The EMBOSS RESIST TECHNIQUE leaves such a stunning impression. In today’s TEACH ME THAT, I am going to show you step-by-step how it’s done.
Notice how the white embossed image ‘resisted’ the ink? Very pretty!
I love this technique and the new glossy cardstock makes is really shine! Are you ready to learn how? Here we go!
EMBOSS RESIST TECHNIQUE
- This technique is designed to leave the stamped image white while adding color to the background. The stamped image will “resist” the ink (thus the name).
- Emboss Resist works best on Glossy White Cardstock because of the shine but you can also create it with Whisper White cardstock as well.
- Give your cardstock a nice rub down with your Embossing Buddy.
- Stamp your image in VersaMark ink and quickly sprinkle with white embossing powder.
- Tap off the excess embossing powder and heat set this image.
- Because of the glossy cardstock and the quick drying time, you will have better results if you heat emboss right away rather than do all the stamping and emboss at the end.
- Heat set your image with a heat gun until the embossing powder has all melted.
- Repeat the stamping…
- …embossing powder and the heat tool.
- Now that your cardstock is embossed, it’s time for some magic. Using a sponge dauber and your favorite color ink (I’m using Lemon Lime Twist), start by swirling the ink VERY lightly on your cardstock and over the embossed image.
- Press harder on the sponge dauber to achieve a deeper color but always start softly. Remember, you can always add more ink but you can’t take it away. Start softly and gently.
- With a paper towel or tissue, gently buff the glossy cardstock and embossed image to a shine.
Now you’re ready to create a card using the technique? Here are the measurements for my card but get creative with your project:
- Basic Black – 8 ½” x 5 ½”, score and fold at 4 ¼”
- Glossy White – 5” x 3 ¾”
- White Cardstock (inside) – 4” x 5 ¼
- Lemon Lime Twist – 4” x 5 ¼”

I left this comment for you before. I have a notebook containing a copy of each of my Stampin’Up! stamp set covers in alphabetical order. I add a “D” for dies and/or a “P” for punch where appropriate. When I’m looking for a particular stamp such as “congrats” or “congratulations”, I can easily thumb through the stamp sets and find just what I like for a particular project. This is much quicker than looking at the narrow sides of all my plastic stamp set holders. Besides, my eyes aren’t as young as they used to be. I find this notebook so very helpful!
