I do like that you can heat emboss a digital image printed on vellum. In this case, I printed on green vellum and embossed with gold. I die cut a window in both the raised panel and the card base to take full advantage of the translucent property of the vellum. Gold square brads in the corners hold the vellum to the cardstock without worrying about using adhesive that might show.
If you need a last-minute Thanksgiving craft, or are hard at work on your Christmas cards, why not join us this week?
Supplies: Stampin' Up very vanilla cardstock, green vellum, A Creative Need christmas wreath with bow image, pirate gold embossing powder, Spellbinders circle die, $ store square brads, pop-dot tape
This is so elegant and beautiful, really festive card. Have a nice day!

Well, blow me over. I didn't know that I could heat emboss a digital image. Learn something new every day. Now I can't wait to try it. I'm assuming you use an inkjet printer? Gorgeous card. I was trying to figure out how you used a digi from A Creative Need.
ReplyDeleteShut the front door! Had no idea that you can heat emboss a digital image on vellum. Thanks for the heads up! Lindsey, you card is just gorgeous! Love it!
ReplyDeleteMe too I didn't know you could emboss digis on vellum! Now I really have to get more vellum :) I love how it looks like 2 shades of green with the cut-out behind :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! So how quickly do you have to get the embossing powder onto the vellum before the ink dries? And does the vellum warp a lot?
