If you’re looking for a card-making technique that’s both simple and stunning, emboss resist is one you’re going to adore! This classic method delivers a beautiful effect every single time — and once you try it, you’ll find yourself reaching for it again and again.

The process is pure magic. After heat embossing your stamped images, you’ll add color over the top using blending brushes or sponges. The embossed areas “resist” the ink, revealing your design in a soft, artistic way. Every card turns out a little different, which makes each one completely unique — and totally charming!

This card was created using a quick and easy sketch that works for any occasion — simply swap out colors and images to suit your style. The free project sheet linked below includes all the panel measurements you’ll need to recreate this card using supplies from your own craft stash.

Once your panels are ready, layer them onto your card base, add a sentiment, and sprinkle on a few embellishments. Whether you go bold and bright or soft and subtle, you’ll have a card that’s impossible not to love.

Emboss resist is one of those techniques that’s fun, easy, and endlessly satisfying. If you haven’t tried it yet, now’s the perfect time — and I promise, your cards will thank you!
