The kids in in my after school class have been stamping with me for a few years now, and are ready to move beyond the basics. So for tomorrow’s class we are going to be focusing on Heat Embossing. (Which ties in perfectly with this week’s Pals Paper Arts challenge!) Below is one of the cards we are going to make. It uses the Baby Wipe Technique to stamp the butterflies, then the entire image is covered in VersaMark ink and then Iridescent Ice Embossing powder for the Dazzling Diamonds Technique. I think the girls will have a ton of fun with this one!
Stamps: Butterfly Patterns, Flight of the Butterfly
Ink: VersaMark, Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo
Paper: Pacific Point, Melon Mambo, Whisper White
Other: Butterfly Punch, Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder, Scallop Square Clear Bigz Die, Stampin’ Dimensionals
Plus they get to use the Big Shot to cut out their card base, so what could be bad?












Wow this is definitely dazzling! Beautiful technique with beautiful results~!
Wow Yapha, this is beautiful! I love the colors and I know the kids will too. What a fun card for them to make. I do have a question for you though. After putting the stamp on the babywipe with reinkers, then do you add the stamp to the versamark? Wouldn’t you get color transfered to the Versamark pad? Could you still you the VM pad afterwards? You can tell I haven’t done this technique before! lol. The results are so pretty. Have a fun class.
Mmmmm….sparkly! Love all those shiny butterflies on your lovely card!

So pretty! The kids are going to have a blast! Hope you have lots of Swiffer sheets to pick up all the excess…
