Have you ever tried stamping on Vellum cardstock? Vellum can be a bit tricky to work with, but it is so worth it. All you need is a good understanding of the best way to work with Vellum.
The first thing to remember when stamping on Vellum is, it’s a non-porous surface. This means the ink will sit on top of the cardstock versus allowing air to move through it, which takes much longer to dry.
You can speed up the drying process:
- Heat Emboss the image (I prefer clear embossing powder) which actually acts as a way to seal the ink onto the surface.
- You can use a Heat Tool. You have to watch adding heat to Vellum as it tends to curls up once heat is applied, making it a bit more difficult to adhere in place.
My preferred method of drying stamped images on Vellum is to simply give it time to airdry. This does take some patience. Once the stamped image is no longer shiny, you know it is dry and is safe to handle without the ink smearing.
I shared all these great tips and more in my Tuesday Facebook LIVE. Did you know I am doing some LIVE papercrafting every Tuesday at 12:30PM EST in my CreativeLee Yours Studio Facebook group? Jump on over and join the Facebook group now. Looking forward to seeing you and your crafty friends Tuesday for our next LIVE papercrafting!
Today’s project features the Crane of Fortune Distinktive stamp set (#157654) that will be available starting January 4, 2022 as part of our January-June 2022 Mini catalog. You can even bundle this stamp set with the Good Fortune Dies (#157663) and save 10%! I just love all the details in our Distinktive. These stamps create various opacities within a single stamped image. Love it!
I created this stunning card for a January-June 2022 Mini Catalog card swap. The opportunity to get our hands on new products early and to participate in organized swaps is just a couple of the many awesome aspects of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator that I love. When the package arrives in the mail, I tear into it right away. It’s truly is so much fun to see all the wonderful creations.
