How to Heat Emboss Metal Sheets

How to Heat Emboss Metal Sheets is our topic today at Add a Little Dazzle. Most of us know how to heat emboss on card stock, but many don’t know that you can actually do this with metal sheets. The process of heat embossing is not difficult but when working with metal sheets there are some extra steps you need to follow to get the desired look. Join me today as I share the feminine version of Horse Frontier Stampin’ Up! Card Idea and teach you how to create this beautiful background in today’s How to Do video at Add a Little Dazzle where we specialize in combining metal sheets with paper crafting to offer you a unique crafting experience.

In yesterday’s post, I showcased the masculine version of the Horse Frontier Stampin’ Up! Card Idea. Heat embossing the metal sheet created a beautiful rustic background on this card. This is a very easy technique but there are some steps you must follow to get the desired look and to not burn yourself. Our steps are easy and you can create a beautiful card.
