What is Heat Embossing

Heat embossing is a technique that adds texture and dimension to stamps, hand lettering, and more.  In general, you stamp or write with a special ink, sprinkle embossing powder over the design, and heat it to create the raised effect.  Embossing powders are available in many colors to create different effects.  You can get them in sets or purchase them individually.  Embossing powders come in super fine (for detailed designs) or regular.  My favorite powders to use are white, clear, and gold.
