Glitter and embossing powder are not the same thing. Glitter is little, reflective particles of material that provide texture and colour to any crafts creation. Embossing powder is a meltable plastic compound that is used to provide a raised texture and a three-dimensional impression to the surface of your design, which is typically papercraft.
Embossing powder is available in a variety of colours and sizes, including extra-fine, standard, and ultra-thick. There is also glow-in-the-dark embossing powder available if you want to be really imaginative.
Glitter comes in a wide range of hues, making it a popular crafting material for a wide range of crafts. Depending on the type, glitter may have an uneven texture or provide a shiny, reflective surface to your creation. Glitter is commonly thought of as a fun material that can be added to almost anything - it works on paper, wood, plastic, and glass.
The embossing powder application adheres the powder to your project with embossing ink. The embossing powder is then set by applying heat to it with a heat gun. Glitter adheres to your project using an adhesive, such as glue.
Embossing powder can be applied using either an ink stamping method or embossing ink. After inking the surface, sprinkle embossing powder over it to make the ink and powder cling together. Collect any surplus powder before applying heat to your embossing powder to solidify it.
Glitter and embossing are both a lot of fun and can make a big difference in a project. I use inexpensive glitter, so I don't think brand matters all that much, but keep reading to find out why you might need to pay a little more.
Glitter comes in various granule sizes ( I guess that is what you call them). I prefer the extremely fine glitter, but it would depend on the subject. I've seen some amazing shaker cards made with coarse and sculpted glitter.
Heat is required for embossing powder. Any heat that does not damage the card on which it is placed will work to attach the powder to your project. The simplest approach to heat the embossing powder is to use special heat guns. Heat can also be applied to your project by holding it over a toaster. (Be careful not to hold it so near that it burns you or scorches your paper.)
Once you've created the design you desire for your card, cover it with embossing foil paper. After that, neatly sandwich the card and foil between two pieces of baking paper (in some countries it is called parchment paper). Once it's in place, run it through your laminator like you would any other piece of paper. Avoid using laminate.
Glitter is a lovely addition to any craft. Embossing with glitter is the act of stamping ink onto a project and then coating the wet ink with glitter to create a glittering, textured effect. You can use fine glitter to make your own stationery, invitations, and scrapbooks. Embossing is a simple, enjoyable craft that the entire family may participate in.

Dry Embossing - Also known as "relief embossing," dry embossing is accomplished by tracing a stencil with a stylus to create a raised design. Heat embossing ink is a thick, slow-drying ink. To create a raised pattern, embossing powder is dusted on a stamped design and melted with a heat gun.
Glitter and embossing are both very popular. Embossing, in particular, because there are so many different ways to generate an embossed impression. I've tried a few other techniques to emboss now, and my most recent buy, the We R Memory Keeper Foil Quill, is my absolute favourite, and I was overjoyed when I finally bought it.
Whatever glue you use from this part, dusting glitter over the regions where you have placed the glue and shaking off the excess is required. You can buy glitter that has already been suspended in glue. This is usually sold in bottles that you can either squeeze or spray on.
Embossing and debossing are techniques for producing raised or recessed relief images and designs in paper and other materials. An embossed pattern stands out against the background, whereas a debossed pattern is buried into the material's surface (but might protrude somewhat on the reverse, back side).
