Hello everyone! Judy<\/a> here to share how to use Premium Tape and WOW! Embossing Powders to create a stunning heat embossed background for cards and other projects!<\/p>\n

\n
\"Heat<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Heat Embossed Background<\/h2>\n

Let’s start with a piece of 5.5 x 8.5-inch tan cardstock as the card panel. I thought the color would blend in and not be obvious if it showed between tape strips. You can make any size card panel you want!<\/p>\n

\n
\"Heat<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Apply alternating pieces of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1 inch<\/a> and Premium Double-Sided Tape 1\/4 inch<\/a> on the card panel. Burnish the tapes well with a bone folder.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Heat<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Remove the top liners from the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1 inch<\/a> first and sprinkle with WOW! Opaque Primary Angel Eyes Embossing Powder. Tap off the excess.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Heat<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Next, remove the top liners from the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1\/4 inch<\/a> and cover with WOW! Metallic Gold Rich Super Fine Embossing Powder. Tap off the excess.<\/p>\n

Designer’s Tip:<\/strong> press the embossing powder into the tape with the fingertips to be sure there is good coverage and the powders are secured.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Heat<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Use a heating tool to melt embossing powders over the entire piece. See the magic happen for a stunning heat embossed background. But we’re not done yet!<\/p>\n

The Stamping Details<\/h2>\n
\n
\"Heat<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Randomly stamp the flower image across the 1-inch Opaque Primary Angel Eyes (turquoise color) embossed areas with dark brown ink. Use scratch paper to mask off the gold strips to protect it from the stamping.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Heat<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Next, stamp the script design with black ink across entire piece for another layer of design. Rub off any ink on the gold strips with a paper towel.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

With two different flourish stamps and Versafine Black Onyx ink, randomly stamp two-three flourishes at a time. Cover with Metallic Gold Rich Super Fine Embossing Powder, tap off excess and heat to emboss. Repeat to cover the entire piece. When cooled, cut the card panel to 3.75 x 5.50-inch.<\/p>\n

Beautiful Bold Black Accents<\/h2>\n
\n
\"Heat<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Cut a 1 x 5.50-inch strip of black cardstock and apply Premium Double-Sided Tape 1\/8in<\/a> along the 5.50-inch edge. Remove the top liner and cover it with the Metallic Gold Rich Super Fine Embossing Powder. Tap off the excess and melt with a heating tool. <\/p>\n

Stamp the birthday greetings using Versafine Onyx Black ink and Metallic Gold Rich Super Fine Embossing Powder. Melt with a heating tool. Trim paper as needed.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Heat<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Card Assembly<\/h2>\n

Create a 4.25 x 5.50-inch (A2 size) card base from ivory cardstock. Secure the black cardstock strip about a 1\/8-inch from the open edge using E-Z Runner\u00ae Grand Refillable Dispenser<\/a>. Adhere the embossed card panel to the card front using E-Z Runner\u00ae Grand Refillable Dispenser<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Heat<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Place Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix<\/a> in regular size to the back of the Happy Birthday sentiment. Next, cut one Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix<\/a> in regular size into thirds and apply them to the back of the narrow sentiment. Adhere both sentiments to the card front.<\/p>\n

\n

I hope you’ve enjoyed learning how to make this heat embossed background! I plan to make a few more pieces to have on hand for a quick card. Just imagine all the color combinations with different embossing powders and stamping!<\/p>\n
