Hot Potatoes rubber stamp: Carrot
Q106
Marvy Markers in Orange and Light
Green
yard of White
velvet
yard of tulle-orange was used for
this project
Steam-A-Seam2
double-stick iron-on fusible web
Protective paper from the Steam-A-Seam2
fusible web
Manicure scissors
Scissors
Iron (no steam)
Misting bottle with tap water
Instructions:
1. Use a piece of newspaper to create
a pattern. Lay the paper on your
table and cut a circle or an oval
in the size that you want. Cut the
pattern out of the tulle.
2. Use the orange Marvy Marker*and
color the main part of the carrot.
Use the green Marvy Marker and color
the carrot top.
3. Emboss the white velvet with
the carrot image. Be sure to use
the Steam-A-Seam as you emboss.
This is critical. To do this process,
you will lay the colored stamp with
the image side up on your work surface.
Place the white velvet right side
down on top of the stamp. Now, place
the Steam-A-Seam on top of the velvet.
Be sure that you have removed one
layer of paper from Steam-A-Seam
and keep it for use later. It is
also very important that one sheet
of paper with Steam-A-Seam is left
on top of all layers to keep any
material from melting to the iron.
4. With the iron set on cotton carefully
place the iron on the entire stack
where your stamp is and hold for
about 10-15 seconds. Lift and turn
over to examine your velvet that
should have a lovely embossed image
of a carrot!
5. Continue until you have enough
carrots for your entire centerpiece.
You will need to reapply the color
to the carrot stamp before each
stamp impression.
6. It is very important that you
DO NOT mist the velvet when you
are using Marvy Markers to color
the stamps. These markers are very
moist and take the place of the
misting step. Misting the velvet
will make the image run.
7. Cut out all the images and peel
off the paper backing.
8. Lay the images face down on a
protected work surface. Lay the
tulle on top of the images and arrange
to the pattern you want.
9. Trim the tulle closely along
the bottom of each image to finish
off your liner.
10. Lay the saved piece of paper
over a small area and iron for about
5 seconds to permanently attach
the embossed velvet to the tulle.
11. Your centerpiece is ready for
an Easter feast!*
*Marvy
Markers are available online and
in most craft stores. These are
the only markers that I know of
that are moist enough for this
process.
*This centerpiece will run if
it gets wet! But it will hold
up to dry cleaning. Go figure!

the instructions. All you have to
do is print out this picture and
recreate or come up with designs
of your own!
To achieve the solid areas, the
ink pad was used like a paint brush
and swiped across the paper. Then
the same color can be stamped on
top for "color on color".
The smallest box has a daisy cut
