Heat Embossing with Textured Notes

I recently held a Heat Embossing Class that focused on different heat embossing techniques and a refresher on heat embossing basics.  This card uses products from the Botanical Textures Suite Collection – the Textured Notes stamp set and the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper.  The greetings are from the More Messages Bundle.

This was a fun card featuring two different heat embossing techniques – heat embossing on Designer Series Paper and mixing embossing powers.  Say what???  Yelp, I took a spoon each of white, black, gold, silver and copper embossing powers, put them into a container with a lid, shook it up to mix the powers and created a one of a kind heat embossing experience. 

The unique thing about mixing embossing powders is that no two images will be the same!  I loved this look so much, I wanted to do something on the inside card panel, so I added two strips of Tear & Tape, removed the backing, applied my "mixed-up" embossing powers and heat set.  So, yes, you can add embossing power using Tear & Tape – who knew!

Here's some of my heat embossing tips-

• An embossing buddy is your best friend.  Make sure to use on cardstock or designer series paper BEFORE stamping
• Let your heat tool warm up and get hot before using it
• Heat emboss with good lighting – good lighting helps to see the embossing powder change from dull to shiny
• Use a small tip paint brush to help remove stray powder
• Let your embossing cool before attaching to your project or die-cutting, etc.

Pull out your embossing powers, VersaMark ink pad and heat tool to immerse yourself in the joy of heat embossing!
