Video - Deep Impressions Embossing Technique For All Occasions


One of my favorite techniques of all time is Deep Impressions embossing and I learned how to do it from Fran Seiford of Stampendous. The technique requires using a heat source from under the chipboard piece such as an electric griddle and I recently figured out how to do that so that you can see the process in a video. I had so much fun I made many cards for all occasions and share them in my newest video here and will show many this week on my blog. 


This is my favorite of the cards I made with this fun technique. Just look at the texture on that ornament! The ornament dies are from Spellbinders and I used Seth Apter and Stampendous embossing powders on the chipboard ornament before stamping with an old words background stamp from Stampin' Up. Here is a close up of the gorgeous deeply textured ornament and the inside of the card showing the partial die cut front:



I just love how this card turned out! Here is another of my favorite cards that I made with the Deep Impressions technique:


I love the sentiment on this card which is a die cut from Ellen Hutson and is so uplifting. I die cut an older feather die from Quik Cutz and placed a Clear Views transparency behind the opening. The chipboard feather was created with Stampendous Aged Ivory and Seasonings embossing powder and some brown glitter from Tonic Studios and was stamped with a postage stamp background from Fun Stampers Journey. 

Would you like to learn how to make these gorgeous deeply embossed embellishments for your cards and craft projects? Come watch my video here. It is a longer video but is full of many samples and then I show you how to make the Deep Impressions pieces. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing and thanks. too, for helping me #share the joy of creativity!
