Cook22 sent me a tutorial link for faux heat embossing back in November, and I got around to trying it today.

Since tomorrow January 27th is National Chocolate Cake Day in the U.S., I decided to make a birthday card featuring chocolate cake.
I used the faux heat embossing technique using clear packing tape to make the sentiment shiny and the icing on the cake shiny. This is the same card - I included two photos because the one on the left is more accurate for what it looks like in real life, and I used the flash when I took the picture on the right to show the shiny effect. It still didn't pick up the icing on the cake which also has clear packing tape on it.
I like orange and turquoise as a color combination, which also works well for masculine cards. Here I started with lined orange patterned paper for the background, die cut with wonky stitching all the way around.
I stamped, colored, and die cut the mouse, his chef's hat, and the icing bag. I stamped and colored the cake, and then fussy cut with scissors (it has 3 layers and I only used the bottom layer). I stamped the icing a second time on turquoise cardstock, added the clear packing tape over top, and then ran this through my die cutting machine with no dies, just to have the extra pressure seal the tape down. Then I fussy cut the icing and added it onto the cake.
I added clear packing tape to turquoise cardstock and used a word die in my die cutting machine. I adhered this to the card and added the icing bag as if it had just finished spelling out the words. I added the mouse and cake to the card. I used a black gel pen to give the mouse shiny eyes. As a last minute thought, I added the icing from a cupcake die as a dollop of cream on top of the cake, since it looked very plain.
For the word die, I searched online and could not find which vendor I purchased this from, since I no longer have the original packaging. If anyone happens to recognize it, please let me know and I will update my supply list for this card. Thanks! |
