Hi, Judy here today! This Heart Dangle Card features a technique of randomly applying foil over a stamped design that has been embossed with embossing powder. I used the technique on the 3D Foam Hearts as well.
Stamp Background
Cut 4 x 5-inch navy cardstock for a card panel.
Ink background stamp with Versamark ink and stamp on navy cardstock. Cover the image with white embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss with a heat tool.
Apply Foil
Take out blue foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. This is a good technique to use foil that has been used and still has areas of color as this technique is meant to add touches of foil rather than completely cover images.
Use a heat gun to reheat the area of the embossed design, place foil over the heated area, and press lightly. Allow to cool slightly and then peel away the foil sheet. Repeat until desired foil transfer is achieved. It’s important to heat emboss just enough to be sticky but not too soft as to smear. It may take a little practice.
Assemble Card Base
Cut an 8.25 x 6.5-inch piece of white cardstock, score, and fold to a 4.125 x 6.5-inch card.
Use an embossing folder and die-cutting machine to emboss the bead board design on 4 x 4.25 piece white cardstock. Trim to 4.125 inches wide and cut in half (across bead board pattern). Fasten each half to the top and bottom of the card front using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the card. It’s easier to apply to a flat card front than an embossed piece.
Cut dusty aqua card stock 4.125 x 5.25 inch. Apply adhesive to back of navy foiled piece with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and fasten to dusty aqua mat. Fasten both to card front using E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive.
Stamp Greeting
Stamp greeting with Versamark ink on navy cardstock, cover with white embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss with a heat tool.
Use a die and die cutting machine to cut decorative edge square around verse. Tap edge of verse on Versamark ink pad, cover edge with white embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss with heat tool. Repeat on all edges of verse.
Make Heart Dangles
Cut 2 lengths of white pearl cotton about 3 inches long.
Take out sheet of hearts from 3D Foam Hearts, peel liner from a medium heart and place end of pearl cotton on it. Remove another medium heart and place it over heart with string. Repeat for a second heart.
Peel liner from one side of a heart, press into white embossing powder and heat with heat tool. Repeat for second heart. Peel liner from back side of heart and heat emboss with white embossing powder. Gently reheat heart and place foil on it, allow it to cool slightly and peel foil away. Repeat as needed for desired effect. Apply foil to other heart in same way.
Fasten Greeting
Place 3D Foam Squares White Regular on back of stamped greeting piece with extra one at center bottom. Peel liner from center foam square and place strings of hearts on it, press string into adhesive and trim string ends. Peel liners from remaining 3D Foam Squares and fasten greeting to card front.
Add Bow
Tie 2 strands of pearl cotton in a small bow and trim ends. Place Adhesive Dots Mini on back of knot of bow and fasten at top of greeting.
