    Such clever ideas Erin! I never thought to do my ink stamping and embossing in reverse order, but I see, it works out well. This is a very cute card, and one that would be fun for “kids” of all ages! Thanks for sharing!

    I definitely want to give this technique a try! I tend to choose not to heat emboss when it’s a small die cut with very little edge to get my tweezers to hold on to. Now I know how I can do it! Thanks so much for sharing!

    April 14, 2014 at 3:52 PM

    In my mind this is doing it backwards and it never would have occurred to me to even attempt embossing first and stamping after. It seems like the “bumpy” embossing would cause havoc with your second stamping. Thank you for leading me in a new direction – soooo much easier!

    your card is adorable. i love this make it monday. i have trouble lining up my stamps on a die cute & usually end up cutting them. this will work out perfectly. also, i have burned my fingers embossing a die cut & gave up on them. thank you for all the helpful hints.

    Using the negative is just genius-one of those things you just want to kick yourself because it is so obvious and you’d like to think your kinda smart. Kid noises in the background added to the charm.

    How clever of you to figure this out. Of course it’s the best way to work with smaller items. I don’t have a blog or web page so don’t post things, but did this and it worked beautifully.

    Cute card and great ideas BUT….several people asked not only here but on Erin’s blog what kind of glue and the tip she used when making her video….and MUM…is the answer.
