Hello and welcome! I am Theresa McEntee, creator of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. Today I have the pleasure of participating in the Blog Hop with Around the World on Wednesday (AWOW) organized by Angie McKenzie. I hope you like my Lovely & Sweet Emboss Resist Technique card!
On the second Wednesday of each month, the AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. This month’s challenge is a Technique Challenge.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of”
My Project for today
This card was made using the Emboss Resist Technique. I love this technique because it turns out differently each time. I also love using embossing powder. It is so magical to see the emboss powder change when you heat it up!
The Lovely & Sweet stamp set is a set of sketched botanical images. I really liked the image of the almond plant so I used it for my Technique Challenge.
Instructions
Embossing
- Emboss the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. First use the Embossing Buddy to remove the static. Stamp the image in Versamark Ink.
- Sprinkle the White Emboss Powder over the ink and shake off the excess.
- Use a small paint brush to remove any embossing powder that is not supposed to be there.
- Use the Heat Tool to heat the emboss powder until it magically changes. Be sure that you have heated up all the areas.
- Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
The Emboss Resist Technique
- With a Stampin’ Spritzer spray the paper that is embossed until damp. Use a paper towel to pat off the excess water.
- Start with the lightest color. Using the Pool Party Ink Pad, apply ink to an E size Clear Block.
- Next apply Coastal Cabana Ink on the edges alsousing the ink pad.
- Finish by applying some Pretty Peacock Ink to parts of the edges. Use the corner of the ink pad to apply a little ink to the center.
- Use the Stampin’ Spritzer to spray the block until the ink begins to run together.
- Flip the block over and onto the embossed Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.
- Apply a little pressure by placing a punch on top.
- Leave alone for 10 to 15 minutes.
Assembling the Card
- Trim the edges and mount on a 3 5/8″ x 4 5/8″ Coastal Cabana cardstock.
- The card base is a 4 1/4 x 11″ Pretty Peacock cardstock with the front embossed using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder.
- Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the stamped card piece onto the front of the card base.
- Here is how I did the inside. I did not use a sentiment because I wanted to keep this as an all occasion note card.
- Add Bling! using the Iridescent Foil Gems.
Voila!
