Hi friends! Today I am going to share a useful trick: Embossing with markers!
This technique gives a fancy effect with minimal time and supplies! Gotta love that especially as the busy holiday season nears! Watch the video to see how!

Supplies:
Eden peg stamp set
Sunny Day unmounted stamp set (for basket)
Dye inks: Memento
Juicy water based marker
Clear embossing powder
Heat gun
Cardstock
Label dies
Directions:
1. Die cut labels from cardstock.
2. Stamp border using a variety of peg stamps and ink colors.
3. Write a name in the center with a wet water based marker and sprinkle with embossing powder, tap of excess powder and heat set.
4. Fold a strip of cardstock to make a stand and glue it to the back of the card.
Tip! If your markers dry to quickly you can draw over your lines with a clear embossing marker and add the powder to that. It is a great way to use Alcohol markers for color if that is what you have! You can make gift tags using this technique as well!
I love the idea of place cards. Using them makes everyone “special” who sits at your table. It shows that you thought of them when they are not around. Greatest compliment of all. And they can be used again and again. Great idea.

Lindsay, you gave me a great idea. I am going to use your stamped place card idea to make sets of personalized note cards for friends. I can mount the stamped die shape onto a card. Thanks to your Rubber Stamped Tapestry videos, I’ve ordered some stamp sets which are great and come super fast.

P.S. I didn’t know a juicy marker works with embossing powder.
