Designer's Tip:This is a great way to use up excess Embossing Glitter that you have collected and not returned to the jars. Clean the stencil and squeegee immediately after use or place in a basin of water until you can finish your embossing.

Instructions:

  1. Card front: Use stencil tape to secure the Rounded Template to black cardstock and use the Mini Squeegee to apply Black Embossing Paste over the circles on the stencil.
  2. While the embossing paste is still wet, remove the template and sprinkle each of the 3 Zing! Glitter Embossing Powders over the wet paste circles one at a time, tapping off the excess glitter after each application. Heat the embossing glitter until the circles become slightly puffy but not to the point of bubbling.
  3. After the embossed circles are cooled, glue the embossed black cardstock over the blank card, with the fold at the side, leaving 1 3/8” of blank cardstock at the bottom of the card for a greeting. Stamp and Copper Glitter emboss Birthday Greetings “For Someone Special” on the bottom left as shown. Glue a 1/4” wide length of white Metallic ribbon horizontally across the card as shown. Use the ribbon to make a bow and Zot to the right side of the ribbon border.
  4. Inside: Place the Rounded Template over 5”x 1 3/4” black cardstock and apply Black Embossing Paste. Sprinkle with the 3 embossing glitters as before and heat with gun. Glue border across the card, 1/2” from the bottom edge. Stamp and emboss Birthday Greetings “happy Birthday to you” and emboss with all 3 embossing glitters as shown.
