I was at a crafting store a couple of months ago and saw a demonstration of a heat gun/embosser, so naturally, I just had to have it!
Here's the one I received, made by the wonderful Martha Stewart.
Now, to use this with stamps you will need a couple more items:
A watermark stamp pad
Can't wait to use it again!
And some embossing powder.
I also have these handy craft trays used to catch the extra glitter/embosser powder/etc., so it's easier to save the excess and put it back in the bottle.
To use the heat embosser with a stamp, place your stamp in the watermark stamp pad and place on paper. Then, dust the damp area with the embossing powder.
Hold the heat gun a couple of inches from the paper, so the powder will start to melt together.
The gun worked faster on the second stamp I did. Guess it just needed to warm up!
And voila! Here's the finished product:
It didn't take too long to dry.
What craft toys did you get for Christmas??
glad you could put that to good use
