Embossing without the Heat gun…

Today I am going to show you a quick way to emboss without the heat gun.  I love embossing and love finding new products that will give me that embossed look without having to get my heat gun out and make a mess with my embossing powders.  Don’t get me wrong I love my heat gun and embossing powders but I love to play with new products too.

So today you will need:

  • My stamp box  “Wishing you Sunshine” stamp set
  • Ranger Dimensional Pearls in 2 colors
  • Paint brush
  • Clear block
  • Pattern paper
  • Cardstock
  • Ribbon
  • Ink

Instructions:

  1. Trim your cardstock to 11.25×4.75 and fold in half
  2. Trim your pattern paper to 5.5×4.5
  3. Squeeze a little of your dimensional pearls onto a scrap piece of paper (about a dime size of each)
  4. smear the 2 colors together with paint brush as seen belowwishing-you-sunshine-step1a1
  5. Take  stamp and dab it into the dimensional pearls 2-3 times and then stamp on pattern paper. (continue with this step as many times as you wish till you get what your looking for)wishing-you-sunshine-step1b3
  6. Once the dimensional pearls dry it will look and feel like it was embossed onto your paper.wishing-you-sunshine-step1c1
  7. At this time continue to embellish as you wish and adhere to your cardstock card.
