MAKE IT EASY

An image imprinted in Liquid Glass Melded Metallic (Embossing Powder Candy Store) with a Clearsnap Molding Mat was adhered to mat board that had been embossed with a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. The mat board was layered on silver card stock. A small imprint was adhered to the lower left corner of the card front.

To oven emboss:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 275 degrees. Ink all areas of the Molding sheet with Clearsnap Dragonfly Black ColorBox Pigment Ink. Cut a sheet of Graffix Double Tack 1" wider and 1" longer than a Clearsnap Molding Mat. Cover a cookie sheet (one limited to crafting) with cooking parchment paper. Have a twist-off bottle cap handy. Place a hot pad on the kitchen counter.


2. Remove the white liner from one side of the Double Tack. Place the Double Tack on the cookie sheet, adhesive side up. Use a small spoon to place an even layer of Liquid Glass Melded Metallic over the adhesive side of the Double Tack; the layer of Liquid Glass should be about 1/8" deep and 1/2" from each edge. Taking care to avoid spilling any Liquid Glass in the oven, place the cookie sheet in the oven.


3. As soon as the powder has melted (between five to ten minutes), remove the cookie sheet from the oven (be cautious, it'll be hot) and place it on the hot pad. Immediately place the Molding Mat, inked side down, on the melted powder. Use the bottle cap to burnish the back of the mat, pushing it into the melted powder. Allow the powder to cool. Lift the Molding Mat from the powder.


4. Cut apart the imprinted images. To use: remove the release paper from the back of a cut imprint; position the imprint on a sturdy substrate (mat board, chipboard, wood, etc.); push slightly to secure the bond.
