve this look. Today I show you a simple trick using clear heat embossing.

I stamped the image using versamark ink and heat embossed using clear powder. Now when you watercolour you won’t see the lines and the watercolour will resist the heat embossing allowing you to colour with no lines. One final tip is to use Shimmery White or watercolour cardstock as it will stand up to the water much better than Basic White cardstock.

I love how bright and white the heat-embossed snowflake looks against the red of the designer series paper. It acts as a perfect background for this cute little penguin. Do you love penguins? I have a friend who is mad about them. I was thinking of her when I made this card.

The Penguin Place stamp set has a matching punch for the penguin. I fussy cut out his hat and scarf. It is very simple fussy cutting but still, I was impressed with the outcome. I used the gold glimmer paper to give somewhere for my penguin to stand so he was floating. It adds that essential Christmas sparkle to the card.

I love the die I’ve used to cut out the frame for this card. It would also make a perfect shaker pocket don’t you think? The snowman is sitting on a snowbank cut from Very Vanilla glimmer paper. The camera doesn’t pick up the lovely glittery effect at all, but trust me it is there.

The sentiment is heat embossed with white embossing powder to match the snowy vibe of the card.

The photo doesn’t do this card justice. It is difficult to photograph the variations and depth the ink blending gives this card.

In this Focus Friday project, I’m looking at using masking paper to create an image on the card. Here I’ve used it to make this perfect white circle surrounded by the inked background. I’ve used the layering circle dies to cut the circle out of masking paper. You can re-use this mask so keep the backing paper safe.

Such a simple but effective Christmas Card. During the month of October, we have been focusing on heat embossing. Today I showed how effective it is to white heat emboss on coloured cardstock. It is the best way to achieve this bright white effect. Even if you use a white pigment ink you won’t get this bright white effect.

I’ve just discovered this technique. Yes, I know I’m late to the party. Can’t wait to try it out more. Double or even triple heat embossing adds a lot of depth and dimension to your heat embossing.

A few tips for you. You the stamparatus to stamp with as it makes sure that your placement for repeat stamping is accurate. Also, make sure your image is totally cool between embossing cycles. Finally, use your embossing buddy to make sure the powder only sticks where you stamp.

How Do I Heat Emboss? Simple Tips Tutorial – Focus Friday – Biggest Wish – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

During the month of October Focus Friday is going to be looking at Heat Embossing. In this post, we are learning the basics of heat embossing. Heat embossing is a very easy technique that always gives a wow effect to your card. It really feels like magic watching the dull powder, turn glossy and shiny.

There are a number of tips I want to give you. Remember practice makes perfect. You will need to use a “sticky” ink like Versamark to heat emboss. You need very little powder to achieve a great effect. I always use an embossing buddy on my paper before I start to get rid of any static. This means the embossing powder will only stick where there is ink. Lastly, let your heat tool heat up for 30 seconds away from your card. This means it will be hot already and the powder will take less time to melt. This reduces the chance of any powder blowing away.
