Hello all, Monica here today to share a project I made to the December theme…
I decided to try something new (at least for me) and heat emboss on a ceramic tile. I could use a little more practice and work on the details, but I still like the way it turned out. I wiped the surface and added some anti-static powder, even though powder stuck where I didn’t really want it too.
I tried to carefully wipe away as much powder as I could from where I didn’t want it. I then started to heat it up with my embossing gun. The heating portion did take longer than it does on paper, since I’m working on a tile. I finished it off by adding a piece of cork on the back to protect any surface that I may lay it on.
I tried to get close up, so you could see the sparkle from the embossing powder. This is a lot of fun and I think I know what I’ll be making for some gifts in the future!

I like that you’re stretching yourself–I’ve never done embossing on tile, but this would be fun to color with sharpies or copics!

I’ve done stamping on ceramic tile with Staz-On, but never knew you could emboss. I was wondering if the tile was glazed (i.e. shiny), and how well the embossing stayed put once you heated it. Really neat look at any rate. Tfs! 🙂 ~ Andrea
