NYC layout Click image to enlarge Designer: Kelly Purkey http://kellypurkey.typepad.com I love that heat embossing is back in style again... it was one of the first techniques I tried when I started scrapbooking and cardmaking. The Fiskars stamps are perfect tools to use with embossing powders. You can get so much use out of just one set of stamps. For my layout I wanted to really make good use of the giant Fiskars background stamp and used it as a solid block on my page. I also cut out a few other stamped images to help embellish my page and stamped directly onto the layout then embossed. The Fiskars stamps combined with metallic embossing powder really make a layout shine! Difficulty rating
