Embossing: Finishing an Impressed Image

Video Transcript

Hi! My name is Elizabeth, and on behalf of Expert Village, we’re continuing in our series of using embossing in your cards. Now, in our previous segment, we had started this square of embossing and we had embossed 3-4 layers. I told you that after you’d heated it, and while it was still wet from melting, to add more embossing powder. If you have to get up for some reason, to take care of a child, or if it’s not staying wet, then what you could do it go ahead and reink the stamp, and then just lay on that same image again, add your embossing powder and go. What you want to have ready once you’re doing this last layer of embossing powder is you want to have...see I’ve got these 2 hearts stamped here…you want to have that heart stamp with just a little embossing powder on it, because we’re going to be using that after we have this melted. So this is our last layer of embossing powder. Heating that up, we’re melting it, and then quickly while it’s still warm, we’re going to take the stamp, press it in there, and come straight out. You can see when you do that, the embossing doesn’t stick to your stamp, because you had the ink on it, and it just kind of puts an impression there in the embossed image. So on here you have the raised image of the heart. Here you’ve got the embossing, and then the stamped image putting an impression of the heart into the embossing, adding a fun and unique touch.
