Technique Tuesday Blog Hop - Heat Embossing / Stamping With Melva

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop - Heat Embossing

Tuesday, 4 March 2025

Time for another Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. This month our theme is "Heat Embossing". This is one of my favourite techniques and I think it was the very first technique I learned!

I still am amazed by the magic of the embossing powder melting and creating this gorgeous raised glossy image! Who doesn't love that!

I created this "emboss resist" card using the Textured Notes Bundle which is an Online Exclusive that will be available starting March 4th! I love the entire Botanical Textures Suite and I know you are going to love it too!

Check out this pretty card in Basic Black, Real Red and Crumb Cake.
