    I think someone mentioned a video of 'how to emboss' earlier, is it possible someone would post a link to it
    Many Thanks

    Hiya, I've just had a search on google for "How to do Heat Embossing" and found this video on the docrafts website (you have to sign in to watch it)

    http://www.docrafts.co.uk/asp/video/view.asp?id=1&pid=0&q=0&shop=0&item=0

    There's more info to be found but that is what I found for you so far - HTH, qs x

    Hiya fellow cardmakers, hope you're all OK... I started my card last night but encountered some "technical problems" with my equipment (I know, 'workman blames tools,' lol). It was a bottle of ink that did it. Admittedly it was an old glass bottle of ink, 10, maybe 15 years old :eek: that refused to open! I battled with it for ages and in the end I got a hammer (I was desperate!) and............ tapped the screwtop lid and, it opened! Phew! This was Black Indian Waterproof Ink I'm talking about so the consequences (for my carpet and furniture) could have been disastrous.

    ..But then I encountered some other 'technical' problem with the piece of work I was doing so will be redoing it today... still having fun tho'...:D

    How are you getting on with your embossing Polly?

    What challenges have there been so far? Has there been a Thank You card challenge yet?:confused:

    Or as we're heading for the warmer weather, a spring/summer theme? :cool:
