Heat Embossing Tips…

Hidy Ho Stampers,

 

Today I wanted to show you some great heat embossing tips…

 

I'm in the middle of (actually I'm almost done) with my swaps that I'm making for Founder's Circle.  We have to make 123 swaps so I've been working on them for a little while.  It was a great weekend to stay in and stamp.  Here is what it looks like all set up.  I'm embossing one part of the card.

Here's my Daisy #2 Die flowers all ready for the next phase (I'm going to sponge and curl them next.

Anway, when you emboss your paper does it ever curl and take on the "wave" after you Emboss your image?  I used the Field Flower stem and embossed it with Versa Mark ink then sprinkled it with our new Wild Wasabi embossing powder.

If your cardstock curls, just take your heat gun and heat it UNDERNEATH for just a moment and it will straighten it right back out.

so it lays flat….then when you are done and hungry, you can use your embossing tool for your lunch, yes, I said for your lunch!!!

 

 

This is my roast beef and swiss cheese sandwich on whole wheat before….

and here is my sandwich after!  The heat tool is a GREAT cheese melter.  Anyone that knows me knows that I don't really like raw cheese (aka cheese that is not melted).  So instead of putting this under the broiler, it just takes seconds to run your heat gun over it and it melts PERFECTLY!!!!  I love to multitask…you can work and eat at the same time!
