I created this card using the Center Cut Kaleidoscope stamp, Gold Embossing Powder, and the Believe in the Magic of Christmas stamp.
I began by rubbing the surface of the red cardstock with an Embossing Buddy. This prevented extra embossing powder from sticking to the cardstock. Next, I inked the Center Cut Kaleidoscope stamp with the VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad. This provided a clear translucent ink for the embossing powder. I placed the stamp on the red cardstock, sprinkled gold embossing powder over the surface, removed the excess embossing powder, and heat embossed the stamped image.
I repeated the process with the Believe in the Magic stamp. But, vellum can warp easily, so I heat embossed it from the back and only a few seconds on the front, being careful not to get to close. I anchored the vellum with the 3/8” Scor-Tape behind the red cardstock. I also put a 1/4″ piece of Scor-Tape, about an inch long, behind the Believe in the Magic stamped image to anchor the vellum to the red cardstock.

I can’t believe that it’s going to be 2020 in just a few hours. Have a wonderful New Year’s Eve and New Year!!!
