[@karenmclaughlan9128]

Thank you for explaining and showing us its much appreciated. Can I ask where you got your little plastic powder catcher tub thingy lol x

[@emilytimm7444]

Wonderful, in depth info. I have been dying to try my hand at embossing but have been intimidated to start because I know nothing. This is an excellent video to get started! I also love that you demonstrate common mistakes and how/why to avoid them. Thanks!!

[@jyslouey]

I really love your videos, very clear, easy to understand and no unnecessary chit chat or giggles. There aren't many tutorials done with a clear English accent, you will be my go to site for all tutorials in future. Please keep them coming. Thank you Alex.

[@jaimestephens8827]

Thank you so much for sharing different tips & ideas with embossing techniques. I've never tried the watermark or dauber technique yet, however it's now on my to do list. I really enjoy your videos & blog. I learn so many new things. I can't wait to see the scented embossing powder video that will be coming up. Happy Crafting!! ☺☉🎨💖

[@HedgehogHollow]

Thank you so much for following along :-)

[@mariallknowing9273]

Thank you gor an outstanding tutorial. Using the same stamp for every technic really shows the different results.

[@LindaPenney]

Awesome just having a refresher on how to do it as went wrong last night

[@everythingellie9228]

The embossing on the colored ink was so beautiful!!

[@tinak.3022]

Excellent video! I’m a new subscriber now. I throughly enjoy making my own cards and one of my favorite techniques is embossing. It adds a wow factor to the cards. It’s been awhile since I’ve used my embossing powders and I appreciate the refresher course. I have one quick question, is it possible to make your own stamp cleaner? What do you think it is made of? Thanks and have a lovely day!

[@WendysCraftDen]

Hi Alexandra. Please HELP!!!!!! I spent ages yesterday making an insert for my special trellis card but wanted to put a gold embossed butterfly in the middle of my paper/card. I went to emboss it and my new heat tool worked great but OH NO!!!! my paper/card has warped what can i do? I heated it from underneath and on top in the hope this wouldn't happen. Hugs and Luvs xxxx

[@lesliejones6018]

Try putting the card under a heavy pile of books for a few days to straighten it out.good luck and lots of love x sue

[@ladyabosso765]

Loved this clear video, could this be done on leather too? Thanks

[@HedgehogHollow]

I've never tried heat embossing on leather; it most definitely work but im not sure of the wear and tear

[@juliedetlefsen5702]

So many ideas, so little time. Thank you for all of the good information, (USA)

[@elizabethnetzer5633]

Great information, thanks so much for sharing.

[@HedgehogHollow]

You're so welcome

Hi, I thought you liked the Tonic Nuvo Clear Mark best? Which would you recommend for a learner stamper - Versamark or Nuvo? Many thanks.

[@HedgehogHollow]

Hi Gail, this is a really old video before I really new about all the other options or they were available to me; for a beginner now I say go Nuvo :-)

[@gailbarlow8958]

Hedgehog Hollow Thank you for getting back to me - it is much appreciated. I have a very old unused Versamark which will more than likely be dried out by now. I will try the Nuvo, as a “learner” again it should give me more time to play!

[@paulettelewis7779]

I am just getting into embossing. Can you let me know what's a good way to clean my stamps

[@HedgehogHollow]

I like using a cloth with water on the whole, for tougher inks I use the tonic stamp cleaning fluid

[@reahleneroberts3312]

Paulette Lewis I use baby wipes clean mines

[@PaperCraneWishes]

Can I can use any type of ink with embossing powder? Or are there only specific types of ink ? 💕❤️💕

[@pinkpinsofpain]

You can use clear embossing ink + colored embossing powder or colored pigment ink + clear embossing powder.

[@PaperCraneWishes]

@@pinkpinsofpain thank you!!!!

[@charlotteparton8581]

Would it be OK if I post a link to your channel on a closed group that I belong to? There are over 10,000 members and a lot of them are new to stamping and would benefit from your videos. Thanks!

Hi Alexandra. Me again, I panicked without needing to it has now flattened out itself. I didn't delete the post in case someone else has the same problem. Hugs xxxx

[@HedgehogHollow]

So glad it flattened out for you, by alternating the heat on each side it should normally sort itself out

[@WendysCraftDen]

Thank you for your reply. Yesterday I used paper I think rather than my usual card so the warping was more than usual. Do you happen to know whats the weight when paper changes to card? xxx Wendy

[@sharonbowman5674]
