Hello friends
I know...it doesn't quite have the same ring to it as Friday Die Day...
I'm going to work on a more inspired name!
Nonetheless - today I'm bringing you a little technique using
Scrapbook Adhesives - 3D Foam Hearts
(although this technique could work on all their 3D foam products).
Firstly when you use up all your 3D Foam Squares do not throw away the pieces of
backing paper. Use a piece of this to place a 3D Foam Heart on to and then
it is easy to remove and place on your project.
Both sides of the heart are high tack - lift the paper layer and remove.
Sprinkle with embossing powder.
Shake off the excess.
Heat with a heat gun/tool, I prefer to keep it on the lower temperature and move
the heat around slowly. You can see here how it is bubbling and turning metallic looking.
As soon as the whole surface is shiny, lay it flat and push a stamp into it.
I chose a script stamp but any others would work.
It leaves an embossed image which looks really effective.
Your stamp will be fine too, no worries of hot embossing powder stuck to it,
a quick wipe and it is back to new.
I'm going to be experimenting with more of the 3D Foam shapes, especially now
there is butterflies!!
Take care friends - enjoy your Sunday, I'm back tomorrow.

Hi Christine, great technique, I forget to do things like this, so it's good to have reminders to get the embossing powders out. Have a lovely day.

Hi Christine, I discovered these foam shapes a while ago, through you and I love them! I used this technique on some hearts last year and it is really effective, but it had temporarily slipped my mind, so thanks for the reminder! Happy Sunday, Carole Z X

Thanks

Hello Christine - Skills on Sunday perhaps? Great to be reminded of techniques though that are worth revisiting and using with new embellishments. xxMargaretxx
Hi Christine. I haven't thought of pushing a stamp into the hot embossing powder. Will be trying it out later. I thought of Show How Sunday, but like Maggies Skills on Sunday too. Take care.
This technique gives a unique embellishment for little cost and effort. Brill idea to keep the backing sheets from used up foam squares.

Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Christine, thanks for this brilliant technique. How ingenious using a stamp on the embossed surface to create texture.
Hope you had a lovely day.
