Constantly awed and amazed at not only your creativity but your GENEROSITY in sharing your techniques!
A tip I have learned embossing leather strips for cuffs and collars for my husband. 1. Roll your leather piece through your machine front to back to get a deeper impression. 2. To not have such a distinct line, do not let your leather roll through the machine at the end/bottom of the piece where the embossing folder ends. I roll the leather forwards then back 2x for the 1st run. Then over lap my pattern and offset the folder over the pad so that it is not so thick and always remove my leather from the top on the 2nd run. I usually feed through the leather 2 times. forward-back-forward-back then move the piece of leather. Hope that makes since.
hey, Carla! that is great advice! I will try that out :)
@@backtoearthcreations6 years later we are still happy that you made this video. i hope you are doing well.
Yvonne, for the long pieces of leather, get another matching template, and tape them together with masking tape that way you do not have a line break in the leather and can run it thru the machine in one pass.
You have blown my mind!!!!
I can't thank you enough for taking my hobby up a notch.
Hello, inspired by your demonstration, I utilize these embossing panels in a harbor freight 20 ton press I use for embossing work.
You are very creative.
EMBOSSING and DEBOSSING are the processes of creating either raised or recessed relief images and designs in paper and other materials. An embossed pattern is raised against the background, while a debossed pattern is sunken into the surface of the material (but might protrude somewhat on the reverse, back side).
oh, excellent! That is exactly the information I was looking for :) Thank you!
I perfectly understood the 'pokey uppey'. Thank you.
. one is embossing and the other is inverted embossing if you like
I like "pokey uppey" better. Hahaha :)
I liked the pokey upper description ... I call my knives Sticky Pokey 😃 of course that’s the technical term 😂
THANK YOU!!!
You were one of the first videos I could find (after more than a dozen tries) which clearly and easlily showed this process, and had both a pleasant demeanor and delivery method! I am going to be trying this at home really soon!
Can you hear that?! It's my wallet crying from the inspiration I got from your video Yvonne, lol! Thanks so very much for stoking the craft fire in my belly!!
When my embosser gets here, I'm going to hook my drill onto the handle to avoid the falling off issue, even if I have to 3d print an attachment 😃 I'm impatient too, so it's also for speeding it up 🙂😉
Thanks Yvonne! You're definitely one of my all time favourite craft and Jewellery making gurus! 💕🌸😊
2:10 the technical term for the "pokey uppy parts," is "the areas of releif." so in art anything that is i releif sticks out and anything that is depressed is pushed in.
Right on! Thank you for sharing!
That is sooo cool
I made my dad a hand tooled belt once with cows and desert and other western motifs
I really get the joy
So smart idea.
I'm not even kidding! This video saved me so much trouble. If I could give you double thumbs up if I could.
I have watched a ton of your videos. I love what you do. You are a girl after my own heart. I love the way you will just try anything, who cares what the warranty says. When it works, Yahoo! Keep on crafting, you do amazing things, and thanks for the videos. :)
Wow what a great hack. I use a hydraulic press for embossing chrome tanned leather, but the pressures involved require metal die plates. I would never have guessed that veg-tan would emboss so well with such a cheap and simple hobby machine.....and cheap templates. Going to try this out.
I wish I had access to that kind of machinery! Let me know how it goes for you :)
I wanted a press like that to put my family Crest on coasters. I could only afford a crank press though.
That leads to my question about centering on a coaster. Would you be able to tell me how I would do that and not have it move
@@WifeofaJer try wasabi tape to hold em still
Pokey uppey is also called “bas relief”. Raised works too 😉
Lol. Thanks
Thank you!!
This is literally the smartest shit I’ve seen all month! Thank you!
Right on!
Yvonne, just now seeing this! Love your videos. Its embossing (pokey up) and debossing (pokey down)... I think thats right but may have it backwards. At any rate, I'm sure you figured it out by now.❤
OMG I own one of those embossers and never thought about using leather, it is just amazing and it comes out beauuutifffull!. Thank you. You have a new subscriber here.
Thanks for the tip. I have an embosser that I dont use, i think I'm gonna try it out. Also u are so sweet. The way u talk and act is so cute🤗🧚♀️🧙♀️🧜♀️🧞♀️
I like your video
Love your idea. Will try it on my first bracelet project. Thanks for sharing. Will send you pictures even when I finish it.
ooo, right on! Happy Crafting!!
So cool! I've been trying to figure out how to do that. Thanks so much. And you're funny!
The pokey upside is the embossing side, because to emboss is to create a raised pattern. I’m seeing people on UA-cam calling stamping a depression embossing but it is not. Though you can use stamps to emboss. ….anything that is raised is embossed.
i like your idea, i work the leather but all my job is handtooled and it takes more time to finish one item . and im creating ideas in how to make them faster without losing its quality.
There are a few online videos on diy embossing folders...
Love the design
Loved the dog XD
:-D She is a good pupper!
Does it need to be raw leather? I upcycle leather from couches, jackets... whatever... so its already dyed, etc. Can I still use this method? Also, I have a Cricut Maker (2, not the newest one), which embosses, but you have to either create or purchase patterns, which isn't difficult, but a little more time consuming.
You're skill set is so diverse and so polished, I'm a little jealous! But only in the best way 💗 that's why I chose to learn from you! Thanks for all the amazing videos. I've watched you're whole master class!
Bhuahaha yes! Sponge lady is awesome oh you got me giggling! :D love your tip for embossing, I’ll be trying it out soon! :) thank you
For the swing clasps, look at Ohio travel bag. They are way cheaper than places like tandy, and the quality it just as good. Also a good resource for rivets and snaps.
pokey uppie = emboss (or embossed) indented= deboss (or debossed)
beautiful!!!
Thanks for the video! I will subscribe to see your leather dyeing techniques too!
hehe, thank Valerie! I hope to have more leather working videos coming out soon :)
you are adorable!!! keep going!
I just found your channel and I am so happy! I love your personality and your videos!! ^_^
Pokey upy=relief carving
I’m sure you know this by now, but the terms you were looking for are emboss and deboss.
Embossing is a raised design - a logo or other graphic image, for example - that is pressed into paper or card stock from underneath. Embossing requires two dies, a male and female die, thus creating more production steps and die charges. The raised area can have ink applied to it, foil applied, or it can be left unprinted/unfoiled. When an embossed area is not printed or foil stamped it is known as a blind emboss.
Creating an embossing die is usually a one-time expense. Ask your Metzgers printing professional for details regarding how involved your die will be, the time involved and the related cost.
Debossing is the opposite of embossing. With debossing, the imprinted design causes depressions in the material leaving a depressed (debossed) imprint of the image on the paper or cardstock.
Letters raised on metal plate. Debossing impresses a die into the surface of the paper material.
Thank you, Sherry! This is really good information! :)
I thought I alone thought of this with our cuttlebug! I only use 6oz or lighter vegtan. Its really hard on the embosser.
Right on! I've broken a few embossers :/
Love your enthusiasm. I hope to catch it. I'm searching for embossing faux leathers and Sizzix Texture Rolls and also the Kraft-tex I think it's called heavy duty and thicker materials. Most not nearly as thick as the leather you are rolling through today. But along the same principle. I do worry that for the faux or vegan materials the embossing won't stay even after you've run it 2-3 times through the machine and it looks deep and tight. It could loosn or relax or what have you. I'm going to play with it a bit more. I broke 3 of my 3D brand new dies running through with the Texture material and using what should not have been a too tight or thick sandwich and if I removed just one lighter sheet it wasn't embossing at all let alone cutting. So I increased and I managed to get my favorite through 3 times and then just like that not but changed nothing and when I forced it enough I guess it warped them out of alignment and wouldn't work no matter what else I tried. So I ran two more different embossing dies through and again on the very first run they came out warpped. One so bad it was curled up. Since they are expensive yeah I need to figure out another approach. Anyway I think the problem was not with the dies or the machine but with the too thick and very very tough material. I couldn't get a good clean cut with one of my other dies with an experimental product that's a shelf liner type material but it did kind of emboss. Btw I have seen some people have great luck embossing or indenting with the thin dies that cut but are thin enough they do not cut through the leather all the way but leave a great impression just the same and looks embossed. Check out another leather embossing with an embossing machine I believe they used a Sizzix though. I loved the hearts they managed to stamp into the leather using that technique. I have heard of embossing with a lighter sandwich thick papers too so I could see how it would work well with the properties of leather if not better. Thanks for your demonstration today. Enjoyed it a lot and picked up quickly your technique over lapping to avoid the lines between mulitple run throughs to get the full length embossed. Great tips.
Have a thumbs-up for "Pokey Uppy"!
Great Video, very informative :)
Yeah I thought that was the proper term for it. Who knew it wasn't
have you considered using a 3d printer to print your own patterns on to plastic backers? I don't know much about the materials, like if they would be strong enough to handle the pressing, but I've seen where they 3d printed a gun...so I'm assuming they can handle a fair amount of pressure/stress. You could even design the pattern so top and bottom match for easier lining up on larger pieces. I also just noticed this video is over a year old...so this may all be an old idea already for you :P Very cool tutorial though
pokey uppie = outset; pushie-innie = inset
I think is raised or indented! :) Thanks for the video! I loved it!
It's called the positive side (raised) and the negative side (recessed) :)
omg, thank you! I feel like such a derp when I am trying to teach and my vocabulary fails me lol!
Congrats...
Technical term for "Pokey upey" would be "convex." For indented, "concave"
Embossed and debossed I believe
Thanks! new subscriber!
heya! Welcome to my channel :p
Awesome
What's the name of machine?
I'm on my way to Hobby Lobby!
I learn some of the coolest things from you that I've never heard of before! You also make me laugh a lot! You gave me some great ideas on how to enhance some of the things that I do and I am very excited to try them. Have you ever used the Craftaid leather embossing tools through the machine? I can't seem to locate mine right now (I have crafts all over the house, and really need a dedicated room for them!), but I have a few of those.
Heya, Kelly! I haven't used my craftaids with the embossing machine because they are too wide to fit through; I guess I could cut them up....
I could try it with mine, if I could find the darn things! lol!
PREACH!!!
I found them - in a totally weird place that didn't make any sense at all! They are now safely in one of the drawers in my leatherworking chest. :)
I'm sitting here laugh-crying from pokie-uppy side. While my sister was teaching my nephew how to feed himself, he was discovering eating with a fork and spoon. We were on webcam together and, while I don't know what he was eating... something like soup probably, I hear my sister yelling from the back of the room... "No, Zander, that's the pokey....you need the scoopie!!" It's been a family joke ever since. So, Welcome, you've just joined the family with your pokie-uppies.
The pokey uppy is called IN RELIEF lol
It is called ‘pokey uppy’ design. I’m southern and it makes perfect sense it me
Yvonne could you show a finished leather corets you r making with the leather strips. thx
Awesome! To avoid that blank spot at the top and bottom of the embossing, could you trim that blank edge off the embossing plate? Cut the plate down to the start of the design?
Hey, Michelle! I have tried that and it still leaves a sharp line from the plate itself. Good thinking, though!
Hi I've just subscribed to your channel. Your tutorials are inspiring thankyou. For small pieces of leather could you use a pasta machine? X
What thickness of leather are you using? Your shop looks like so much fun!
here I am using 9 or 10oz leather, but I have done very thin leather as well; it works on any leather that will fit through the machine :) hehe, my work area is my happy place!
Amazing...pls where do we get the stencils from...Thanks
Have your ever tried making your own embossing plates? If so, do you have any tips?
heya, Shirley! I haven't but want to so badly!! That would be so nice!!
CONVEX CONCAVE ARE THE WORDS YOUR LOOKING FOR LOL
It seems to me that you can indeed win them all. Since this is your third machine, you should have plenty of those black plates lying around, so why not cut one of them a couple inches shorter and use that one whenever you need to overlap on both ends?
.. i love all of your videos! did you wet your leather first? I actually have a huge die cutting machine. IF you find dies for your little machine you can cut cardboard or thin plastic and you can make your own ( longer) embossing patterns for your corset pieces...
oooo, thats a very clever idea Ninja! I did wet the leather first; just a quick dampening; if you saturate the leather is squeezes a bunch of water out and makes a mess everywhere.
Hi Ninja! What kind of die cutting machine do you have? I'm looking around for some now, but not sure what will be most effective for larger surfaces.
Hi Yvonne, did you ever do a video on the dyeing process you mentioned in this video?
Hello, could you provide some insight on a method/"how to" curl leather (leather strips), for earrings? Thanks much!
I'd recommend experimenting with wetting the leather and letting it dry over a heater vent or warm hair dryer to set the shape. I hope this helps!
@@backtoearthcreations } Thanks Mucho!
Yvonne can o just emboss the leather and paint and antique it? Do I HAVE to tool it ?
Will this technique work for faux leather embossing? Any suggestions would be appreciate. Love your videos!
Hi Yvonne, why don't you just cut of the border around the templates? Then you loose that line (I think) . Greetings from Belgium!
what is the best glue to use on leather. i love your videos - always clear & easy to understand
Hey, Maria! It depends on what you are doing; I use a lot of barge cement, water based contact cement, fabric glue, and super glue. If I think glue may not be enough I go in and reinforce with stitching or rivets. I hope this helps!
You're so f*in cute, I can't even handle it... and super skilled 😊 lots of love!
Very interesting video. Thank you! Is there a way to get a custom logo made for this machine?
wow..
I hope thats a good wow! :)
yes, it is an excellent WOW.
it is*
Concave and convex convex is pokey uppy and concave is indented or pokey Iney
Embossed
At 8:42 you started talking about 'Sandpaper' then when you saw the "Embossed" leather... you stopped!! Just curious what you were talking about... ?
"Thank you" for such a great tutorial... how can I find out more about your corsets? I used to wear one when I was younger... They are so pretty....
Heya, Judi! I was talking about using sandpaper as a texture plate to emboss a gravely texture onto the leather :)
my website is currently under construction, but I have a video up here on youtube somewhere that shows how I make them :)
Yvonne Williams do you sell your stuff at a flea market or store?
Raised vs depressed😀
Where did you get your dyes for this machine?
Hey did you ever just try and use a Rolling Pin or Hammer?
Mike Rangel I haven't, but will give that a try!
Lol emboss is "poking up", deboss is sunken in. ;)
Hi Von, where is a good place to purchase leather for earrings? To cut with Circut. Thx!
can i emboss aluminum blanks?
Yes you can
what thickness or weight of leather is that?
Jesus Christ thank you so much!!
tap on pattern needed. do you have any 4 sale ? where to order?
Hey, Ralph! I don't have any for sale yet, but I am working on it! :)
you meant to throw that....XD
lol, sure I did ;)
No, wait, explain sandpaper, fully
Have you tried embossing thru a pasta machine with your leather ?
I am sure it would work, but I did not want to risk messing up the gear mechanism in my machine or getting polymer clay ground into my leather; if you're careful to not overstuff it I think it would work!
Where did you get the clock face embossing plate?
Pretty sure it is a Tim Holtz one or Ranger
