I am working on next weeks newsletter and decided to take some pictures for stamping on Velvet. It's always easier to understand new techniques with visual help.
I used Velveteen paper in my sample. I bought it at Hobby lobby. I was scared holding a hot iron over my stamp for 20 seconds. Especially since I can't order another one until next month and I am in love with this new background stamp. But it didn't hurt it.
Supplies:
Velvet or velveteen Paper (I used Velveteen paper bought at Hobby Lobby)
Iron
Solid or brushstroke stamp image (I used French Flair)
Step one:
Set your iron on medium heat with no steam.
Step two:
Lay your stamp down, rubber facing up.
Step three:
Lay your velveteen paper or velvet fabric on top of the stamp, velvet side facing the rubber of the stamp.
Step four:
Press your hot iron down for 10 - 20 seconds. Lift up carefully so you don't move the fabric/paper.
Finish your project.
