Embossing Magic Episode 1: Basic Heat Embossing

Recently I have had a few emails and some students in my classes asking me about how to heat emboss and what supplies are need. So I decided to post a series of video tutorials on the subject that will hopefully, answer some of those questions. This first video covers the basics; a brief description of supplies and a quick demonstration of the technique.

If you are new to stamping, you are going to love learning this technique. It's simple to do, but it adds a beautiful element to your projects. And if you are a seasoned stamper, well, I hope to share some techniques and ideas that you may not be familiar with yet, in my upcoming videos on this subject. So let's get started......

(note: The video is in two parts because of the 10 minute time limit on youtube.com. The 2 videos together are about 11 minutes in length)

I received this beautiful card in a swap at this past summer's SU! convention. It was created by Gail Yanker. It uses the stamp set Gifts of Christmas; Very Vanilla, Rich Razzleberry, & Brushed Gold cardstock; VersaMark ink; clear and gold embossing powder.


A couple more card samples from the video. I have had both of these in my card stash for so long I don't even remember who I received it from. I believe the stamp sets are now retired, but cute ideas that can be adapted.

This is another card I received in a swap at this year's convention. This card was created by Brenda Witt. It uses the Dasher and A Cardinal Christmas stamp sets; real red and shimmery white card stock; Bride designer series paper; white craft ink; white embossing powder; white organza ribbon; and the scallop edge craft punch.

And finally. I created this card quite some time ago. For all the details please refer to my April 4, 2008 post.

Stay tuned. My next video on the subject will cover the Emboss Resist Technique.
