Chandler Tool Embossing Heat Gun - 300 Watt - Dual-Temperature Professional Heat Tool - for Embossing Shrink Wrapping Paint Drying Crafts Electronics DIY (Blue) Review:


Okay, so I was afraid to buy this because of all the poor reviews, but I discovered that the critics were misusing the product. To be fair, though, the instructions do not specifically state where or how to utilize this embosser. You CANNOT leave the plastic cap protector on it after using it since it could melt. Before using, the transparent plastic cap must be twisted off and a screw on the clear cap (yep, the one with the sticker) unscrewed. It will present a fire risk IF you keep it on. I have no idea why it's screwed on other than to warn you that the tip is hot and that you should exercise caution when handling it and refrain from touching other surfaces. I hope this is useful because the embossing tool does a great job of turning my embossing powder into lovely paper accessories!

Ranger EMP20653 Inkssentials Embossing Pens, 2-Pack, Black and Clear Review:


These pens work well for embossing fine details, scribbling or drawing your own designs, and repairing any nicks or scratches in larger embossed pieces (craft tweezers anyone?).These pens were my first buy when I began dabbling in papercrafts about 8 or 9 months ago. At the time, I was unaware that I required some sort of anti-static powder instrument, thus all of my attempts to use these were a complete failure. These pens were almost thrown away while I was organizing some of my creative storage bins a few days ago because they were still brand new and not even slightly dried. I had a few panels of dull experiments lying around, so I decided to try these pens again and see if I could liven up some of those panels. Results this time were fantastic. I've included a photo of the first object I tried the pen on. It was a dry-embossed and watercolored henna design, and it was dull boring dull. The piece was intriguing enough to mount on a card when I used the clear version of this pen to emphasize a section of the raised design and added some embossing powder to it.I have observed that the ink in these pens dries a little more rapidly than the ink pad appears to, which may be because the ink coating applied by the pen is much thinner and finer. If you are doing more than a few words of text, you will need to pause, heat emboss in pieces, then powder once more before you do each section. The image I've included was created in eight to ten pieces. I firmly believe the endeavor could yield outcomes that are worthwhile. Since then, I've used these pens extensively, embossing a variety of details (by the way, using this pen on the highlights of your Altenew flowers instead of using an embossing inkpad results in a crisper, clearer image), and the pens are still in good condition. They appear to last for quite some time.In the past, I've tried this method using glue pens (such as Quickie Glue Roller Pen, Zig Squeeze
