Heat Embossing

Hi and welcome to my Blog I'm very excited sharing and helping you with your card making, memorie keeeping and paper craft.

Stamp your image with ink that stays wet long enough for you to add embossing powder and heat it. I prefer the Versa Mark Pad you can use any pigment inks that you have.
After you’ve stamped your image, cover the entire image with emboss powder. Gently tap off any excess powder.
Control the “mess”: Store your embossing powder in a flat, square container and use a spoon to apply it.
You may want to “pre-heat” your heat tool. Then gently wave your heat tool across your image until all the powder has melted into a shiny image.
If your paper starts to warp and curl, alternate heating it from the top and bottom.

Tips for Using Embossing Folders:

Embossing Folders can be used in many different machines and all machines are different. As you play around with building different “sandwiches” you may want to note what works best for your machine.
If your folder pattern is barely visible after running it through your machine, you’ll want to add more layers. Try an extra sheet of card stock on top or a shim if you have one. Want a deeper design? Add more layers of card stock on top of your sandwich!
Your “sandwich” should be tight running through your machine, but don’t force it! If it seems like it doesn’t want to go through, make your sandwich thinner. You don’t want to break anything!!
If your card stock “cracks” after using an embossing folder, try spritzing your paper with water first. This breaks up the fibers of the paper and will give you better embossing.
