My tip is to rub your anti static tool on your paper that catches the loose powder. All the powder goes back in the jar easily and quickly.

[@hhlove2craft]

I have been embossing for YEARS. And yet, I learned a lot of wonderful techniques from your video. Thank you, also, for the free "guide to heat embossing." LOVE your videos because you are real and not afraid to show any mishaps or mistakes you may have made. THANK YOU!

[@paulaolson8956]

Heat embossing will always be magic to me.

[@lindameigs8330]

Thanks, Laurel - I love heat embossing! Like you, I find it magical - just love to watch the magic happening as I heat it.

[@melissazabower339]

I use oxide inks and clear powder for sentiments. I don't do much embossing except for sentiments.

[@bernadettelawson2916]

I love using coloured powder on white card. It’s like magic when it appears. And again, watching it melt never gets old 😊

[@LaurelBeard]

So true!

[@roxanneklinger3828]

I loved when you added a few different colors to the embossing. I have always been afraid to do that , but it totally works. Thanks.

[@barbaraparker8225]

I could just watch you all day. You are one of my favorites on KZbin. Thank you for your content and for your commitment to the crafty community. Blessings sent from Dallas, Texas.

[@floradiamonds]

Hi Laurel, thanks for the download, I now have it, and plan to play with new, to me anyway, ideas, once I've had my coffee. Not quite awake yet, after a busy few days. Thank you for your generosity to crafters keen to learn. X

[@gingerpayne7310]

Great tips! I love using embossing powder. My tip is actually from your friend Ardyth- putting foil in the bottom of a shoe box and heat it , it does warp and your fingers stay less burnt.

[@pquack51]

I just love your videos! You explain and demonstrate everything! TYFS!!

[@dnsgilbert09]

I've been stamping since the 90s, but never thought to use stencils. Thank you for that tip.

[@LaurelBeard]

Yay! You are so welcome

[@HPNana-]

Thanks for the video. Now I understand why my sentiments blur or pool when embossing. Thank you 😘

[@bethjeans3780]

My little hint: Versafine Clair can be heat embossed up to about 7 minutes *after* stamping, though it feels completely dry. Magic! The exact time can depend on climate. At a Stamp & SB Expo I mentioned it to an owner of Rubbernecker Stamps who was demoing stamping while using Versafine Clair. He didn’t believe me, but was up for the challenge, took off his watch, stamped and waited 7 minutes. Bingo! BTW, Versafine Clair does second and some colors even third generation stamping, with interesting color shifts. Not my most used inks but wonderful for fine details and of course heat embossing.

[@bunnylands916]

New to the card making scene, looking to try heat embossing. Thank you for the video!!

[@LaurelBeard]

Have fun! You'll love it!

[@mistye277]

Any suggestions or preferences for the heat tool?

[@dianemcdonald3900]

Thank you for all your wonderful techniques. I’m new to embossing so this was very helpful and inspiring!!

[@wendyzilli9735]

Thank you Laurel. I have the gun, the embossing powders etc and I’m sooooo afraid to use them. lol. No idea what I’m afraid of? Maybe because I’ll make a mess with the powder?? I dunno. Crazy right?!? Thank you for sharing❤ and thank you for the download 😊

[@bunnylands916]

You sound just like me -- I bought everything I needed, and watched any number of "how-to" videos, but it was months before I got up the nerve to give heat embossing a try. I made plenty of mistakes before I felt comfortable with it, but heat embossing has become my favorite cardmaking technique. Here are a few suggestions, based on my experience: 1) Create a checklist so you won't forget any steps. (I can't tell you how many times I forgot about covering cardstock with anti-static powder before I thought to make a checklist. Once I became more accustomed to heat embossing, I discarded the checklist, but I taped a reminder about using anti-static powder to the top of my Versamark pad.) 2) Practice going through the process, without using embossing ink, to become more familiar with the steps. 3) Make sure your checklist includes putting loose embossing powder back in the jar and replacing the lid. (I learned the hard way that those steps should be taken before using a heat gun on a stamped image, not after -- otherwise, you risk having the cord of the heat gun knock over an open container of embossing powder, or scatter loose powder from the coffee filter or piece of scrap paper you'd used to collect it.) 4) When you move beyond practicing, use stamps that don't have much detail, and that you know will stamp well. 5) Above all, keep in mind that everyone makes mistakes, practice makes perfect (or in my case, "good enough"), and if you waste some cardstock, a bit of embossing ink and a little embossing powder, it's not a big deal. Best of luck getting started - I'm sure once you get the hang of it, you'll love heat embossing.☺ t's a great technique, one that can really enhance your cards or scrapbook pages.

@@bunnylands916 Thank you so much for all the tips. I really appreciate it!!

[@bunnylands916]

Laurel, I downloaded your very helpful guide, and noticed it says in chapter 4 that you can't emboss with pigment ink, but in chapter 5 it says you can. Does it depend on which brand you use? You mentioned that Catherine Pooler inks are sufficiently slow-drying to use for embossing, and someone commented that Versafine Clair inks dry slowly enough to work for embossing. Are there other brands that can be substituted for embossing ink, or should I just try mine to see if any of them can be used for this purpose?

[@angiehudson710]

You should be able to heat emboss with any brand of pigment ink. Dye based inks generally dry too fast to emboss with, but try what you have. If you don't want to invest in a bunch of pigment inks and have a stamp positioner, you can stamp with dye ink, then stamp over it with embossing ink or Versamark and emboss

[@bunnylands916]

Thanks for clarifying this!
