Step by step

1. Cut two pieces of cardstock in different colours (pink and white) to exactly the same size. ▶ watch 24:30
2. Use an anti-static bag to prepare the first card, then ink the floral stamp with clear sticky ink pad and stamp onto the white cardstock. ▶ watch 24:45
3. Sprinkle rose gold embossing powder over the stamped image, covering it completely. ▶ watch 25:00
4. Heat set the embossing powder with a heat gun, holding it at a distance and moving it quickly to avoid warping the card. ▶ watch 25:15
5. Repeat the stamping, embossing powder application, and heat setting process on the pink cardstock in exactly the same position. ▶ watch 25:30
6. Using a guillotine trimmer, cut both embossed cards diagonally from corner to corner. ▶ watch 28:45
7. Reassemble the pieces by placing the white triangle onto the pink triangle, matching the embossed design perfectly so the image lines up. ▶ watch 29:00
8. Mount the split card onto a black card base to make the embossed design pop. ▶ watch 29:15
9. Stamp a sentiment down the side of the card using black ink and the Eureka stamping platform to keep it perfectly aligned. ▶ watch 31:30

Tips from the show

• The two pieces of cardstock must be exactly the same size and you must not move the stamp between stamping the first and second card.
• Tone-on-tone embossing creates an elegant, subtle effect even though you cannot see the design clearly before heat setting.
• You can cut the embossed cards multiple times and reassemble different combinations to create several cards from one technique.
