Ever wondered how to add gorgeous texture to your crafts? Stylish embossing is something you can achieve at home, with just a few crafty essentials!
Embossed designs are produced using your favorite stamps, plus a special ink, and special powder. Once the designs are stamped in the ink, the area is covered with embossing powder, which melts when heated to create a wonderfully embossed finish! It’s a great technique utilized by paper crafters everywhere.

Let’s look at the process:
Step 1:
Ink your stamp with embossing ink, then stamp onto cardstock. You can use embossing ink, or pigment stamping ink—both are slow-drying. I will be showing both - clear powder on black pigment ink & colored powder on clear embossing ink.
Step 2:
Place the stamped piece onto scrap paper. Immediately sprinkle embossing powder onto the image. You’ll want to work quickly, while the ink is still wet. You can be generous with the embossing powder!
Step 3:
Tap off the excess embossing powder. Return excess powder to the jar.
Step 4:
Use a heat tool to melt the embossing powder. Turn the embossing tool on, then warm it up for few seconds before using it on your project. Place the stamped piece onto a heat-resistant surface like wood, a glass mat or craft sheet, then move heat slowly over the embossed piece. You’ll see the powder melting and becoming raised and shiny. Take care not to overheat the piece.
Keep the jar of powder away from heat tool to avoid powder blowing everywhere!
