A project from our live show CREATE TOGETHER CLUB - Show 2 - Join Toni - Broadcast 29th March 22 · 03/29/2022 · watch it from 13:15

Create a striking card by heat-embossing a floral stamp in white onto multiple coloured cardstock pieces, then cutting them into strips and layering them to create a rainbow effect. The repeated pattern aligns perfectly to create a continuous design across the card front.

Tips from the show

• Keep all your cardstock pieces exactly the same size so the stamped image aligns perfectly when layered.
• Use an anti-static bag to get a crisp, clean embossed image.
• Don't move your stamp between stamping each colour piece—this ensures the pattern repeats in exactly the same position.
