* EMBOSSING MAGIC *
Embossing is one
of the most amazing and creative parts of card making.
When you emboss, your card making and rubber stamping
will not only come alive, you will make it glitter and
sparkle far better then any glitter card you buy in a
shop. GETTING
STARTED
Getting started is so
easy and is not expensive, all you need is paper or
card, rubber stamps, a selection of quality coloured or
glitter embossing powder and a heat gun.
RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE BEST
JOB
The easiest and
fastest way to start embossing is to experiment, the
more you try, the more you will be pleased with what you
create and want to do more.
NOTE: to
emboss your stamped area, you must use the correct
inkpad, if you do not you will not achieve the desired
effect. You must use an embossing or pigment ink and not a dye ink,
please see our Hints and Tips - 'Inkpads' for more
information about using the correct
inks.
SPECIAL NOTE: please do not make the
mistake of trying to use a hair dryer as the heat is too
great. You must use a heat gun designed for embossing
for best results.
PREPARATION IS IMPORTANT
Prepare your chosen
paper or card and choose your rubber stamp and embossing
powders for the project you are about to create. Stamp
your inkpad gently but evenly over the surface of the
rubber stamp. With your card on a flat, even surface,
position your rubber-stamp and press down firmly and
evenly. Carefully remove the rubber stamp (especially on
glossy or less absorbant card) sprinkle your chosen
embossing powder over the inked area. Lift your card and
shake off the surplus embossing powder then apply the
embossing heat gun over the area and watch the embossed
area swell, glitter and glow depending on the type of
powder you have chosen.
 Embossing is not
expensive and a 14g or 30g jar will last you a long
time. When embossing do your project over a sheet of
pre-folded paper (satin or glossy paper rather than matt
to flow easily), this will then catch all the surplus
embossing powder which you can then fold and put back
into your pot and re-use it again and again.
MOVING ON
Embossing is incredible
using the right embossing
powder on the right card
with the right tools you
will be amazedand so will the people you give or
sell your cards to. But it doesn't stop there . . once
you get the hang of it you will become more creative and
will want to do much more.
For your next project
you can be even more creative. Apply a dye ink to your
rubber stamp and make your impression on your card or
paper. Then using an embossing pen, infill the areas
within the lines. Do a little at a time and emboss as
explained above. Don't be frightened to experiment and
use different colours fading into each other the effects
can be quite stunning. Once you have mastered the basics
there will be no stopping you. It is all down to trial
and error, being creative and how much time you want to
spend
