About The Happy Ever Crafter:
Welcome to my channel! I'm Becca! I do & teach modern calligraphy! On this channel, you'll find all my most requested modern calligraphy tutorials, tips & tricks!
I'm new to this type of craft, and if I hadn't seen you write it with my own eyes, I would've thought the lettering at the beginning was a stamp! How did you learn to write so perfectly? I'm impressed
Check out her website Nancy, she teaches courses on how and I’m participating in her current one, it’s great
As someone who has terrible handwriting, watching you letter had me in awe lol
FYI, rub an anti-static pouch over your paper before pouring the powder on to create a static-free paper that less powder will adhere to. Less/easier clean up. They cost just a few dollars at any craft store.
Anti static powder tool is an absolute must have when embossing. Really ups your embossing powder game 👌🏼
So jealous of your handwriting skill!😍
EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT VIDEO! Straight to the point, clear instructions, and I love how you showed all the products needed and how you did a demo on each method! I’m completely new to embossing and I’ve watched sooo many other videos on the subject that made me left confused bc their videos were for one, too long, second, they went on and on about all the products they didn’t like and their bad experiences with each product! I just want to know how to do it, the products I need!!! YOUR video was perfect! I absolutely loved it! Also, I LOVE the name of your YT channel! Easy to remember and I love the play on words! Very “crafty”!!! Yes, your video was EXTREMELY useful for sure!!!! Thank you soooo much!!!
Thank you so much I had googled what embossing powder was for and they didn't explain it at all but you showed me not only what it was for but 3 different ways to do it and now I'm so excited about the end results that I saw you have I am going to go get the pens and possibly the liquid ink so I can try my hand at it. I have the powder and the heat tool. I got them at a yard sale but I thought it was glitter. Thank you again for inspiring me into a whole new area of crafts
Your handwriting is absolutely stunning wow
Found some embossing supplies in a long-forgotten drawer, and tried to google "how to use embossing powder".... I should've known to come straight to your channel! As always, simple and straight forward, and not to mention your samples are gorgeous! :). Thanks Becca!
Wow, thanks so much for sharing these 3 ways of using embossing powder!! Also want to let you know that you have really nice handwriting!
Wonderful! About to get a heat gun for my bday & wanted to know what basic supplies I'll need to emboss. That was perfect! Thank you so much! Blessings
Loved this video. I just purchased embossing stuff and ready to try. Thank you for the video.
Your Lettering is amazing! great video, thanks
Awesome tutorial! I love the black on black!
Your calligraphy is splendid.
Thanks for the tutorial! And thanks for linking everything! ❤
Your lettering is amazing! Thx for such a helpful video!
Thank you! This video was very helpful, I bought embossing powder by accident thinking it was pigment, but I am glad I did now.
Great video! Simple and straightforward, just what I needed. Thanks 😀
Seriously, this was helpful a.f.
Your channel has been a life changing thing for me as a graphic designer. Never have I taken my love for calligraphy or hand-lettering seriously until I found this and your site. I cannot wait to fall farther down the rabbit hole and mix media and I wanted to take a moment and thank you.
I like the way you just deal with issues and move on, very practical and reassuring
Good antistatic homemade : pour cornstarch in a silky tights or socks and brush your paper with it before inking the surface
Véronique A. I do this too!
Véronique A. Oooo
Someone in the U.K. who works for a big company who sells said to me once at a crafters event demonstration that it’s not necessary to use antistatic at all
Didn’t know this was a thing- just in an artsy mind and love it - very patient !!!!!!!
I just had someone ask me to do something, that I am going to need to use the pen technique for, so thanks so much!!!
Thanks so much for covering all the aspects :)
I know someone already asked the question, but the static powder would have helped with this. I am surprised you didn't use it. Also using a misti or tim holtz stamping tool for precision of stamping in the same location over and over would be useful too. I will note that your writing is INCREDIBLE!!! You clearly have skills when it comes to do the writing embossing.
This is so helpful. Thank you so much!
Am just getting into embossing. Thank you for the very helpful video.
Thank you for posting this video you are a great instructor.
U have amazing handwriting! No way would my handwriting look that good!
Wonderful work. Thank you.
WoW, you have fantastic calligraphy skills! I haven't tried embossing powder yet, new to card-crafting, but every time I watch one of these videos, I'm dying to try it!
You have beautiful handwriting! Thank you for your tutorial to get me started with embossing. You make it look so easy. ☺️
Hi. Thanks for the video has really helped me get started with embossing. I'm making some Christmas placemeats and am at the point where I'll be varnishing the placemats, my question is, I'm applying some snowflakes in embossing powder should I do the embossing first then varnish or is the embossing powder best left unsealed? Thanks.
Brilliant all to the point no waffle with clear helpful advise and teaching. Much appreciated thank you. Can I ask why you'd use the pot of ink rather than the pens. Is it cheaper to use a bottle of ink. A calligraphy course for use looks a good idea. Your work looks so professional and has inspired me to start embossing
Thank you
Such pretty penmanship
Beautiful handwriting
very helpful! Thanks
You have beautiful handwriting!! Unfortunately I don't lol. Could I print out a font and trace with the embossing pen?
Thanks. Helpful video. Embossing is always a mystery to me. The ones are awesome. How did you learn to do that type of calligraphy?
Your writing is beautiful
I failed the first try. I didn't put enought empossing powder. Nailed it the second try.Thank you for sharing.
Great how to, thanks!☺️
How long did you hold the heat gun up to the powder?? Thank you for this video!
thanks so much. Great hand writting
Liked and Subscribed! Thanks for the tips definitely needed this 101.Do you have any tips on Debossing? Is that something you can do with different techniques Or is that something you need expensive equipment for? Also does this only work on paper surface or can you emboss on plastic or metal? Is there a certain type of protective spray you put over the lettering to keep it looking glossy?
Very interesting questions. Sadly this thread is 3 years old, so nobody will reply: I will do my own research:D
I got a giant box of embossing powder for 50¢ and had no idea what to do with it and google wasn't very useful. Very informative video!
Where did you learn to do such beautiful writing?....brilliant...🤗
Hi! I would like to know any other pems which are used to write for embossing? Can we use calligraphy writing ink pens also for it?
Hey Becca! Awesome video! Makes me want to add this to all my crafting! Question, do you think this will work with using just a normal hair dryer instead of the heat gun? I am loving all these videos you're doing!!!
Unfortunately no- hair dryers don't get hot enough!
The Happy Ever Crafter I have had success with an iron. If you flip the page over and iron the back it gets hot enough
I learned a lot. Thanks much.
Thank you for this video
Going to try it
Is it necessary are to clean the stamp afterwards or does all the ink come of as you stamp? Seems very sticky. If so, what do you use? Thanks for the videos!
You have a very beautiful hand writing ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your techniques for three embossing methods. I have yet to begin embossing. You mentioned not using that heat gun for very long as it can cause some burning. Approximately how long did it take you to use your heat tool to mount the embossing powder in the three examples? TIA ♥️
If you keep the heat gun moving it helps then when the powder changes colour you stop, you will get used to how long. It’s very quick
9:59 I have no idea why I thought you were going to write 'Embalming' 🤦♀️ I think I've been watching too much 'Ask a Mortician with Kaitlin. LMFAO Great video 💙🐝💙
Made by a BEAutiful queen-Bea 🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
I thought the same thing!
Will a blowdryer work or do we need a heat gun?
Hello, what type of card did you use here? Is it any cardstock that can be used?
No, no, no, no, no, no! You hand wrote that?!? Give me a break! I couldn't do that if I had 1200 years of practice!!! 😫 You have such talent!!!
Do I have to apply the powder quickly? Will it dry if I let it sit too long, or is it alright for it to sit for a while? I’m embossing a book cover and it might take a while to write. I’m worried the ink will dry. Thanks!
Excellent video! Question, I noticed you don't use an anti-static "bag" and wipe the cardstock before stamping/writing. Is that not a necessary step? I've seen that done on other videos. Thanks!
If it helps you or anyone else, I just learned you can also use a laundry dryer sheet instead of that fancy bag!
The anti static "powder" is to help remove oils that the embossing powder will stick to. You can make an anti-static bag using cornstarch or talcum powder in a small lint-free bag (mine is made of muslin).
Beautiful thank you
Can we use the same methods in the video in embossing letters on glass surfaces? Can glue and embossing powder work together?
This video was so helpful! thank you so much!! One question, fellow Canadian here...where do you buy ranger pens and the zing powder?
WadUp5 You can get them Amazon!
I live in Ottawa and bought the Recollections brand at Michaels in Stittsville. They had a 50% off sale :) They work great! I got the heat gun 50% off as well.
Tyvm for sharing
does the brush pen fray as well?
How do you feel about the anti-static cling powders that help to not let the excess embossing powder to stick to the paper?
I haven't found one that I find works perfectly- I generally always have to go through with a paintbrush after and touch it up!
Gorgeous 💕. Thank you.💕👍❤️🙏🏻🌿🌎💕
Do you have any videos on creative handwriting? Yours is fantastic!
I don’t think she wrote it by hand...it looks like a stencil. Either way, I agree it looks good!
did you find her lettering classes? They are fantastic!
She has classes and teaches modern calligraphy. Check into it. Definitely worth the time and money, IMO.
Can you use this on acrylic for wedding invitations ?
I’ve never embossed before, when does embossing come into play? Like what do you use it for?
New to this art...
Question
Can this be done on glass and mirrors?
becauseHe1stlovedme I tried to do it in glass and it worked I’m not sure on windows though
so was that an actual blowdryer you used or do you have to use something else? would a blowdryer not work?
The embossing powder I have says to dampen the paper then pour the embossing powder. But no mattet what I do it either sticks just a littie bit to everything or all pours off. Do You have to be putting ink into you indent to make it stick before heating? And i used an iron lol but when I pour it off it all pours off. Is my indent not deep enough do I need to use a marker or certain ink? My bottle just says dampen surface

What type of paper stock did you use? Weight?
Can you do embossing on fabric?
Can i use this powder on polymer clay projects that are going into the oven?
Is it permanent enough to put on the outside of an envelope and mail?
Will this also work on a metal water bottle?
I used a bag with cornstarch in it that I bought at a local craft store. I wanted to emboss on red cardstock but it left a white film on the cardstock. Any ideas?
Is there a special paper to use for embossing?
I bought the red zing and I found it so-so. It doesn't look embossed as much as just glittery. Are the black, white, and gold better?
Ok but if my handwriting isn't as good?.. lol you have beautiful handwriting.
Thank you for the video this was very helpful.
Could I use technique number 3 with a stencil.?
Do you need a heat gun/? anyway around that??
Can I get your handwriting as one of my fonts? It’s stunning. Wow.
So helpful! Can you do this on wood?
You should be able to, yup! Depending on the type of wood, though, it may or may not show up quite as well!
What paper are you embossing on?
I tried 2 different white pen ranger and versamark on my white paper aquarelle and use the black powder on it and the powder doesn’t stay . I put some more powder on my word and its still the same. I don’t get it why the powder doesn’t stay. And i put a lot .
Can I do this on cotton shirts? Or can you show how to do it if possible?
Will it work on pleather?
Hi canwe use all purpose glue and hair dryer instead of gun and embossing ink in last technique
'emboss 101'
Pls tell thanks
Thank you
Can you do that on a stainless steel?
Well, I see how to do it but still dont know what is it. It looks like what I do with glitter and glue but why the heat gun? Is the end result like a plasticky look? Is it only done on paper?
Does embossing powder works on a stazon opaque?
If the powder isn't sticking is it the kind of ink pad im using
Can we use Blow Dryer instead of hear gun ??
