Gen Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I want to do some hybrid cards and I think Embossing would look great, but I don't want to use stamps. I was hoping to go over my virtual brushwork instead. I did embossing years ago, in a school craft club, but we just used the stamps and it's been awhile. I know you can get 'embossig pens' which I imagine would do something similar, but I was hoping to avoid buying MORE. Especially in light of my recent Scrapgirls shopping spree .

SodScrap Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Probably the easiest way is to trace the object you want to emboss with a glue pen. It will be sticky enough to hold the powder, the hit it with your gun!! Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinkerbell11 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 They make some really fine few, ball roller glue pens too! Have fun with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiles Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Years ago I read about a technique where you spread the embossing powder on the still-damp ink from an ink jet printer. That may have been when all anyone did was text, though, as it would cover everything. I never tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Showers Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I've done it with vellum. Actually I did it as a paper scrapper when I printed on vellum and it wouldn't dry fast enough. So I just sprinkled some embossing powder on it and pulled out my heat gun. It worked really well, I just had to be careful to keep my distance with the heat gun or I could warp the vellum.

Bride Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Great tips, gals ... I've got the ball roller glue pens on my shopping list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose Ann Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 You could probably just buy embossing liquid and use a really fine paintbrush to make your design. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bride Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 At JoAnn's ETC I found a product that looks like a magic marker called "Inkadinkado - Embossing Pen Stylo". It has a tip on each end - one is a 1.0 mm fine tip, the other a 3.5 mm dauber type tip. I like it because you hold it like a pencil (or regular marker) and have good hand control for tracing whatever lettering or brush work you are using on your card. It has a blue tint to it so you can see where you've marked. You then use the embossing powder and heat gun as normal. I have used it on a few cards and atc's and it works great!
