Simple Scene and Heat Embossing Tips: Neat & Tangled 2019 Release

 Hello Crafters! 

You know it's either feast or famine around here right?
Good, I'm glad we're on the same page. 

Today is the last inspiration day for Neat & Tangled's Release week and I needed to use this sweet Elephant from the Swinging By set. 


I thought it would be fun to create a simple scene for these two to play in using distress inks and stencils. I created the soft clouds using the Heart Duo Stencil and white pigment ink. You can see them much clearer in real life but the picture gets the idea across ;) 


I wanted the white heat embossing to fit in with the soft hearts but without the drop shadow it was too soft. Like illegible haha. Adding in the drop shadow makes it easy to read without adding a bunch of darkness. 


I have a love/hate relationship with heat embossing. I love the way it looks but sometimes I hate how hard it is to get good results. You can hear my tips to getting good results in the video below. 
You get to hear my rambling thoughts too. 
You're welcome. 


Alright let's recap. 1. Make sure your background is dry as a bone. 2. Remove the static. 3. Ink, ink, ink it up. Make sure your inkpad isn't dry. 4. Double stamp it! 5. Pre-heat your gun. 6. Double Emboss if necessary. 7. Fill in any missed areas with a white gel pen for perfection! 


These stamps will be available in the Neat & Tangled Store tomorrow. 
Thank you guys so much for stopping by!
We are currently in a feast phase. I'll be back tomorrow :)
