Today on Studio SN: Double Embossed Cardmaking Technique with WOW!
Yes—WOW! Wow because this is such a fun and easy heat embossing technique…and also because I’m using embossing powders from the lovely folks at WOW Embossing Powders.
This heat embossing technique is super easy and a great way to create a colorful textured background for your handmade cards. It’s perfect for combining different embossing powder colors, too.
Here’s what you’ll need:
– Metalline Red, Opaque Pastel Blue embossing powders (WOW Embossing Powders) UK peeps, you can visit the WOW UK home page for info; US and Canadians, try the US site.
– Embossing inkpad (Versamark or other)
– Glossy white cardstock, matte white cardstock, black cardstock
– Heat tool
– Express Yourself stamps (WOW Embossing Powders)
– Black inkpad, black pen
– Blue silk flowers, brad, foam tape
– Black pen, red colored pencil, mini price tag
Here’s how to do it:
1. Press the embossing inkpad onto a piece of glossy white cardstock, covering it completely. Sprinkle with Metalline Red embossing powder, tap off excess and heat-set.
2. When cool, brayer over it lightly with embossing ink, then apply Pastel Blue embossing powder. Tap off excess, then heat-set. Let cool.
3. Ink the edges with black. Mat on white matte card, tearing the bottom edge. Stamp “love you” at the bottom right. Glue to the front of a black card base.
4. Insert a white brad in the center of two stacked flowers. Draw a heart with black pen on the mini tag, then color with red. Wrap around the brad in the flower and add a bit of baker’s twine. Glue to the card front, popping the mini tag up on foam tape.
And you’re done! Such a fun and easy heat embossing technique, and one that you can adapt depending on the color combinations you choose.
