Technique Tuesday – Tear N’ Tape Embossing
Sometimes the simplest techniques make me happy. I just love this one. Heat embossing is one of those wow techniques that every stamper loves to do, but oftentimes doesn’t take the time for. It’s not that the technique is difficult or even new. For gosh sakes, I remember heat embossing in a workshop as a guest before I had kids.
I taught my stampers the Tear N’ Tape embossing technique last week. Tear N’ Tape is a great tool for securing 3D projects, and now I think I will have to buy even more rolls of it.
Supplies
- Tear N’ Tape
- Embossing Buddy
- Embossing Powder
- Heat Gun
- Card Stock
- Stamps/Ink
For this card, I used the Fresh Fruit stamp set and embossed the pear the traditional way. Colors include Old Olive, Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla. The stamp set is a two-step style, but I also sponged over the edges of the embossed image.
For the embossed stripe, here are the instructions:
- Rub card stock with Embossing Buddy.
- Tear off a piece of Tear & Tape. Take off protective layer
- Dump embossing powder all over strip of tape. Tap off excess.
- Heat until set.
