To begin with, I started by running through my Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine the largest die from the Stronger Together Stamp & Die Set to die-cut 4X the branch out of white cardstock.
Once, all 4 die-cutting branches were done, I carefully covered the entire perimeter of 2 branches with WOW! Embossing Ink as for the other 2, I flipped them over and I covered the backing of them with the embossing ink. In case you ask yourself why I did that? Well, as simple as is, I did it that way, because I didn’t want all branches to be facing in the same direction.
So, after I was done inking the branches up, I selected 2 branches that were facing in the opposite side, and I covered them with Dominica. Then, I covered the other 2 branches with Montserrat (by the way both powders are from the WOW! Trio Caribbean Charm)
Soon after, I finishing covering the branches with the embossing glitter, I heat set them with my WOW! Heat Embossing Gun Tool until the powders were completely melted. So therefore, to complete the heat embossing process, I placed inside my stamping tool one of the cluster leaves from the Be Kind Stamp & Die Set, to stamp the images over a large piece of translucent vellum with embossing ink.
Once, the cluster leaves were stamped over the translucent vellum with embossing ink, I white heat embossed the stamping with WOW! Opaque Bright White. Last but not least, after the heat embossing was finish, I ran through the die-cutting machine the cluster along with its coordinated die to die-cut it out from the vellum. Also, to add texture to the card panel, I ran through the die-cutting machine a white card panel along with one of my old times favorites Lumber 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder.
To assemble the card first; I trimmed the textured card panel to H 5.0’’x W 3-3/4’’in. Second, I mounted each of the branches with foam mounting tape to the textured white card panel (as shown in the images above) Third, I wrapped around a few times a large pieces of DMC Metallic Thread and I added it in the middle of the branches. Fourth, I mounted with double foam tape the white heat embossed cluster leaves over the thread, and to finish the assembling off, I mounted a sentiment which I’ve had heat embossed previously with WOW! Metallic Gold Rich on a piece of white cardstock.
Finally, to finish the card off, I glued down with liquid glue a few clear Yellow/Green sequins and gemstones for an extra shiny look. With that being said, I hope you’ve enjoyed reading the step by step on how I’ve created today’s “Thank you” card. But most of all, I hope this card inspires you to give it a try!
