Heat emboss your EAP ! Have a beautiful day !

You must be familiar with them by now, but just in case for those who don't know, what are they? EAP is a paper pack containing pre-colored sheets, designed to coordinate perfectly with stamps and dies. They have been pre-colored for you with alcohol markers so you can create directly with them!

For today's card, I used the Crafty Meraki EAP - Whimsical Magnolias, Whimsical Magnolias Stamp Set, and Para-Dies. I could have used the EAP pre-colored images by themselves, but I decided I wanted to add some shine, so I embossed them.

So first, I placed my sheet from the Crafty Meraki EAP - Whimsical Magnolias on my stamping platform.

Then, I placed my stamp from the Whimsical Magnolias Stamp Set on top of it. I aligned them. Small tip: check your alignment with the sentiments. I stamped my images with a watermark inkpad. I added gold embossing powder and embossed them with my heat gun.

I used the coordinate Para-Dies to cut them! Ta-daaa ! You now have beautiful embossed flowers ready to use !

After that, I cut two 5.5" x 2 5/8"rectangles: one onto white cardstock and one onto vellum. I inked the white one with pink ink, splattered some ink and water on it. I cut three circles on my panel.

I stamped my sentiment from the Crafty Meraki Paper Hugs Stamp set onto my piece of vellum with a watermark ink pad, and I embossed it with gold embossing powder. I glued my vellum panel behind my pink one.
