Re: Embossing101 please!

a hair dryer is not hot enough to heat the embossing powder up enought to melt it. You need an heat gun...like this



Hope that helps!

You can use a hair dryer (worked for me) but you have to make sure the hot setting in on. It really depends on your hair dryer heat output.

Re: Embossing101 please!

Most of the embossing powder will blow away. the embossing tool should only be about $20. I can't remember but I don't think chalk inks work very well.

You need stamp- dump powder, remove excess powder back into jar, and wave heat tool a few inches where you will see some excess powder blow away. I just wave the tool back and forth until you see the image begin to raise.
