Summary: Embossing is a process of using heat and pressure to create a three-dimensional image or design in a two-dimensional surface like paper or other textiles. The technique is also achieved by using a letterpress machine. Embossing is commonly used to improve paper products like tissue paper and paper towels by giving them texture. Using embossed lettering or designs is a simple way to add pizzazz to a homemade greeting or birthday card. Your card will have a professionally crafted look, but still maintain that personalized feel of a homemade card.

In this series of free arts and crafts videos, you’ll learn how to emboss and exciting ways of using embossing in a homemade greeting card. Expert Elizabeth Nell explains the embossing process step-by-step, offering tips on tools you’ll need to get started, such as an embossing stamp, heat tool, and embossing pens. She demonstrates various techniques using stained glass embossing as well as outline embossing, and how to use multi-color embossing powder. You’ll also get tips on clean-up and suggestions for using embossing in other craft projects.
