This heat embossed birthday card uses the Magnolia Lane products from Stampin’ Up! This is a very simple card that has an extra wow added through the heat embossing.
The Magnolia Lane designer series paper (DSP) is so beautiful that I didn’t want to cover it up with stamping and embellishments. I therefore create this simple but elegant card.
As I have said previously I love magnolias as like the blossom they herald the start of spring for me. We have quite a few magnolia trees near us here in Lincoln and they are a joy to me each year. In fact, nature has such a calming influence over me when I am anxious, unwell or just plain down in the dumps. The magic of every new flower is breathtaking.
I love the heat embossing on this card. Sometimes I think we forget what a great technique heat embossing is. I certainly won’t forget the first time I heat embossed something and the magic at watching the dull powder turn bright and shining.
Measurements
- Mossy Meadow A6 card base
- Magnolia Lane DSP – 14.35cm x 10cm
- Vellum – 10cm x 4cm
This sentiment is heat embossed using white and therefore stand out nicely from the darker background. The heat to trick to heat embossing on vellum is get your heat tool good and hot before you bring into the vellum. This way it will melt the powder quickly with little warping to the paper. If there is any warping, just heat it from the bottom and it should even out.
Below is a video for this card with the supply list below.
Here are some links to some other projects made using this gorgeous DSP.
I, therefore, want to thank you for dropping by and until next time Enjoy Being Creative!!
