Just One More Card

Discovering the world of card making. One Project at a time.

Heat Emboss Resist – Autumn Edition

September 17, 2016

An Autumn Hello

Hello crafters! Today I have a fun project for you featuring an oldie but goodie technique, namely heat embossed resist. I am entering this project into the MFT Superstar competition and I’m quite nervous about that 🙂 In addition, I wanted to see if I can stretch my supplies a bit — My Favorite Things has a gorgeous new fall stamp set, but I wanted to see if I can create a similar autumn project with the Build-able Bouqet set.

The heat resist emboss technique is quite easy, actually. All you need to do is find an image which you can heat emboss, and the heat embossing will resist most of everything what you put on top of it. In my case, I’m using simple distress ink. Once you’re done, you could even wipe the embossed areas clean, but I felt it wasn’t even necessary in my case. I was also using clear embossing powder, since my watercolor panel was already white. The embossing powder trapped the white underneath it.

An Autumn Hello

Even though this is an autumn card, I felt it needed some shimmer. So, of course, I had to grab my Mister which was filled with a mixture of water and Perfect Pearls. I spritzed my project only twice to make sure I wouldn’t reactivate the distress ink again. But even so it added a beautiful nice shimmer to my card.

An Autumn Hello

As for the sentiment, I decided to cut the word “hello” from white and brown card stock. By adhering them on top of each other with a slight offset, it appears more dimensional and has more contrast against the colorful watercolor panel. I’m picking up the brown color of the sentiment in the Bakers Twine that wrapped around the panel as well.

An Autumn Hello

Last but not least, I added a few sequins by Pretty Pink Posh to my project. I love the new 3 mm size of the Sparkling Clear sequins and the Espresso color works perfectly with my sentiment and the Bakers Twine.

I hope you enjoyed this project. Since I absolutely love the competition that My Favorite Things has going at this time, I’ll be entering more projects over the next few days, so be prepared for lots more videos to come 🙂

I’m also sending this card off to Time Out “Fall” and Addicted To Stamps and More “Anything Goes”.

    You don’t need to be nervous about the MFT competition Julia, I’m sure your talent will get you noticed. If I were you, I would submit at least 1 card with the brilliant colouring you are so good at. Good luck!

    Great video. I don’t know why I never thought about using my tweezers to hold the knot for ribbon tying before.
