How To Emboss Your Handmade Cards
This is one of the first techniques I
learned. I use it all of the time as you see if you read my ramblings.
These are the tools you need to emboss, stamp, VersaMark,
Ink, Clear Embossing Powder, Embossing Buddy, Powder Tray and a Heat Gun
The first thing you are going to do once
you have selected your paper and stamp set is to take your Embossing Buddy and
lightly rub it over the area you intend to emboss.
Then you are going to ink up your stamp
with VersaMark. If you want the image to be colored than stamp in the ink. Stamp
on the area you want the image on. Clean your stamp before using again.
Lightly sprinkle the embossing powder over
the area, making sure it is covered well. Shake off any excess. (I used Clear
Embossing Powder here)

Using your heat gun heat the image until it
turns shiny. Be careful not to burn the paper.

Tah Dah! You
are finished. Reward yourself with some chocolate!
