[Crafts] Heat embossing powder embossing, powder, Heat

Rainy

Hey girls, I bought the Martha Stewart heat embossing powder but I wonder if I must use the Martha Stewart heat gun and its embossing pad/pigment ink in order to have the heating effect?

Yea, I saw the emossing markers too.. but so expensive in Canada ><
In M's, I saw lots of embossing powders but I am not sure if I can use ALL of them for heat embossing lor... haha

The embossing powders are already meant for the heat embossing as far as I know of~
Correct me if I am wrong~

I think you can only use embossing ink for embossing powder~
Unless you do what I do, I like to buy embossing markers to colour in my stamp or draw whatever I want on the card~
Just cuz there aren't many varieties for embossing ink~ Mostly only tinted or clear~
Using markers that way will make the colours on your cards stand out a bit more I find~

So it really depends on what kind of results you want~

Rainy

and how do I know which embossing powder can be used for heat embossing? like any kind?

Rainy

Do I have to use embossing ink or pigment ink only?

I think any brands would work.
