Embossing Powders!

Hello everyone!  My blog post for My Cricut Craft Room has to do with using embossing powders on cards!  I used Doodlecharms and Paisley along with clear embossing powder for this cute little card!  I also used the i-Rock tool for the metal rivets of the basket!  I just love that little tool!

You'll see the clear embossing powder was used as an accent on the little red apples and I covered the green apple completely.  If you've never heat embossed before, remember a few things:

*The heat gun gets WICKED HOT!

*Use the little pull down foot when not in use!

*DO NOT LET KIDS OPERATE THE HEAT

GUN WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION!

*To prevent stray powder from getting heated,

use the little magic embossing buddy pad BEFORE

your stamp the Versa Mark

*(Embossing Buddy is a small "bag" filled with

cornstarch that you swipe across the paper)

I like to heat my images in a small, metal brownie pan.

 I also use a wooden skewer to "hold" my paper still. 

Heat embossing can be so much fun and adds just a different element to your cards, scrapbook pages and other crafty stuff!
