Hello and welcome to Simon Says Stamp “Winter Twinkle” December Card Kit Blog Hop! Sorry I have been a bit MIA in the past few days, I have been traveling to USA and got back last week. I’m still getting used to the current time zone and catching up on all the work. Its crazy!

I’m happy to join to blog hop dedicated to the December card kit from Simon which focuses on heat embossing! How fun is that? I remember the feeling I had when I melted embossing powder for the first time – felt like pure magic! I even took the heat embossing supplies to my mother’s home and showed her how its done! I was and still am very much excited about embossing, so much you can do with it! So many cool techniques!

I think I usually use heat embossing for backgrounds for my cards (especially for the resist technique), but I also love to heat emboss sentiments. That cool raised surface creates such a wow factor! Here are a few more cards of mine with embossing:

  1. Both of your creations are very striking! Love your neat and shiny vellum ornament and how you attached the string with beautiful border. I impressed with your color choice on first one, gorgeous poinsettia and love the stitching on the flags with great texture! Thanks for sharing the video!

  2. Really lovely cards, Yana. Embossing is perfect for any time of the year, but it adds a little extra special sparkle for the holiday season. Thanks for sharing your creativity and expertise.

  3. GORGEOUS cards Yana – SO MUCH STUNNING heat embossing – WOW!!!
    THANK YOU for sharing your cards and tutorial too – it was EXCITING to watch you create them, I have a LOT to learn about heat embossing and really like your clever way of adding the twine bow to the ornament too!!!
