Stamping on Velvet with an Iron (Surprisingly Easy)

Stamping on velvet (also called embossed velvet) is a beautiful fabric technique that uses heat to create a soft, permanent design right in the fibres of the fabric. In today’s video, I’m sharing the method that worked best for me using supplies I already had on hand – including different types of stamps, several inks, and a household iron. You’ll see: ➡️what type of velvet works best ➡️whether you need ink (or not) ➡️what iron setting to use ➡️how long to apply heat ➡️and a few variations I tested along the way I also experimented with StazOn, Memento, Stampin’ Up! Classic dye inks, Versamark, and white craft ink – and they all worked. If you’re curious about trying this technique yourself, it’s much simpler than it looks and very forgiving. ✨ I’ll be sharing how I turn these stamped velvet pieces into small projects like cards, journals, and bookmarks in the next video. 📝 Full details, tips, and answers to common questions are on my blog here: 👉https://serenestamper.com/stamping-or...
