Day 2 - Heat Embossing Techniques

Heat Embossing Detailsby Jennifer McGuireCard sizes: 44" x 52"

Adhesive Embossing1. Draw or write using a detail glue pen, and

emboss. This is a fantastic way to create fun, embossed doodles!

2. Emboss double-sided tape for quick stripes, which is great for border details or frames.

3. Emboss Glossy Accents to create raised dots. The results? A cool, faux enamel finish and loads of dimension.

Water Spatter Embossing1. Spatter water over a panel of cardstock, and

emboss the water for a clever speckled effect!

2. This technique will require you to hold the heat tool to your paper a bit longer because you’ll be drying the paper and melting the powder at the same time. Keep your heat tool moving to avoid warping.

Texture Paste Embossing1. Stretch your stencils and embossing paste by

adding a layer of heat embossing! Embossing powder sticks beautifully to the paste.

2. You have two options for this technique: 1) allow the paste to dry, then melt the powder for a smooth finish; or 2) heat set the powder right away, causing the paste to bubble and create extra texture. You’re sure to come up with uses for both options!

InstructionsAll Cards – Floral Panel3. Cut a wedge/triangle piece of cardstock, 44"

long, to use as a guide for stamp placement.

4. Place a 44" x 52" panel of white cardstock in a MISTI tool, and position a leaves stamp on the panel using the wedge piece from Step 1 as a guide along the top edge of the panel. Press the cover plate of the MISTI to mount the stamp. Stamp the leaves in green ink. Repeat to create three stamped panels.

5. Switch the leaves for the largest flower stamps, and stamp a flower on the first panel using the MISTI tool. Repeat to add a flower to each panel.

6. Switch the large flower for smaller flower stamps, and stamp the first panel to fill in around the leaves and large flower. Repeat to add smaller flowers to each panel.

7. Stamp details on each image, as desired, using acrylic blocks or a MISTI.

8. Cut the top of each panel at an angle, removing about an inch at the widest point—use the wedge from Step 1 as a guide, if needed.

9. Using a glue pen or embossing pen, draw detail lines and dots on the largest flower. Immediately cover with gold glitter embossing powder, before the glue dries.

10. Repeat Step 1 of this section to add details around and on the other flowers and leaves.

11. Heat emboss the panel.

I Can Always Count on You Card1. Lay a top-folding, light blue card (Pool) flat

on your work so the inside of the card is facing down.

2. Using a paintbrush, lightly spatter water over the top edge of the card. Immediately cover with gold glitter embossing powder, flick off the excess powder, and heat emboss.

3. Stamp a secondary greeting (“I can always count on you”) in VersaMark ink on yellow cardstock, and heat emboss using white embossing powder.

4. Adhere a piece of craft foam to the back of the floral panel, and trim the top edge of the foam flush with the angled edge of the panel.

5. Adhere the greeting strip to the top edge of the panel, and trim the ends flush with the panel’s edges.

6. Adhere the mounted panel to the embossed card.

7. Apply a double-sided adhesive sheet to both sides of a piece of white craft foam. Do not remove the backing/release paper. Die cut a greeting word (“thanks”) from the foam.

8. Die cut the word again from white cardstock. Adhere the cardstock word to the foam word.

9. Adhere the mounted die-cut word to the card, above the floral panel.


12

You Are Doing Great Card1. Position a stencil over the top portion of a top-

folding light blue card (Pool). Apply a thin layer of translucent/clear embossing paste thinly and evenly over the stencil using a palette knife. Remove the stencil and scrap away any paste overhanging the edges of the card.

2. Immediately cover with iridescent/clear embossing powder. Optional: Allow the embossing paste to dry completely.

3. Heat emboss the card.

4. Stamp a secondary greeting (“you are doing great”) in VersaMark ink on yellow cardstock, and heat emboss using white embossing powder.

5. Adhere a piece of craft foam to the back of the floral panel, and trim the top edge of the foam flush with the angled edge of the panel.

6. Adhere the greeting strip to the top edge of the panel, and trim the ends flush with the panel’s edges.

7. Adhere the mounted panel to the embossed card.

8. Apply a double-sided adhesive sheet to both sides of a piece of white craft foam. Do not remove the backing/release paper. Die cut a greeting word (“hugs”) from the foam.

9. Die cut the word again from white cardstock. Adhere the cardstock word to the foam word.

10. Adhere the mounted die-cut word to the card, above the floral panel.

Thanks Card1. Apply a strip of adhesive tape along the top, angled

edge of the floral panel. Cover the adhesive with gold glitter embossing powder, shake off the excess powder, and heat emboss.

2. Adhere the floral panel to a top-folding, light blue card (Pool).

3. Apply a second strip of adhesive tape to the card, parallel to the top edge of the floral panel. Cover the adhesive with gold glitter embossing powder, shake off the excess powder, and heat emboss.

4. Die cut a greeting word (“thanks”) from white cardstock. Adhere the die-cut word to the card, above the embossed strips.

Tips & Tricks to Note• Non-ink mediums require different amounts of time under

the heat tool than ink does. Before creating a card, practice

with your medium of choice and embossing powder until

you know how long you need to heat the powder for the

results you want.

• When you put your embossing powder down, hold

your project flat so the powder covers all sides of what’s

underneath. This is especially important when adding

powder to raised surfaces, such as embossing paste.

Layered Embossingby Laura BassenCard size: 44" x 52"

Embossed Plaid1. Pounce a powder bag or tool over a darker

colored cardstock panel (kraft) to reduce static and prevent stray embossing powder from sticking to un-inked areas.

2. Stamp a narrow stripe in VersaMark ink on the prepared panel, positioning the image at a diagonal.

3. Apply your first color of embossing powder (red) to the inked stripe, and heat set.

4. Repeat Steps 1-3 to create a cross-wise stripe on the panel, and begin your plaid pattern.

5. Repeat Steps 1-3, as desired, to create a plaid background. Select a variety of stripe widths and embossing colors to fill out your plaid design, as shown in the Day 2 video. Be sure to prepare the panel with your powder tool before stamping each stripe.

Embossed Stenciled Design1. Pounce a powder bag or tool over a darker

colored cardstock panel (Slate) to reduce static and prevent stray embossing powder from sticking to un-inked areas.

2. Position the panel under a plastic stencil (hexa-star design), and secure both the prepared panel and stencil to your work surface using low-tack tape.

3. Apply VersaMark ink directly to the panel by pressing the inkpad to the stencil. Remove the stencil to reveal the inked design.

4. Quickly pour a line of colored embossing powder (blue) over the bottom edge of the inked panel. Tap the panel to remove the excess powder.

5. Working swiftly toward the top of the panel, pour lines of colored embossing powder over the design, removing the excess powder as you work. Allow the colors to blend into each other on the panel and create a gradient.

6. Heat set the panel to emboss the entire colorful background at once.

Just Because Card1. Stamp a solid flower in VersaMark ink on

dark gray cardstock (Slate), and heat emboss using an opaque, colored embossing powder (light pink).

Tips & Tricks to Note• For those colorful, opaque embossing powders,

turn to your darker cardstock. Black, gray, or brown

backgrounds will make those gorgeous, vibrant

colors pop!

• When embossing an entire stenciled background,

work quickly so that your VersaMark ink doesn’t

dry before you get all of your embossing powder

in place.

2. Using the same stamp as Step 1, color the stamp using two colors of dye ink markers. Spritz the stamp with water to distribute the color. Stamp the watercolor inked image on the panel over one of the embossed flowers.

3. Repeat Step 2 to cover the entire panel. Allow the ink to dry completely or dry using a heat tool.

4. Apply a strip of painter’s tape about 4" from the top of the panel. Color over the exposed border using another dye ink marker. Distribute the color using a damp paintbrush. Remove the color from the embossed flowers using a clean paper towel or baby wipe.

Tips & Tricks to Note• Each of these embossed resist techniques would

make excellent card backgrounds. Pair one of

these with a big, bold greeting for a playful and

modern card!

• Embossing creates a barrier, making it easy to create

multi-color images using watercolors without fear of

the water spreading the color.

card making, including additional instruction on the

techniques Kathy used today, check out one of our
