Today I’ve got a video to share with some heat embossing basics tips and tricks! And you’ll see how I went a little crazy with my variations, once I got started playing!
I am in LOVE with this Winter Wood stamp set. In fact I’ve got another design waiting for you for Keep it Simple Sunday coming up!
I think the set of five trees like I used here is my favourite stamp but the birch trees and the Christmas fir run a pretty darn close second.
Let’s take a look from a different angle before we get to the video.
What do you notice?
- There’s more than five trees? Yes, a whole forest. And it was so easy to create with my Stamparatus.
- Feathery fibres brushing out the side of the greeting? Yes, let me show you how to make that too!
- Champagne and navy “leaves” framing the simple sentiment? Yup, with embossed veins to add interest and realism.
- The silvery shiny embossing perhaps? Possibly. 😚 Why don’t we get to that right away.
