My Hero with Emerald Envy Embossing

This stamp set is named My Hero, which is a great name because it’s the charity set. For each set bought, Stampin’ Up! donates to the Ronald McDonald House Charities (over a million dollars so far) so you need to buy it. Not only because of the charity donation, but because it’s a fun set.

Stampin' Up! Weather Together

Here’s an image of the complete set:

Fun right? Today I used the umbrella and I used a trick that I saw on Pootles’ site. She mentioned a much easier way to emboss any colour. First you use the embossing buddy and then tap your image onto a versamark pad and then onto the colour that you want. After you stamp it, you add clear embossing powder to the card and then heat it. Voila. Heat embossing in whatever colour you like. Sam says that she’s been doing this for three years and hasn’t seen any issues with her ink pads. That’s good enough for me! Heat embossing in every colour here I come!

Once I’d heat embossed my image in deep rich emerald envy, I cut it out with the Umbrella Weather Framelits dies.  Next I used the archival basic black ink to create the umbrella handle (it’s two images) and cut that out as well. After gluing my umbrella to the whisper white, I used more basic black to add the raindrops from the Weather Together set. The whisper white then had a basic black mat before I adhered it to an emerald envy card base. I used a sentiment from the same set inside the card. I think this card would perk up someone who was sick. Hopefully!

You need this set. LOL. I feel like the famous posters calling people to sign up.

See you tomorrow,

Liz
