Faux Embossing Technique

[@edithshaw2473]

This. Is a fun technique for inks use. I have a stamp a majig but did not know to use the clear placement sheet. I put the stamp a majig down next to the block when I stamped the first time & tried to hold it and the paper while I reinked the stamp. Very difficult to keep all lined up. This is so much easier to keep the stampamajig in place on the project paper as you stamp repeatedly when using ombre coloring or creating a shadow effect or if the ink does not color completely the 1st stamp or you want to restart to make the color deeper.

[@terristephens9820]

WOW! Truly a beautiful card, and I love the technique. Thank you so much for showing how to use all the fantastic tools, too.

[@msdeedee1808]

Unbelievable! This technique is crazy awesome. I love the sound of your voice; it's soothing and draws you right into the lesson. Gotta try this.TFS!

[@KeenanKreations]

Thank you Dee! I need to repeat this technique again with some newer stamps :-)

[@Britgirl58]

I've been a subscriber of yours for some time, and I love your clear and concise videos. But somehow I have missed this one before today. I love this technique! I need to make a birthday card for my hubby rather quickly, and I think, with a less feminine stamp, this will be perfect. Thank you for sharing - Julie

[@KeenanKreations]

Thank you Julie! It is a fun technique - I need to try again with some other bold image stamps :-)

[@KeenanKreations]

I think as long as you use a White Pigment ink (I have not tried the White Stazon ink) and a water-based ink the same color as your cardstock, you'll be fine :-) Thanks for subscribing too!

[@KeenanKreations]

Thank you - it's one of my favorite techniques :-) Customers still have to touch it because it really does look like it's embossed!

[@KeenanKreations]

Thanks Valerie! Hope you are happy with the results when you give it a try :-)

[@monstermama57]

Fantastic tutorial! I always forget about my handy Stampamajig (sp?)....beautiful card. Thank you for taking the time to show us how to do this...your instructions were very clear and easy to follow (not always the case with these things). And I agree with Dee, you have such a lovely voice, I could listen for hours!

[@KeenanKreations]

Thank you Lesley :-) I try to use the stamp-a-majig at my classes so my customers will get used to it but often times I forget!

[@KeenanKreations]

Thanks Celeste! It's fun to do with our bold image stamps :-)

Lovely card and technique! Thank you for this tutorial.

[@KeenanKreations]

Thanks Hazel but I didn't come up with this technique. I actually don't remember where I saw it, maybe online or at a Stampin' Up! convention? I'm trying to post more videos of techniques I've taught at classes so my customers have something to refer back to :-)

[@craftygran101]

Just remembered what I was going to ask you about your video......noticed you used a silhouette stamp, does the faux technique only work with that style of stamp? Thanks once again for your work.

[@KraftyChiccg]

Great video! Love the look...it's almost an antique type look! TFS!

[@rebeccabrown3898]

Love this technique but, where did you get the butterfly stamp???? It is not included in the "Just Believe" stamp set. I've visited your blog and you don't mention it at all. On this video you say that you faux embossed the butterfly as well. HELP?!

[@KeenanKreations]

+Rebecca Brown Sorry about that! The butterfly is from the Papillon Potpourri set #123759 $15 for the clear-mount and #132058 $19 for the wood-mount set.

[@charsbabushka]

This is a great technique. Thank you.

[@ehodge54]

Hi Keenan, did you stamp the image on vellum paper?

[@KeenanKreations]

Hi Liz! No vellum. I stamp the image directly on the cardstock, once in White Craft ink and once in Baked Brown Sugar. Just slightly offset to give the Faux Embossing look. Hope that helps!

[@ehodge54]

Keenan Kreations Hi Keenan! I just watched the video again & you state that it was a plastic imaging sheet. I never heard of this. Where do you buy it?

[@KeenanKreations]

Liz Hodge Oh! I'm so sorry Liz, I didn't realize that's what you were referring to. The plastic imaging sheet comes with the Stamp-a-majig and makes it possible to line up the 2nd stamping in exactly the right spot. I use the Stamp-a-majig from Stampin' Up! since I'm a demonstrator but I think you can find it in some of the retail craft stores. Do you have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator? Also, you could use a thicker Vellum (like cardstock Vellum) in place of the imaging sheet but you would still need the actual Stamp-a-majig.

[@ehodge54]

Keenan Kreations Hi Keenan, I guess I should have explained it better. My bad, as the kids say! I too am a SU demo, since October. I'm mostly a hobbyist. It's amazing how creative you ladies are! Thanks, Liz

[@KeenanKreations]

Congratulations on becoming a demonstrator! I started out as a hobby demo almost 13 years ago - STILL love this stuff! The Stamp-a-majig is on page 197 in the current catalog and I think pg 235 in the new one :-)
