Let's talk about heat embossing - what is it, how you do it and what supplies you need!
What is heat embossing?
Heat embossing is a fun way to add dimension to your stamped images! Images are stamped in slow drying ink and the embossing powder is sprinkled on top. The powder sticks to the wet ink and then is melted with a heat tool to produce a smooth, raised image. Julie Ebersole calls it "magic on paper"!
