Can you heat emboss on wood? Sister making something and asked me -
My sister called me yesterday to ask me if you could heat emboss on wood. I was like um, not sure but I know you can stamp with acrylic paint if that helps and would be easier - she said great and was going to do the paint -
So can you - heat emboss on wood? I don't have any wood scraps around here handy to check (though I was eying the furniture around the house, seeing what I could do that wouldn't show, LOL) and figured someone would know -
If you have unfinished wood, you can color it with pigment inks, just like paint, let it dry or bake it then stamp and heat emboss. The wood takes longer than paper to get hot so be patient. An embossing buddy used first will make a big difference, too, as the texture traps stray powder bits.

Yes, it can be done. I'm using wooden stir sticks on my advent calendar. I used heat embossing on some of them: http://stampingmathilda.blogspot.com/search?q=advent
Don't know if it makes a difference, but I colored the wood with distress ink first.
I made a bunch of picture frames one year for Christmas presents with embossing on them...they turned out great! (If I do say so myself...) Use an embossing buddy first, and then keep an eye on the wood as you're heating so you don't scorch it or cause any finish to bubble.
This is a timely thread. I am thinking about doing a picture frame and stamped picture with my Stampin' Lunch Bunch in February. However, I want them to stamp directly onto the wood without painting it. How do I prep the wood for this type of decorating? I know if you don't do something the ink will bleed. Thanks!

Brilliance ink doesn't bleed on wood. I've used it quite often, it never bleeds.
Uh, it "shouldn't," lol? Theoretically, since Brilliance is a pigment ink, the SU markers won't cause it to bleed. Just not positive about whether it will or not on wood. Probably best just to test on scrap pieces.
