This adorable Happy Easter card was the hit at my Stamping Club Class last month. The images are from Stampin' Up!'s Everybunny stamp set and feature a fun and glittery heat embossed technique called, Faux Diamond Dust! It's perfect for this card as it gives it a decorated Easter egg look…super cute!
Faux Diamond Dust Technique (watch demonstration video below)
- Stamp image with Stazon Jet Black on piece of Very Vanilla
- Color image with Blender Pen and Ink Pads. Let dry – just a minute or two
- Cut with oval framelit with the Big Shot
- Wipe Versamark ink over the entire stamped/colored oval shape
- Cover with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder
- Flick off excess powder
- Heat until melted with Heat Tool (don't overheat, as the melted powder will melt too far into the paper and you'll lose the glittery effect)
How cute it this darling little bunny? Get out your heat tools and watch my How'd She DO That video below…

I loved the Easter card with the glitter, I want to thank you for sharing. I am wondering why you cover the clipboard with aluminum foil?
What a great technique and the clipboard tip is an added bonus. Your card is beautiful!
Anita – it might be an old wives tale, but I think it helps conduct the heat and melts faster.
Great tutorial video on the diamond dust. Thanks for the idea. Edna
