Emboss like a boss. Derived from the Old French word embocer, signifying a lump, bump, or protuberance, embossing is a technique wherein you create raised patterns or letters on paper, whether by applying pressure to create indentations (dry embossing) or by applying material directly to the paper’s surface and drying it (heat embossing). All-in-one embossing kits include all you need to get started on custom cards or seals using a particular technique—inks for etching designs, powders for making them pop, and embossing tools like stamps, plates, antistatic pads, and sometimes even a heat gun.
