Hand-Lettered and Embossing

Embossing has quickly become one of my favorite hobbies! And it is super easy! 

Here are the supplies that you will need: 

Here is a kit to buy all the supplies together for cheaper  (Except for the cardstock). 

Optional: 

  • embossing ink
  • stamps

Instructions: These are so so easy! You're gonna love it!

  1. Write on your paper with the embossing pen.  
  2. Pour embossing powder on top. 
  3. Life paper and dump remaining embossing powder onto another sheet of paper.  
  4. Turn on your heat gun and watch the powder melt into each other.   
  5. Pour remaining powder back into your bottle. 

Tips: Be careful not to hold the gun in one spot too long or it will start to burn your paper.  It should be okay if you just keep it moving. 

Also, if the powder sticks to more places than where you wanted it, lightly blow on it to give it a cleaner look.  Make sure you don't blow too hard or it will the powder will come off of your letters.  

You can also use a stamp with some embossing ink.  Just make sure the stamp is fully covered with the ink, stamp it on your paper, and pour the powder on the same way.
