Well, this year for my Christmas cards I placed velveteen paper down on rubber stamp (rubber stamp is lying rubber facing up) and ironed it for 15 seconds on low-med. temperature. Then I used my Coluzzle and cut them out and mounted them on paper. I used burgandy and navy colors with On Angels Wings. They were really pretty.
I have stamped a Christmas tree in Versamark, then embossed with gold glitter, then cut out and mounted on patterened paper. You can emboss on veleveteen paper as you would any other paper. Linda Seaman
I have used velveteen paper in several ways. I lay a stamp rubber side up, mist the paper with water and place velveteen side down on the stamp. Gently iron for a few seconds with firm pressure and you will have a nice impression. I've used this for layering on cardstock to embellish a card to if a large stamp, the focal image.
I use this paper for the backs of my domino pieces. Trace around a domino on a piece of chipboard for a template. I adhere the paper with E6000 adhesive and this makes a very nice backing for necklaces or keychains.
I also use the paper to line paper mache boxes. And then of course, layers for cards.
I've found if you lightly spritz the velveteen paper and then do as described above (lay stamp rubber side up, lay paper velvet side down on stamp, iron gently on medium heat for about 15 seconds), the image transfers nicely. In the journal cover example in my Gallery I also inked the stamp first with purple ink and the image comes out slightly fuzzy as the ink bleeds with the spritzed water on the paper.

I do as the others have suggested, except that I do not use ink on the stamp. I heat til the image is well embossed into the nap of the paper, then I let cool, then color the image with Prismacolor pencils. You can shade with lighter colors over the darker colors, even use white as a shading tool. Then I use a glitter gel pen to go over the heat embossed outline of the image and that seems to make it pop. Hope you give this a try as it is an awesome look.
I am planning to cut it in strips and use in place of ribbon to wrap around some invitations --
like this link they have vellum with a ribbon, and I am planning to use a sheer vellum and then put the velveteen around and attach in center with a square of c/s with an embossed image on it. Maybe emboss the velveteen paper now that I have seen it here, but anyway, I think instead of velvet ribbon you could use it for something like that.
Great to use for holiday cards. There is a cute man's vest pattern on the SU demonstrator's pages. A friend cut the pattern out of red velveteen paper, put some stamped holly sprigs in the pocket and it came out great.
