Heat embossing

Hot embossing - not to be confused with dry embossing, which is done with a stylus - is a technique that puts letters or designs into relief. It enriches any stamping technique and gives a brilliant effect to the design.

Supplies

Tools

Paint burner
(or a heat gun, a tool specific to hot embossing)
Stamp

Materials

Slow-drying ink
Stamp
Clear or colored embossing powder
Paper of your choice
Scrap paper

Directions

Design the area for embossing

Apply the ink to the stamp.

Stamp the paper.

Add embossing powder

Sprinkle embossing powder onto the stamped design.
NB: The inked design should be completely covered.

Pour the excess powder onto scrap paper. Fold the scrap paper like a funnel and pour the leftover powder back into the original container.

Heat the powder with the paint burner by placing it about 15 cm (6 inches) above the paper.
NB: Keep the paint burner away from children.

When the powder has melted and the design is shiny, stop heating it.

Tips

To heat the powder, you can also use a toaster by placing the paper on it.

!: Never put it in.

When you use a hot air gun, put the paper on a woodenboard to protect your place of work from heat!
