Rubber Resist:Rubber Stamping into HOT Embossing Powder

Hi Stampers!

Sorry this took so long to post…..life ya know?!?

Below you will find the videos from yesterdays FB live ( they are split in two, internet issues mid video) AND I also did a clean version of it and put it on YouTube, you can watch it below as well.

A few tips for making a successful impression:

Use RUBBER stamps, Photopolymer can be damaged by the heat ( I was not taking chances by ruining any, if you’re daring, let us know)
Get a freshly inked up Versamark pad, you will need it to emboss and to stamp your rubber stamp in to protect it
I HIGHLY recommend using “The Boss” which you can buy by clicking the link, it is an Incredible tool to make your Heat Tool so much easier and better to use.
old Cutting Board and Tin Foil, this will help your layers of embossing heat and smooth out faster and more evenly
Reverse Tweezers, they can help hold or pick up tiny things if needed, I will have a link to one similar to what I hav below, this one is cheaper and FREE Prime shipping ( it is an image link)
If you”squiggle” the stamp when you put it down on purpose, it does not really add to the image, it seems to work better with just setting it down. BUT if you ” squiggle it a bit when putting it down by mistake, it did not seem to mess up the image. You will understand better once you watch the video.
Use THICK Whisper White paper to emboss on, it will make them hold up better

I foresee lots of these in the future, you can die cut them afterwards and they look pretty cool. You can die cut and then emboss and stamp as I did with the cross and rectangle.

You can mix powders if you’d like: Mixing a color and silver looks really neat!

You can reheat and re-stamp if you mess it up, it is really a VERY COOL TECHNIQUE!

What will you create? I would love to see some of what you did here on the blog in the comments!

I will create some cards with these above images and post them at a later time!

Until next time,

Stay Crafty!
