Hand Embossing Tutorial

[@sbender3787]

This was a "thing" before embossing folders and machines. I have many brass stencils for dry embossing. I also have taken inexpensive store bought cards, and outlined florals with a ball tipped embossing tools. First I embossed from the front of the card, then flipped the card over and embossed just inside those lines to make it stand out.

[@meph9283]

To use the Bonefolder was a great idea, it goes much smoother to the paper then iron tools. Thanks a lot.

[@lindapullan6937]

Thank you for a great tutorial. I have never thought of making my own template. To make life easier, rub the back of the paper with a tumble dryer sheet before you emboss it as it makes the tool move easier on the paper. If you are not using a light box then rest the paper on something soft like the soft side of a mouse mat. You can buy ball tools for embossing in lots of sizes, although the tip of the bone folder worked well.

[@jamiemorindesigns6930]

Great advice! Thanks Linda!

[@imadish5356]

Wow. I love that you made and shared this. I have a Cricut and while it will emboss/deboss, I'm a believer that your method is what crafting is truly about -far more personal and thoughtful! This will put heart into the card. Thank you very much! Subscribed.

[@jamiemorindesigns6930]

You're very welcome! I also find the manual process to be very relaxing so yes, sometimes skipping the machine can be a good thing! 😁

Greetings from North Sweden! Thank you greatly for a very informative and ingenious tutorial. It was very interesting to see a tutorial where a product is not pushed & promoted. It gave it a extra dimension of interest. I’ll be following you from now on 😬

[@jamiemorindesigns6930]

Thank you Liliya! The goal of this one was trying to be able to emboss with things you hopefully just have laying around the house. Hopefully it was helpful to you!

[@liliyakamala2348]

@@jamiemorindesigns6930 very correct assumptions. 🥰🥰 Thank you yet again 😍😍

[@nancymiller4338]

Thanks for the fun tutorial. If you don’t have a light box, you can tape the paper to a window. Rubbing the back of the paper with wax paper helps the bone folder move smoother.

[@jamiemorindesigns6930]

Excellent suggestions!

[@stephiebosqui3473]

In Germany 20 years ago we exclusively embossed like this. At some point there were metal stencils with motifs. But they all had a lightbox and an embossing tool with a ball.

[@jamiemorindesigns6930]

So fascinating. Thanks for sharing!

[@17joy32]

Used plastic stencils n spritzed right side first...great technique ♡

[@judica8873]

Now, that tutorial video is excellent. I have viewed & followed the instructions on very many embossing tutorials. I was always unsuccessful & disappointed; so I abandoned [put on hold] projects such as personalized stationery for my niece; until now, that is. I understand where, & what, I was NOT understanding previously. Thanks to your simplified tutorial explaining the purpose of each step I clearly see what I had not. So, I'll take the stationery project off the back burner & get on with it. First thing is simply my design. Thank you so so very much.

[@jamiemorindesigns6930]

Yay for finishing old projects! I'm glad it made sense to you and helped fill the knowledge gaps!

[@danielacalvo9175]

Thank yous! This was really useful!!

[@theire483]

This is great for people who just enjoy crafting, not as a small business. Those cutting/embossing machines are expensive.

[@jamiemorindesigns6930]

You are right. This would take way too long and honestly probably cause too much pain to your hand to do for a small business. The investment in machinery would be needed!

This is awesome I did a name like the puzzle size letters and I used either blow dryer or heat gun to trace the letter and they looked like 3D which was one of the first times. So yea this is a definitely good idea thank you!

Thank you I don't emboss enough to justify $pending and I don't have extra space..but I do like to know how to DIY it .and this was so helpful. I subbed to support a fellow artist.

[@mariaisdeanda8673]

You can buy stencils! I have metal stencils, alphabets, numbers and little shapes like hearts, balloons, etc. I also have a 2 light boxes. They are so much fun. The mouse pad is a great idea. Anna Griffin they to or did for yhe old cuttlebug. Your can find embossing and die cutting machines for cheap. You can embossing with the rubber mat even plastic stencils, cutting dies. Long if you have a rubber mat. Discount stores like Tuesday Morning and other carry older models for low prices. Thank you for sharing you video. It brought old memories. If you go on line, you may still find older metal stencils. Oh, I use to use a rolling pen but you have to press ready hard. Good Luck! Many Blessings. From Texas.

[@TheLindaLWeeks]

Thank you, Ms. Jamie; what a great tutorial! Just got some exacto knives and blades from Dick Blick so that I can cut out my designs, and now I'm ready to go! 😁

[@jamiemorindesigns6930]

You're welcome! I hope you enjoy!

[@kayenash5481]

Thank you ❤

[@laurapereiramalone5257]

Great idea, if you need a special piece, but I have to say when making as many cards as I do. I use a embossing machine my small machine is wonderful, as is my large one . They really don’t take up much space.. plus there hand crank.. not electric , I take it on camping trips too!

[@deesengelbert]

Great tutorial!Thanks!

[@jamiemorindesigns6930]

You're very welcome. Hope you have fun with it!

[@nneedler]

Nice instructions. What type of mat are you using while embossing?

[@bkdgbasura]

This is so helpful!! Thank you 😁

[@lauramartin7300]

Thanks for Sharing. I think I would have more control with the ball tools for smaller items. Never thought of using the bone folder for something like that. Can you use regular stencils? I saw some time ago, having embossing folders,using a rolling pin. I tried it,not bad. But have learned now,to went paper before using the embossing folders. So I think that would work better. Just info to share. Glad to know you can do this. Thanks again.

Man love the stencil that says 2022 did you make it also do you have a file for it if you make your own stencils you are goos

[@jamiemorindesigns6930]

Thank you! I made it on the computer then printed it off and traced it.

[@tywannaluckey7086]

You can also used Stencils. 👍🏽

[@billyodamit8709]

It is not a bone folder, it is used to score not fold. Scoring is the line you make to fold. It is called a Whale Bone because they used a bone to get a good score.

[@izzyjones7108]

What about lightly misting the paper?? Or would that increase chances of ripping/tearing? (I saw some other tutorials that mentioned Misting the paper) thanks

[@amkarei]

TOO C O O L!!!

[@Richiedei50]

Very interesting, thank you. I heard you say “Let it dry at the end” - I must have missed something. Do you have to dampen the cardboard before working it? 🥰

[@jamiemorindesigns6930]

No, no water involved in this one!

[@Richiedei50]

@@jamiemorindesigns6930 Thank you 🥰

[@jamiemorindesigns6930]

@@Richiedei50 I was trying to think why I may have said something about drying. I may have been referring to the original example where I had done some calligraphy first. I let that dry before doing the embossing!
