Embossing Blog Hop

Welcome to the Embossing Blog Hop

Hosted by Georgiana of Carson's Creations

All projects in this hop...cards, layouts, altered, home decor, etc.. will include at least one form of embossing, either dry or heat.

Now you should be coming from Karen's but if you just stopped in and want to start from the beginning head on over to Georgiana's.

I have found myself more and more drawn to heat embossing....love the way it looks completed so

for my project today I made a cute little Easter Pillow Box, using the heat embossing technique the image is embossed using Deliquesce Black Embossing Powder from Creative Inspirations Paint

The Pillow Box, front and back liner as well as the ever so adorable sentiment tag are

 a new set that Regina from The Cutting Cafe put together for me and this hop called Bunny Poop

Are they not the cutest....you can check the whole set out here.

Also used for this project~

3 Girl Jam Crinkle Ribbon in Goblin Green and Witch's Brew (who said they have to be used for Halloween?)

My LOVE~ The Cameo!!!

Twine from Trendy Twine in Grape Fizz

Now...

For those of you not familiar with heat embossing here are the basic tools needed for this project

 Heat tool ~of course

Stamp of choice to emboss~ I used My Creative Time's Hello Spring Stamp set

Embossing ink~ Versamark Stamp Pad, there are many others out there...I just LOVE my Versamark

Embossing Powder~ mine is Deliquesce Black from Creative Inspirations Paint

Extra's~acrylic block and cardstock to stamp on.

And here is what you do...

~Ink stamp and stamp image

~Pour embossing powder onto image while it is still wet.

~Tap excess powder off sheet and put back into jar.

~Heat until powder melts and becomes shiny.

This is so super easy and the end result....awesome in my opinion!!
