 Hey stampers! Welcome to another week of Watch It Weekly Wednesday. I'm Aubrey and today I'm excited to share with you a fun technique that you could do on some of your cards. It's kind of different and it's not one that I've used very much before. I have seen it around and I just kind of put my own twist on it but it is really fun so I wanted to share it with you. I love the look of the old timey wax seals. I hope you know what I'm talking about like on an envelope for somebody like that seals an envelope from like olden times. Do you know what I'm talking about? And you can actually do that and get that look with embossing powder. So I just kind of wanted to show you and do that and then show you a fun project, a card idea that I came up with using this technique. So I am using the Love What You Do stamp set and the Make a Different stamp set for this project. These are really fun ones and they had some of the images that I wanted to use so those are the ones I chose. Let me bring this in really quick. So this is some of the things that I as I was playing and trying to figure out how it works. This is some of the things I came up with. So this is from the stamp that's in this Love What You Do. I just stamped it down and then embossed and then I stamped the image right into the embossing powder as it was still warm and cooling from when I heated it up. And then I did a letter here on this one. I did a flower. This is actually from a different stamp set but I thought it was really cool. So anyway it's fun and I want to kind of show you how to do it. So I started with a punch. This is the 1 and 3 8 scallop circle punch and I just punched it out and I'm going to use VersaMark and I'm just going to push the whole punch here in my VersaMark like that. And then I'm going to take gold embossing powder and sprinkle it all over the whole thing. My fingers are going to get all messy. That's okay. And then I'm going to take my heat tool and I'm going to emboss that. Wait for it to heat up and it'll start melting that embossing powder. You can see like so. Okay I am going to do that two more times. So I'm going to have three layers of VersaMark and embossing powder before I stamp my image because I want it to really have that good like waxy look on it. So I'm just going to bring my VersaMark back in and get it all over and then back in my embossing powder like that and then heat it again. You can see it starting to get thick and then I'm going to do it one more time. And on this last time I'm going to have the image that I want to stamp handy because when you stamp it down it needs to still be really hot from the heating so that it will get the image in there really good. Okay. So I'm going to VersaMark again and I think I can just scoop up this time embossing powder again and then I'm going to heat again. Okay I'm going to make sure it's really nice and hot and then I'm going to stamp my image right in there. Do you see how cool that is? That stamped image in there. So another cool thing and I'm actually going to show you this. If by chance you don't like the way you stamped it or it gets smudged or it doesn't stamp 100% like maybe it was cooled too much you can take your heat tool and just reheat and it will melt the image back. Do you see that? So it's almost like it gives you a second chance. So make sure it's really hot and just do it again. Kinda cool. And there's no residue or anything that's left onto your stamp. See and that's actually even a better deeper image when I did it the second time so I'm glad I reheated it. Very cool. And yeah there's nothing left over on your stamp. It doesn't ruin the stamp at all. So that's something I was a little nervous about when I first tried it but nope it was fine. Isn't that so pretty? So cool. Such a cool technique. So let me just show you the card I came up with using this. So cute. Look at how cute. Just a fun little detail that you can put on the card and I also did an envelope. I stamped the envelope and look I did a little A wax seal on the back. Now obviously it's not going to be what's holding my card together. I just adhered it on there but it gives it kind of that old tiny elegant look that I was going for and I love it. I just did this when I punched out a one-inch circle punch and then did the same exact technique and then just use my letters from the Make A Difference stamp and did an A. A for Aubrey. So I hope that you'll take this and you'll make some fun ideas using this technique. It's so much fun to kind of play around with and see what you can come up with.
