Heat Embossing Techniques you HAVE to try!

[@marionsimpson9566]

Do you remember the old saying “Never trust a skinny chef” or am I just showing my age! Well never trust a tidy crafter😂😂😂

[@ladams1221]

You can get a 4' magnetic bowl at Harbor Freight for $2.09. All of my dies go right in there as soon as I cut with them. But beware...dies will stick to the bottom of it and drive you crazy looking for them!

[@annemoore9932]

Wow, I’m in Australia, just watched your demo on useing colour and then embossing with a clear embossing powder thanks for that tip.

[@dianeroff7706]

Retirement is awesome for watching your videos!

[@ElizabethDarrah-k7y]

The mess is funny! That’s just the way it looks when you’re so busy crafting!!

[@rannahling-romps7397]

Every scrapbooking and card making person I have met only has a small spot to work at!! YES me too!!

[@mariewilliams9409]

You make it look so easy. My cards look like a 5 yr did them...with their eyes closed and hands tied.

[@shirlenevella9165]

IMO, the BEST creativity occurs in a “ whirlpool of messiness”! Just saying!❤️😍🤣

[@conniesobczak2177]

Years ago, I had this sign, and it said...... a messes desk is a sign of a genius ,lol

[@ginniesedlak20]

Couldn't watch the live today but loved the replay! Thanks for showing your "crafting mess/behind the scenes"! You know it makes us all feel better about our crafting space! Loved all the techniques and appreciate you sharing your talent and time so generously!

[@DawnalynForrest]

It’s fun watching you-from the early days of StampTv to now🎉

[@vickiehopkins13-tm2sl]

Ok, now I feel at home with you showing us “the mess” 😂😂

[@Denise11Schultz]

Re: dampness getting in to embossing powder, if I lived in a damp area, I would use the little packet from a bottle of vitamins to ‘Keep my powder dry’ 😉

[@RiseandProcraftinate]

^ This! I have had clumpy embossing powder that was effected by moisture and added the silica packets. Came back to them a couple months later, broke up the clumps and they were just fine. I have embossing powder from The Personal Stamp Exchange, which closed in the late 90's and it's still good. Embossing powder doesn't go bad IMO. Just use the silica packets to remove moisture and you're all good.

[@jeanettereynolds3151]

Thank you im newbe and love to look for tips in comments.iTRIED EMBOSSING SOME WORDS WITH GOLD BUT IT DIDNT TURN OUT GOOD?? ​@RiseandProcraftinate

[@Denise11Schultz]

@@jeanettereynolds3151 I can think of 3 things that might be happening. •If you can, be sure to use the little bag of anti-static powder on your cardstock before stamping the words. •Your embossing and watermark ink pad might need to be freshly re-inked. Usually after you pour on the drops from the bottle, it helps to press an old debit card back and forth over the pad to distribute it evenly. •A clear acrylic stamping block or a stamping platform like a Misti will let you apply pressure evenly. I notice Gina K often says she likes to stamp a fine detail stamp several times with the stamping platform. That way the ink doesn’t have to be too thick, and the pressure doesn’t have to be too hard. The repetition does the job. •Oops, I forgot #4. You can pre-heat your heat tool first for about 30 seconds. That can help the powder melt right away. Hope that will help. 🌷🦋

[@jeanettereynolds3151]

​@@Denise11Schultzthank you so much I didn't know about static powder so thank you so much uk

[@heart_soul50]

This is an excellent idea.

So happy to find the video.

[@BeckyHaydeGarcia]

Oh, Gina, never be embarrassed about your "mess". All crafter make a mess. (Well, maybe there are one or two who are compulsively neat.) If you ever saw mine, you would never think you're messy.
