Hey friends, I'm sharing another 60 second card video over on Instagram today, showing how I made this bright, fun, floral card! I don't know about you, but I had shied away from embossing on vellum, worrying about warping. Well, I decided it was time to bite the bullet, and guess what? It turned out beautifully!
I used my absolute favourite: adhesive vellum from XCut. This stuff is a game changer - no more having to hide adhesive on the reverse of the vellum and worrying about being able to see it!
I stamped the Hello Daisy image from Reverse Confetti using Embossing Ink, and heat embossed it in Super Fine Bright White. I made sure to properly heat up my heat tool, so it was nice and hot, so I could emboss the image quickly and reduce warping. I then fussy cut the image.
For my background, I cut some 1" strips of card from various pink cardstocks from Concord and 9th: Pink Lemonade, Briar Rose, Sweet Pea, Dragonfruit and Carnation. I adhered them to some scrap cardstock with tape runner, then trimmed the panel down to 5" x 3.75", then added it to an A2 card base with craft foam. To the front, I stuck the floral image.
For the sentiment, I heat embossed the "hello" from the same stamp set in Bright White powder on to some black card stock, fussy cut and added to the card with foam squares. I finished up with a few raindrops by Lucy's Cards.
Thanks for joining me again and I'll see you next time for more Exploring Embossing!
A single piece of China Metalized Bopet film manufacturers polyester film that is biaxially oriented can be made. It can also be co-extruded with other co-polymers to make a multi-layer plastic film that has the right properties of all three materials. The PET film can be used for many things because it is biaxially oriented. PET film that is made for food is often used to package food. In the same way, it is used in electric motors because it doesn't conduct electricity.
