One of the things I hear most often on social media and in my in-person classes is a frustration over not feeling successful when heat embossing at home (or in class). I’ve found that there is almost always a simple solution to the problem, usually a little tweak with the method.
For today’s project, I love this bright and happy chalkboard technique with the Paper Florist dies. I chose bright colors against the old black and white chalkboard for maximum contrast.
In the video below, I’ll show you how to get a clear, crisp heat embossed image, like the words in this case.
Please note I took it one step further and added some Whisper White Ink over the top to create the old chalkboard effect. This is, of course, totally optional.
And then I wanted to try a more festive version with Cherry Cobbler, Pool Party, and Mossy Meadow. I love this very non-traditional effect with the chalkboard!
I’m thinking this would be a fabulous Christmas card for a teacher.
