Did you know you can emboss on Glimmer Paper? Heat embossing on Glimmer paper probably wouldn’t give as great a result a few years ago. However, Stampin’ Up’s current smoother Glimmer paper works like a charm. I chose a bold stamp set, Beautiful Butterflies…the less detail and more bold, the better. These three stamp bundles work great together: Spring Corners, Memorable Blooms, and Beautiful Butterflies.

Also, I made a short video. If you watch, please leave me a comment…thanks!

I featured this technique for my Stamp Clubs this month. So, I printed notes, made a small sample, and added it to my Technique Journal. Here’s the Technique Journal page. My QR code for the video goes on the little black square.

When you cut the Pastel Ombre Glimmer Paper, you have to be careful to choose the color range you want. I wanted the Coastal Cabana and the Lemon Lime Twist sides. The color slowly changes to Balmy Blue across the blues one, and Lemon Lolly across the light green one.

Colors: Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime Twist, Basic White, Basic Black

Supplies / Tools:

Heat emboss on Glimmer Paper and let me know how it goes. I plan to make some additional cards or scrapbook pages with some other colors of Glimmer Paper…I think I’ve bought every package of Glimmer Paper they’ve made!

Happy Stampin’
