I ❤ heat embossing! It gives any card a special touch! It’s been around for a really long time, too! I’ve been wanting to try it with my stencils. Now I feel more motivated. 😊
Great video! You gave me an idea with your edge embossing on the balloon...With stacking shapes, cutting the next smaller shape as a mask for the versamark would give a sharper definition of the embossing if desired.
I've often felt heat embossing was intimidating. Your and Gerry's videos have inspired me to give this technique another try. Thank you for sharing your ideas and thoughts.
Thanks, Joy! YES! It really opens up heat embossing to a limitless number of looks! Well limited only by your ink collection lol! Have a great, crafty weekend!
These were all great hacks. I liked the tip about using different colors of ink to emboss. Back in the 90s when I first started making cards we always embossed using pigment inks in different colors. You would use clear embossing powder over it.
Great cards and tips Rebecca. On the Rabbit Hole tool, they say to get the powder to the top NOT TO CLICK the bottom but to ‘pump’ the top part and that is how the powered gets into the brush. Love the tool and purchased it after watching it one of your earlier videos. I never think to emboss an entire panel, but will try that one for sure.
Thanks Beth! LOL, yes, I figured that out half way through! Either way it really is great tool right?! And really helps me with heat embossing especially here where everything is so dry and staticy! OK that's not a word but you know what I mean!
I know what you mean. I also used to use the Nuvo big sweep brush like you so I am glad it is all in one tool. I am in Houston so I have the humidity! Not sure which is worse.
I think I like the embossed ink swipe and the clear embossing powder with colored glitter in it (balloons) best. Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks. Great collab with Gerry!
Well this was all kinds of wonderful! Just back in from the garden - had to go collect my head after if flew off 'cos of all the awesomeness!! 😶🌫I'm useless at heat embossing so am challenging myself to try some of these amazing techniques. S'about to get much shinier around here 💡Thank you SO much for this video. If I was in the US I would send you a pigeon mascot🕊 Rebecca, you continue to rock 🪨😍❣
LOL, thanks so much Michelle! One time years ago I was trying to layer up layers and layers of clear embossing powder to make it super dimensional and I did it on a mat on my desk and I scorched my desk!! So I'm betting you are no where near that useless at heat embossing! Here's a little secret...I had my husband look in our storage closet and he found my son's stuffed animal pigeon from the books Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! I have a hard time getting rid of things like that (my son just turned 15 lol). Keep your eye out for him lol!
Yay! A new idea for the cardmaking queen! 💕 How many do you have done now?! Is the fundraiser you are creating for local to you or is there info online where people can send in cards?
Thanks for these tips! I'm new and struggling with heat embossing but I'm not giving up! I love the sparkly, blingie-ness too much! I really loved the silver on vellum! I'll have to try that.
Thanks for watching, Ellen! Yes! Don't give it up! Try different powders, inks and papers too! You will find a perfect heat embossing technique that works for you! And don't be frustrated with poor results at first, sometimes you just have to find your perfect combination of product and technique!
@@RebeccaKeppel sorry! I have a question. What did you use to cut the chipboard crown? Did you just run that through a die cutter? That doesn't seem possible!
@@mrsmcphate yes! Just the Crown die from The Stamp Market and that thin chipboard I showed from the back of that patterned paper pad! Even thin metal dies can cut chipboard (as long as it’s not too thick), felt and more!
Great fun video. So many wonderful ideas that you can apply in various ways as you grow more familiar and experienced with heat embossing. My favorite was the embossing of the embossing folders both ways or sides. I am deep into embossing folders. I also make my own DIY anti-static treatment but originally bought one of the commercial wee canvas bags. Will I seem to never go through it? But I discovered the instrument or mini brush canister you snow how to refill only sold as empties for using with powdered make up and rouge. I filled with non talc baby powder that also is non scented. Seems to work as well as the canvas commercial brand. I really enjoy watching these different aspects to using embossing powders. I'm just growing into them. Years ago like over 20 years ago I made my own home made cards and added embossing powders and also made an adorable flocked kitty story for a sister in law. I tried recently using the newer brands of embossing flocks but they just don't work like the 20 year old one did. I'm going to look up some videos here on TH-cam to see if there's hints or hacks on making them come out better than I've had luck with. I also just started using a small single pancake griddle only 10 dollars from Amazon instead of the heat gun for small projects but also picked up the 8" version which is more like 7" at the base and now I can use my larger die cut outs and apply all over embossing powders especially clear. My neighbor who we share a lot of these ideas back and forth brought over copic painted cut outs and we decided to apply clear over them using the pancake griddle and oh my gosh the results were amazing. Only thing we noted is the ink colors seem to get deeper every time you heat or apply another layer of embossing and heat set. I also keep a double layer 12x12 inch glazed smooth ceramic tiles to help cool the embossed paper quicker. And it definitely does help cool. You could freeze these tiles I suppose if you wanted to think that far ahead. Also I flip the tiles over and use as a weight to flatten items if they curl up at all. I've caught some of your other videos and love them all. These are so helpful to introduce people to so many options and uses with embossing powders. Thank you for this share.
Thanks for sharing Rebecca. I have finally got my hands on one of the Rabbit Hole embossing tools, and OMG, it is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing it in one of your new supplies videos, because I loved the look of it when you used it on here. So thank you again. I hope you stay safe and well.
That anti static tool is so handy love that, the swipe and the embossing folder, wowzie such gorgeous effects😍 thanks for teaming up with me, enjoyed cooking up so these HACKS together, loved collab-ing with you💕
Thank you so much Rebecca, I really really enjoyed watching you create those different types of embossing ideas 💡. My favourite is the heart ❤️ with the foiling, I really really love ❤️ that one and I really really appreciate your time and effort to bring this to us all. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumbs up 👍 too. Please stay safe and well too
Great ideas! I like to heat emboss but I have never used it with foil. So that is definitely on my to do list. Another technique I want to try is the double layer, With the layered stamps. Thank you for sharing your ideas 👍
I love this! I struggle with heat embossing (though that Rabbit Hole tool has improved my life immeasurably), especially little tiny sentiments. And layering powder with the embossing glazes, genius! On my way to check out Gerry's video... Thanks! Have a great weekend 😊
Thanks Michele! I am telling you! That Rabbit Hole tool is a GAME CHANGER for me too! Thanks for stopping by! Have a crafty, wonderful, and hopefully pain-free weekend! I think my daughter takes her boot off next week!! Fingers crossed!
Hi Rebecca! Love your videos and appreciate so much your tips and tricks. However, my question to you is off subject: what lipstick are you using? LOVE it and it looks like what I'm looking forever for but cannot seem to find it. Would you be willing to share the brand and color? Thanks for all you do for us crafters!
Thank you so much! LOL! I *think" this is probably what I am wearing. amzn.to/3Cce2bn I've been wearing this color for a LOOOOONG time so it is most likely that one.
Can the entire community stop calling detail cutting fussy cutting? Like let's make a word that doesn't sound like a baby with colic. Detcutting or detcut for detail cutting or something?

Thanks, Debby!💕

All of the tips were great.
Vengo de ver el video de Gerry y también soy seguidora de usted.
Ideas brillantes!😃
¡Gracias!
Hard to pick a favorite - but I do love stamping in colored ink and embossing over that - so fun!!
Thanks, Joy! YES! It really opens up heat embossing to a limitless number of looks! Well limited only by your ink collection lol!

Thanks so much Cathy!
Yes! It really helped set those pigment inks too because if you didn't emboss them they took forever and a day to dry!
Great tips. Beautiful cards. Thank you for sharing
Thanks so much! Thank you for watching!
Thanks Rebecca for sharing this video. I learned a lot and inspired.
Thanks so much for watching Charlotte! So glad to hear that!

Have a great, crafty weekend!
Great techniques, I like the double embossing with the white and the glaze. Thanks for the video.
Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words too! I really appreciate you spending time with me!
I never thought about layering embossing powders with layering stamps. That is so neat! Thanks for the tips and ideas!
Thank YOU so much for watching!
Ok can't lie... was trying to figure out why you were embossing "best lay ever"... a thank you card maybe? Lol I don't always read fonts correctly 😅
OK I'm dying😅 Those scripty fonts can look different at times!

I never get tired of heat embossing!! It's magical and I am easily entertained!!😉😂Thank you, Rebecca. You and Gerry work great together ❤👏
LOL, I am exactly the same way, every time the powder changes color I feel the need to OOOOOOOH AAAAH lol!
I was so glad to meet Gerry! She is a gem!
You had some new ideas for me! Really loved the swipe of gold across the card front. Had never thought of that!
Yay! A new idea for the cardmaking queen! 💕 How many do you have done now?! Is the fundraiser you are creating for local to you or is there info online where people can send in cards?

Thank you so much! Oh good to know! I was finally able to get my hands on their refill so now I am good to go for a while!
Have I told you lately? I APPRECIATE YOU.
Awwww, my friend, you are the best!💕
Can you heat emboss on center of a dinner plate? Would this be food safe?
You could emboss it if it can withstand the heat of the heat tool, but I would not think it is food safe at all.
Versafine!
Just use pigment ink.
Can the entire community stop calling detail cutting fussy cutting? Like let's make a word that doesn't sound like a baby with colic. Detcutting or detcut for detail cutting or something?
Just use corn starch..really your excuse is weak.
