A project from our live show THE FRIDAY FINAL CUT - Broadcast 6th November 2026 · 06/11/2026
Create a striking boat card on black cardstock with white pigment ink stamping and clear embossing for a sophisticated, high-contrast finish. The embossed detail creates a glass-like dimensional shimmer that makes the nautical design truly stand out. This elegant technique transforms a simple stamp into a dramatic, contemporary greeting card.
1Cut a piece of black cardstock to your desired card size.
2Ink up the solid portion of the boat stamp using white pigment ink, ensuring even coverage across the entire stamping surface.
3Stamp the inked solid portion of the boat image onto the black cardstock, positioning it in the centre of the panel.
4Reload the stamp with white pigment ink and stamp a second time directly over the first impression to build up the white colour and create a more opaque finish.
5Sprinkle clear gloss embossing powder over the wet white ink on the boat image. Ensure the powder covers all the stamped areas completely.
6Heat-set the white embossing powder using a heat gun, moving it over the surface until the powder melts and becomes shiny and glass-like.
7Once the embossed image has cooled, you can optionally add white details such as a moon or additional highlights to complement the embossed boat design on your black cardstock.
