WOW! Heat embossing tips for beginners

[@AmandaLovesCrafts]

I have just purchased the Wow Heat Gun, Embossing Pad and powders. I am very new to this and found the video very informative and you go at a pace a newbie can keep up with. Thank you so much. Looking forward to starting now.

I just bought a heat gun and embossing set and haven’t used it yet. I can’t wait to incorporate it into my crafting

[@dawnaskey4975]

Reading the comments, I am relieved to know that I am not the only one who has a lot of questions! I don't want to buy supplies until I better understand how to do it! Does it stick to dry ink? Do you have to use special ink? And I really want to know why you can't use a plastic container if it was treated to be antistatic and is sold in plastic? I have watched other tutorials and I am not finding answers to these questions anywhere! Embossing powder is not cheap but I am interested, but if I have to buy special ink and other expensive consumables, then I might have to be content with other forms of being creative. Does mica powder work?

[@WowEmbossingPowder]

Thank you so much for your questions Dawn 🙏🏻 I'd love to help you with some of these, and I'll definitely be making a list of the questions and creating another video to address them all! The powder won't stick to dry ink as it is attracted to the moisture when using with standard inks. Embossing ink will have a stickiness and ours is ultra slow drying also which gives you more time to emboss. Our powder and also our pots are treated to be anti static, so if you transfer to a regular plastic tub or use a plastic spoon you will be putting static back into the powder. I hope this all helps to answer some of your questions? But if you have anything else you'd like to know then you can always reach out! (That goes to anyone reading this!!!) Happy crafting! Tasha

Hello, you are a really good teacher, nice voice and a pace that is easily understood. I tried embossing, but the heat gun didn't do anything. I followed everything you said but didn't have any results, except to the point of putting on the embossing powder. Advice please. Jo xx

I love the mat. Is it glass? Is it still available to purchase from the US? Please reply and send a link.

I am having a hard time getting my glitter to stay on the cardstock. The powder bag leaves a lot of residue. Glitter doesn't seem to adhere. Can rub off. I don't have the same products as you. Items that I got at a local craft department store.

New to embossing thank you for such good advice can wait to start .

[@phoenix.maximus]

same, except one year from your comment. how's it been going?

[@AmandaLovesCrafts]

​@@phoenix.maximussame but one year from your comment. How are you getting on?

[@mimid9257]

So for you to be able to emboss, do you NEED the stamps or is there another of doing our own design?

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful information!!!

Thank you very much! 💛

[@anamarts5779]

What about ceramic? Won't the particles of embossing power stick on mug?

[@vickidonnelly543]

Where did you get the mat? Link please

[@alilyon9961]

Help, I’ve just bought the opaque bright white and it’s quite grainy and not sticking to the embossing ink. I’ve tried an embossing ink pad as well as embossing dabber. What ami doing wrong?

[@lyndawhitworth3795]

I'm confused about the storage of the embossing powder as it comes in a plastic container and the storage boxes are plastic too !

[@jaynieroberts494]

How do you clean your stamp please?

[@tamaracharles6976]

I've got some Wow embossing powders. But everytime I use them they don't emboss. Either the page turns black the glitter disappears. Do you have any idea what i could be doing wrong?

[@WowEmbossingPowder]

If it is an embossing glitter, heat from behind the cardstock. This allows the powder to melt trapping the glitter. If you do it from the front, the glitter can blow off before the powder has had a chance to melt and trap the glitter 😊

[@zahraiqba765]

Can i use a hair drier instead?

[@WowEmbossingPowder]

Hi Zahra! Unfortunately a hairdryer won't reach the temperature needed to emboss, and it also blows out a lot of air which is another reason it isn't heat embossing compatible, I hope this info helps.

[@charnikadavis276]

It won’t wear away will ot
