Embossing on a Greeting Card and a Manilla Tag
#v14512
A greeting card and envelope from the Happy Moments series decorated with textured paper and embossing on the front. The embossing is made with copper embossing powder in a pattern made with glue dots from an E-Z Runner. Natural hemp is used as a waistband with a manilla tag (also decorated with embossing) tied on.

How to do it
1 Cut a 7x15 cm piece of textured paper. Place a ruler with a high edge 2 cm from one side vertically. Roll a glue dot pattern from the top and down using an E-Z Runner.
2 Sprinkle embossing powder onto the glue dots. Shake the paper lightly in order to remove excess powder.
3 Use a heat gun over the pattern until the powder has hardened and shines.
4 Use the same E-Z Runner to glue the piece of paper onto the front of the greeting card.
5 Manilla tag with a stamped print: Dab the stamp onto the stamp pad with embossing glue.
6 Make a stamped print on the manilla tag. NB: Use the red arrow on the stamp as a guide for the direction the print should face. Sprinkle embossing powder onto the wet glue and use a heat gun in the same manner as described previously.
7 Tie the manilla tag onto a piece of natural hemp and then around the greeting card like a waistband.
