The Heat is On!!!

 

Last month's clubs featured the Cheers to You stamp set and FIVE ways to use your heat tool! Carrie Gaskin shared this class idea on Stampin' Up!'s demonstrator website! It is amazing how many ideas you can get from all over the country - complete with measurements and instructions! Now, you may ask why I am posting photos of retired products (the In Colors shown are currently unavailable). Some of my club members were unable to attend and I wanted to share the instructions so they can create their projects. But, you can still be inspired by this post just change up the colors and you can create the same cards!

Basic Heat Embossing

1. Fold your 6” x 6” piece of Pacific Point card stock in half using a bone folder.

2. Punch out three 1‐3/4” circles, one in Baja Breeze, Tangerine Tango, and Kiwi Kiss and set aside.

3. Stamp the beer stein twice on scrap card stock using VersaMark ink. Sprinkle with black embossing powder and heat with the heat tool. Color these in using More Mustard Classic ink and a blender pen and punch out with the 1‐3/8” Circle punch.

4. Stamp the saying “cheers to you” on scrap card stock using VersaMark ink and sprinkle with black embossing powder as above. Punch out with the 1‐3/8” Circle punch.

5. Adhere embossed pieces to previously punched‐out colored circles.

6. Add your embellishments of ribbon, brads, and buttons as you like.

Cracked Glass Technique

1. Fold your 6” x 6” piece of Tangerine Tango card stock in half using a bone folder.

2. Adhere the 1” x 6” piece of Pink Pirouette card stock to the bottom of the card.

3. Staple a piece of Baja Breeze striped ribbon just above the Pink Pirouette card stock.

4. Run a piece of Kiwi Kiss card stock through the Sizzix Big Shot using the XL Pennant Die and cut out a large scallop circle.

5. Stamp the margarita image from Cheers to You on scrap card stock using Jet Black Staz On ink. Color in using In Color Classic inks and a blender pen. Cover image with VersaMark ink and sprinkle with Glassy Glaze embossing powder and heat with your heat tool. Repeat at least three more times.

6. Punch out the image with the 1‐3/4” Circle punch and place it in the freezer. Wait 5 minutes and remove. Bend to “crack” the glass.

7. Stamp sentiment in Tangerine Tango ink.

8. Add your embellishments as desired.

Iridescent Ice Sparkle Technique

1. Fold your 6” x 6” Baja Breeze card stock in half with a bone folder.

2. Stamp swirl image onto the 3” x 2‐1/2” piece of Kiwi Kiss card stock using your Kiwi Kiss Classic ink.

3. Distress the edges and tie a piece of white taffeta ribbon around it. Adhere to the card base.

4. Stamp sentiment onto Barely Banana piece of card stock or directly onto card.

5. Take a piece of scrap card stock and stamp the wine glasses image from Cheers to You in Staz On. Color them in with a Barely Banana marker.

6. Cover the image with your VersaMark pad and sprinkle with Iridescent Ice embossing powder. Heat with your heat tool.

7. Punch image out with the Wide Oval punch and adhere to the card with dimensionals.

Scratch and Sniff Technique

1. Fold your 6” x 6” piece of Pink Pirouette card stock in half with a bone folder.

2. Stamp the daiquiri image and saying from Cheers to You in Jet Black Staz On ink on a 2‐1/4” x 2‐3/4” piece of Whisper White card stock. Color the image in with your In Color ink pads and blender pens.

3. Use a VersaMarker to color over the areas you’d like to emboss and sprinkle over it some clear embossing powder mixed with your favorite drink mix (1:1 ratio, use drink mix with NO SUGAR). I used Tropical Punch Kool Aid. Heat with your heat tool. Now if you scratch where you’ve embossed, you’ll smell tropical punch!

4. Round two of the corners of your embossed piece with the Corner Rounder punch.

5. Round two corners of a piece of Riding Hood Red card stock measuring 2‐1/2” x 3”. Adhere these two layers together.

6. Add a strip of Kiwi Kiss ribbon using Mini Glue Dots.

7. Use your Stamp‐a‐ma‐jig to line up the words from Fundamental Phrases.

8. Add a Riding Hood Red button with a Mini Glue Dot and then the embossed piece with dimensionals.

Emboss Resist Technique

1. Fold your 6” x 6” piece of Kiwi Kiss card stock in half with a bone folder.

2. Stamp the martini image from Cheers to You in VersaMark ink randomly on your 2‐1/2” x 5‐1/2” piece of Glossy card stock. Sprinkle with white or clear embossing powder and heat with your heat tool.

3. Sponge first with Kiwi Kiss ink using a Stampin’ sponge and then highlight the olives using Riding Hood Red ink and a blender pen making sure to heat set in case your red has “pooled”.

4. Adhere this layer to a piece of 2‐3/4” x 5‐3/4” Riding Hood Red card stock.

5. Punch out a 1‐3/8” circle of Kiwi Kiss card stock and a 3/4” circle of Riding Hood Red. Adhere together and punch two 1/16” circles on the top and bottom. Add a toothpick as per example.

6. Stamp “celebrate” from Fundamental Phrases in Basic Black ink on a 1/2” strip of Riding Hood Red card stock and punch with the new Modern Label punch. Attach two black brads and adhere over the glossy card stock.
