Scherenschnitte (Scissor Cut) Stamping

Recreate the famous Scherenschnitte silhouette technique using rubberstamping supplies.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Stamp your desired image with Versamark™ ink on to a scrap sheet of black cardstock.

   

2. Step 2

   Sprinkle clear embossing powder over image.

   

3. Step 3

   Tap off excess embossing powder and heat set with your embossing tool.

   

4. Step 4

   Remove extra cardstock so you have only your embossed image. Cut out your image.
   
   Hint:
   For detailed areas (like the legs of this fawn), trim the inner most cardstock first before removing the outer area. This will allow extra support for holding your image while trimming.

   

5. Step 5

   Apply glue to the ‘glossy’ side of your heat-embossed image (the embossed side will be faced down on your card front).

   

6. Step 6

   Adhere image to a neutral colored card front.

   

7. Step 7

   Finish your card front by adding more stamped, punched or die cut images if neccessary.
