I'm new to this type of craft, and if I hadn't seen you write it with my own eyes, I would've thought the lettering at the beginning was a stamp! How did you learn to write so perfectly? I'm impressed

Check out her website Nancy, she teaches courses on how and I’m participating in her current one, it’s great

FYI, rub an anti-static pouch over your paper before pouring the powder on to create a static-free paper that less powder will adhere to. Less/easier clean up. They cost just a few dollars at any craft store.

EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT VIDEO! Straight to the point, clear instructions, and I love how you showed all the products needed and how you did a demo on each method! I’m completely new to embossing and I’ve watched sooo many other videos on the subject that made me left confused bc their videos were for one, too long, second, they went on and on about all the products they didn’t like and their bad experiences with each product! I just want to know how to do it, the products I need!!! YOUR video was perfect! I absolutely loved it! Also, I LOVE the name of your YT channel! Easy to remember and I love the play on words! Very “crafty”!!! Yes, your video was EXTREMELY useful for sure!!!! Thank you soooo much!!!

Thank you so much I had googled what embossing powder was for and they didn't explain it at all but you showed me not only what it was for but 3 different ways to do it and now I'm so excited about the end results that I saw you have I am going to go get the pens and possibly the liquid ink so I can try my hand at it. I have the powder and the heat tool. I got them at a yard sale but I thought it was glitter. Thank you again for inspiring me into a whole new area of crafts

I know someone already asked the question, but the static powder would have helped with this. I am surprised you didn't use it. Also using a misti or tim holtz stamping tool for precision of stamping in the same location over and over would be useful too. I will note that your writing is INCREDIBLE!!! You clearly have skills when it comes to do the writing embossing.

I'm making some Christmas placemeats and am at the point where I'll be varnishing the placemats, my question is, I'm applying some snowflakes in embossing powder should I do the embossing first then varnish or is the embossing powder best left unsealed? Thanks.

@user-mv9tt4st9k 4 жыл бұрын

The anti static "powder" is to help remove oils that the embossing powder will stick to. You can make an anti-static bag using cornstarch or talcum powder in a small lint-free bag (mine is made of muslin).

Is that something you can do with different techniques Or is that something you need expensive equipment for? Also does this only work on paper surface or can you emboss on plastic or metal? Is there a certain type of protective spray you put over the lettering to keep it looking glossy?

The embossing powder I have says to dampen the paper then pour the embossing powder. But no mattet what I do it either sticks just a littie bit to everything or all pours off. Do You have to be putting ink into you indent to make it stick before heating? And i used an iron lol but when I pour it off it all pours off. Is my indent not deep enough do I need to use a marker or certain ink? My bottle just says dampen surface

Thank you for sharing your techniques for three embossing methods. I have yet to begin embossing. You mentioned not using that heat gun for very long as it can cause some burning.

If you keep the heat gun moving it helps then when the powder changes colour you stop, you will get used to how long. It’s very quick
