Handmade 3-D Embellishment Tutorial

When I decided to make a Christmas ornament tutorial (you can find it here) I thought I would make my own 3-D embellishment.  This is an easy embellishment that can be used for ornaments, tags, cards, or even gifts.  And you don't even need special glasses!

Supplies:

• Paper of choice.  I used plain white, but you could use any patterned paper, glimmer paper, or specialty paper you like.
• Stamp set.  I'm using Mark's Finest Papers Poinsettia Blooms.
• Versamark Watermark Ink.
• Embossing powder.  I used Stampin' Up! Silver.
• Anti-static pad.  I'm using an Embossing Buddy from Stampin' Up!
• Coffee filter to catch your extra embossing powder.
• Heat tool.
• Foam Squares.
• Glitter pen.
• Scissors.

Step 1:

Rub your paper with the anti-static pad, then stamp your image several times with Versamark ink.  I stamped 3 images, you can do as many as you like.

Step 2:

Add embossing powder and tap off the excess into a coffee filter.  I know many people use scrap paper or a plastic embossing tray, but I find powder sticks to embossing trays, and I would rather use my scrap paper for projects.  Also I find that coffee filters contain the powder better are easier to direct the excess powder back into the jar.  

Step 3:

Heat emboss your images.

Step 4:

Fussy cut your images making each one smaller than the last.  

Step 5:

Add foam tape to the back of each image.

Step 6:

Add glitter pen to the smallest image.

Step 7:

Layer your images making sure they line up before adhering.

You're finished!
