If you’ve never tried heat embossing, let me tell you, it’s a pretty cool, not to mention versatile, technique. I’m covering the heat embossing basics over at Craftsy this week, and I think that you might be surprised by how little you really need to get started. Check it out, won’t you, and let me know if you decide to give it a try!

And if you’re looking for a quick and easy project to get you started, be sure to head on over and have a look at my recent holiday gift tag tutorial to see an example of one way that you can incorporate heat embossing into your paper craft projects.
