Heat Embossing 101

December 18, 2019 by Heather Holbrook

Heat Embossing 101

If you’re new to stamping and card making or just never learned about Heat Embossing then you’re going to love the Ellen Hutson Essential Guide to Heat Embossing. Heat embossing uses a pigment based ink pads (which are slow drying) to stamp with, then you pour on embossing powder, tap off the excess and melt the powder with a heat tool and you’re left with a wonderful raised, shiny image. It’s a very simple but very effective technique.

Delve deeper into heat embossing over on the Ellen Hutson blog.

    Totally new and feel like I over heat the powder, is it suppose to get shiny?

    Yes, it gets shiny, as soon as you see it turn from powdery looking to shiny take the heat away, it’s done.
