  • Tie gold ribbon around the right side of the red card stock.
  • Attach red card stock to gold paper, then gold paper to card front.

Embossing Instructions

  • Ink stamp with embossing ink.
  • Stamp image (unless you have a tinted embossing ink you won't be able to see it very well
  • will look wet).
  • Sprinkle embossing powder over stamped image.
  • Shake excess powder off card & back into embossing powder bottle.
  • Heat with a heat gun until embossing powder melts. You should see a color change when it melts.
  • Be careful not to heat too much or your paper will curl & burn.
  • Don't waste time between steps. You have to put the embossing powder on before the embossing ink dries. Embossing inks are designed to stay wet longer but it's still a good idea to move quickly.
