Embossed Embossing

by Beverly Gerard

Learn how to heat emboss dry embossed layers for a unique background.

Supplies

Cardstock
Die cutting machine
Embossing folder
Versamark™, or other embossing ink
Embossing powder
Anti-static puff
Powder tray, or paper to retrieve embossing powder
Brayer
Heat gun
Stamps, cardstock, embellishments to complete your project

Step-by-Step

Step 1

Place cardstock inside the embossing folder and emboss with a die cutting machine per manufacturer instructions.
Step 2

Apply the anti-static powder over the entire dry embossed cardstock. This step makes a significant difference in the finished product.
Step 3

Ink up the brayer with clear embossing ink. Using gentle pressure, carefully roll the ink onto the raised surfaces of the cardstock. Your goal is to apply ink only to these raised areas. Reink the brayer as necessary during ink application.
Step 4

Sprinkle embossing powder onto the entire inked surface - clear embossing powder used here. Tap off all excess powder before applying heat.
Step 5

Gently heat the embossing powder, being sure to keep the heat tool moving during this process. Do not overheat the powder.
Step 6

Trim or die cut the embossed piece to the size needed for your creation.
Complete your project.

Craftyvron, I copy and past the tutorials into a word document and then manipulate, delete, rearrange, resize, etc. until I have it on the fewest pages as possible. Then I print and put it in a sheet protector in my notebook.

Hi Bev~

Thank you so much for doing this tutorial. Just today, I was looking through an old magazine that showed a card that must have had this technique on it...and I couldn't figure it out. Thank you for opening up yet another stamping horizon for me!

Awesome tutorial!
