    Thanks for doing this video! So apparently embossing enamel is completely different from embossing powder! Learn something new every day! Love your card Melissa!

    WOW!! That card is beyond beautiful, and I love the raised control splatter. What a great idea. I just love Make it Monday, even when I don’t have time to create, I learn so much! You guys are awesome! (Really hope I have time this week to try this out!, although I don’t have any embossing enamel so will have to get creative)

    This might be my favorite of all your videos, Melissa! Absolutely stunning creations! I have several bottles of the enamels that I never think to use & love the results you got! Wondering how it doesn’t fly off when you use the heat gun–can’t wait to try it!

    Disappointing. How do you keep the embossing enamel from flying all over the place when you hit it with the heat gun? You skipped that part in your video.

      Hi Ginger, Try heating it from underneath your cardstock instead directly over the enamel powder if you are having trouble with the enamel powder blowing around. I hope that this helps you!

      Hi Ginger. Perhaps my gun isn’t as powerful as yours?? I don’t have that problem. You could try heating it from the bottom up, meaning heating it from underneath.

      I used dots of glycerin to grab the powder. Or, if you have the Happy Trails stamp set there are two little ink splatters in it. Just use with VersaMark ink. 😉

      I have thought of a solution for you and anyone else having trouble with their embossing enamel flying away. Try a glue pen…applying dots of it where you want your enamel to land, then sprinkle on your enamel and it should stick while using your heat tool.

    Beautiful card. Thanks for reminding me about embossing enamel! I took a class years ago where we used a white chunky embossing enamel from Stampendous to mimic falling snow. We were told to initially heat the embossing enamel from the bottom because is stopped the enamel from moving around. Once it started to melt a little it was okay to heat from the top or the bottom.

    Love, love, love your videos. I also enjoy listening to your sweet voice. It is so soothing. I purchased some of this embossing enamel when I saw you using it this past Christmas season. Thank you for another idea of how to use it 🙂

    Hi Melissa! I thought I was doing something wrong because I continue to struggle with my splatters and spritzes. (Is that a word?) Whether it be water, ink or paint, I either get a little too much or less than I want. I like that the enamel can be controlled. I definitely will give this a try. I went on an enamel hunt when you first mentioned it and it’s still available. Thank you for the tips on your (always) lovely, lovely card. 🙂

    Son’t those embossing enamels blow away when you use the heat gun on them?

      I didn’t have that problem, and it could be due to different types of heat guns. I have thought of a solution for you and anyone else having trouble with their embossing enamel flying away. Try a glue pen…applying dots of it where you want your enamel to land, then sprinkle on your enamel and it should stick while using your heat tool. Hope that helps you a bit.

    Thanks Melissa for the tip on the “chunky” embossing powder!! I ordered some in different colors from Amazon. Got one (shabby pink embossing enamel) today in the snail mail and finished up my card for your challenge. I love the look. Your card is stunning…love all the layers and soft color palette! ?
