Embossing up a storm

Our travel themed programs are by far the wedding detail I am most excited about! I knew that embossing these bad boys would take some time, so I decided to do them ahead of schedule since I had some free weekend time.

Let's take a quick photo tour of my embossing good time, shall we? (all personal pictures)

First off the set up, I figured out that I had enough embossing powder to do 3 passport covers at a time.

A little commentary on my set up


After much trial and error, I determined that I had to use 2 different powders. One more sparkly for the top half, and a different one for the text on the bottom so that it is readable.



Here's a shot halfway through the heating process where you can see it turning from powder to awesomeness.



The green cardstock and gold powder was a lot darker prior to heating.



Here's my little helper Gypsy, doing what she does best!



120 covers later, and I'm all done!



A close up of the blue/silver cover...



And here's the green/gold cover.



I love love love these! Once we nail down the order of the ceremony with our pastor (closer to the wedding), I'll print out the inside text and complete these.
