    These are just some of the creations you can make using a combination of embossing and rubber-stamping techniques.

    Mary Lyon, host of DIY's Crafts, shows how to make jewelry using workable embossing enamels and rubber stamps.

    Materials:

    Workable embossing enamels (this segment used Suze Weinberg's Boxed Bunch Ultra-Thick Embossing Enamels)
    Rubber stamps
    Cardboard shapes
    Heating tool
    Jewelry findings

    1. Paint the cardboard shapes with the embossing ink in your choice of base color.

    2. Sprinkle embossing powder over the base coat.

    3. Heat the embossing powder with the heating tool until smooth. You can then add other colors as desired and reheat to blend.

    4. While the surface is still pliable, apply the rubber stamp to create a textured design.

    5. When the surface has set, attach jewelry findings.
