heat embossed die cuts

Welcome to WOW! Embossing Powder!

Clean & Simple Hugs

1. Cut the three separate pieces that make up the Grandiose Bevel Layering die set; top and bottom pieces from Gold Mirror and the middle layer from WOW Superior Smooth white cardstock.
2. Using your choice of adhesive, glue the three pieces together and leave under something heavy whilst it dries.
3. Emboss a piece of WOW cardstock in Midnight powder, from my Moonlight Trio and now available in a stand-alone pot. 
4. Die cut the shadow layer of the Hugs Sugar Script die from this Moonlight piece and the letters later from the same Gold Mirror cardstock. (To add dimension, glue a couple of extra word die cuts behind the Gold one and then adhere to the embossed shadow.
5. Adhere the layered Grandiose Bevel piece onto the centre of an a2 panel of Neenah 80lb, then add the ‘hugs’ die cut to the centre of that.
6. Foil the ‘hugs & kisses’ sentiment from my pack of Fab Foilers Sweet Sentiments in Bright Gold. Then trim the hugs portion off and add it below the die cut ‘hugs’ with some strips of scrap cardstock behind for additional dimension.

Simple, but effective! 😍

Die Cut Inlay Background

1. Die cut the top, most detailed layer of the Grandiose Bevel set from Navy Blue cardstock, carefully keeping the negative pieces as you’ll need those for this next bit!
2. Adhere the Navy, positive die cut onto some scrap cardstock and carefully add the Gold pieces into the main ‘star’ type shapes running down the centre. (These are the pieces leftover from that last card!)
3. Now, fill in the empty spaces with the Navy pieces.
4. Adhere that whole die cut inlay piece onto a piece of the same Gold Mirror cardstock, before trimming that down to give a nice, neat border all of the way around.
5. Cut the shadow for the ‘hugs’ die from WOW white cardstock and then add a triple thick die cut of the Navy cut word die.
6. From the Midnight embossed leftovers from the last card, cut the largest flower piece and set aside.
7. Cut the detail layer from WOW cardstock with double sided adhesive on the top of it. Peel back the reveal and add Gold Dust Sparkles for some extra glitz!
8. Assemble the ‘hugs’ and flower onto the die cut in-lay panel.

Feel Better Soon

1. Cut an a2 piece of WOW Ultra White cardstock and gently blend blue ink from the bottom of the panel, letting it fade to nothing.
2. Cut the top layer of the Grandiose die set from Gold foil cardstock, and adhere to the bottom of the ink blended panel.
3. Heat emboss a panel with Midnight and cut the base layers for 3 flowers, and the word die piece. Adhere this word onto a gold foil cardstock shadow piece.
4. Cut the smaller pieces for the flowers from cardstock with double sided adhesive on the top. Peel back the release, and cover in Gold Essential Sparkles.
5. Adhere the sentiment & flowers to your card panel with a mix of liquid & foam adhesive to give you dimension & interest.
6. For a sub sentiment, add one of the Sweet Sentiments, foiled in Bright Gold Fab Foil & cut down into a strip.
