Mastering Embossing Techniques

Mastering embossing techniques can take your crafting projects to the next level. There are two main types of embossing to explore:

Dry Embossing

Dry embossing involves creating raised designs on paper or cardstock using embossing folders and a die-cutting machine. This technique adds texture without the need for heat or embossing powders.

Heat Embossing

Heat embossing is a favourite among crafters for its glossy and professional finish. After stamping your design with embossing ink, sprinkle embossing powder over it and use a heat gun, such as the Crafter’s Companion Heat Tool, to set it. The heat gun melts the powder, creating a beautiful, raised effect.
