Embossing powder is the coolest thing. First of all you need a really wet ink pad, and a heat gun (like a blow dryer but hotter). Then you stamp anything you would like to emboss. Stamps that are very detailed are very hard to make perfect when embossing. once you have stamped, sprinkle the embossing powder on the image and tap the paper to let all the extra off, and heat the "sand" until melted. I do this for Scrapbooking all the time. I think every page of my scrapbook should have a little something that has texture or something that pops out or folds out. it makes people interact a little bit more with your finished product.
Great answer! I just used embossing powder on chipboard embellishments and they came out greatI don't know about making the original powder, but you can combine clear embossing powder with glitters to create your own glittered embossing powder. See some examples at www.scrapdiva-tina.blogspot.com
Hot embossing involves the use of special glue, powder, and a heat gun. A special glue is put on an object in a pattern. It could be letters or a shape. Then the embossing powder is put on and the excess part that does not stick to the glue is shaken off. A heat gun is then used to melt the powder.
There are a lot of places that sell the powder so that you can do the embossing yourself. However, if you want to have a company do it for you, the best place to go would be Everquest.
Companies that offer best deals on embossing powder are those who sell in bulk. You can buy those at craft stores like Stampajolla , Rubbernecker Stamps or Joann's. The larger size are good for black, white and clear. Metallic embossing powder goes bad after awhile, it becomes dull so you may wanna stick with the smaller jars for those colors.
