I am back again for day 3 of my week as a Growing In Unity gal!
If you haven't already, please be sure you are following me on Facebook and on Instagram. I'd love to keep in touch with you there.
I thought it would be fun to create a shaker card for today's post...so I did!
I heat embossed the floral image from the Blossomy Condolences stamp set using black embossing powder on clear film. I then added some doodling around the die cut window. I layered that over some patterned paper, enclosing some sequins into the shaker portion of the card. A sentiment can be stamped inside to fit the occasion whenever I am ready for it.
Be sure to leave a comment on each of my Growing In Unity posts for the week to be entered to win 25 random stamps from Unity Stamp Company!
(I'll choose TWO winners when the week is over.)

ReplyDeleteLove this. Hope do you keep your film from warping when you heat emboss?
ReplyDeleteI use a heat resistant product (linked in the supply list) and also make sure my heat gun has been running for a bit before bringing it to the embossing powder. I also just emboss little sections at a time so that the heat is not staying on the clear film for a long time (which can cause warping).
DeleteI do need to branch out into doing some shaker cards. Like what you did with this one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful shaker card. I have never made one, but would LOVE to. I like interactive cards!
ReplyDeleteVery nice shaker card. Thanks for including the type of film you embossed on. Mine has always warped. Now I know what will work. 😀
ReplyDeleteYou do still need to be careful with it, but it can be done!

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card! How hard is it to emboss on the clear film without it melting?
