Merriest Trees with Embossed Glimmer
A few weeks ago, Stampin’ Up! CEO Sara Douglass shared a cool technique on her Facebook page: heat embossing on glimmer paper. I don’t have the products she used, but I wanted to try it. It’s just so fun, and, well, glittery! It really packs a wow!
Today, I share the card I created using Stampin’ Up!’s Merriest Trees Stamp Set, Merriest Trees Dies, and the Berry Burst, Old Olive, and White 12 x 12 Specialty Glimmer Paper. Find the Merriest Trees Stamp Set and coordinating dies in Stampin’ Up!’s 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.
Currently, Stampin’ Up! offers four different packages of glimmer paper. That gives you a whole slate of choices to try this technique yourself. And, you may have some glimmer paper in your stash.
