How to use your embossing heat gun

Embossing heat gun is the perfect tool for embossing all kinds of arts and craft projects. Embossing heat gun is very easy and fun to use when you want to emboss glitter on cards and posters.

You just need to follow these simple steps:

Create a wet image with an inked rubber stamp or an embossing pen

Whilst the ink is sticky, sprinkle embossing glitter powder over the entire area. This step must be completed quickly as the powder can only stick to the ink when still wet.

Remove excess powder by tapping it back into the container.

Using the embossing heat gun, carefully apply heat to the entire area covered with embossing glitter powder. If possible, direct the embossing heat gun from underneath but ensure the heat is constantly moving to prevent over heating or burning the paper.

Once heated the embossing glitter will melt leaving you with a lovely raised finish of the shape created with the ink.

Once melted, remember to leave the paper for a few seconds to solidify.

Embossing heat gun should be lightweight, portable and have several settings for easy application and a perfect finish. Smaller and lighter embossing heat gun makes them easier to hold which is essential for fiddly pieces of paper or card. Compact embossing heat gun directs the heat more precisely resulting reducing the risk of burning the paper.

There are plenty of embossing glitter and stamps to choose from. Glitter could include metallic colours, pastel, opaque, glow in the dark, pearlescent, fluorescent, primary and many other embossing glitter colours.

For professional and stylish cards, you can buy sets of stamps and blocks to help you create lovely embossed designs. From animal shapes, floral designs, flowers, butterflies, textured or weaved, border strips, vintage or damask pattern for all types of cards and stationary designs.

To complement your glitters, stamps and embossing heat gun, you can also use your embossing pen to write your own special messages on the front or inside of the card. And even on the envelope.
