WARNING! The cutting mat she used is very sensitive to heat...even touching the side of the iron will distort the mat. Better to place a piece of graph paper on a wooden board, place the stamps on the graph paper, then press with the iron.
BTW...I've used every type of stamp for thermal impressing velvet, in addition to several other dimensional items.
Here's two projects on my blog. One uses a Clearsnap Style Stone, the other uses a Wilton plastic cake decoration stamp. The trick is to cover the back of the velvet with a Teflon Pressing sheet. Works every time!
Where do you find Rayon-Acetate velvet? I looked at Joann's and didn't find any with those 2 fibers...
It's in the fancy fabrics section in the fabric department. The bolts are on hangers. You don't have to buy a yard, or even a half yard; think you can get as little as a 1/4 yard (9" wide) piece. Also check the remant bin...sometimes (not often) there're be some velvet there.
I can find lots of velvet, but I thought it needed to be made from an acetate-rayon blend, and it seems I find either 100% cotton velvet, or other blends, but not acetate-rayon.

I've used cotton velveteen...but you get a better impression with the acetate/rayon blend. Just don't use polyester blends.
