Embossing blocks are tools used for creating raised designs or patterns on various materials, such as paper, leather, or fabric. They typically consist of a design or pattern carved into a surface, which is then used to press the design into the material. Embossing blocks can be made from various materials such as
Magnesium,
Brass,
Zinc , rubber, or acrylic. They are commonly used in paper crafting, such as scrapbooking, card making, and journaling, to add texture and dimension to a project. The pressure from the embossing block transfers the design from the block to the material, leaving a raised, 3D effect.
