Textured Embossing
Embossed Business Cards Printing Tips
There are numerous techniques to print business cards nowadays. Each and every one of them have their unique characteristics, use different materials and printing finishes. In this article we'll take a look at Embossed Business Cards and point out a few tips.
First we need to understand what exactly embossed business cards are. Embossed Business Cards are like the Aston Martins and Jags of business cards, reason why they are more expensive. Using a technique called thermography that creates a raised or a "sunk into" print effect and adds a high standard texture at the same time, allowing the card to have clean simple and stylish design.
It is important to note that despite the fact that embossed cards use thermography to create that lifted effect they are not thermographed-printed cards. Thermography is only used on the final printing stages of embossed business cards, it can be considered as part of the printing finish of these cards.
Thermographed-printing and foil block printing will be discussed in future articles, so make sure you check back if you want to learn more about these techniques.
The Design
Designing an embossed business card doesn't require any special technique what so ever, you could even turn your current business card into an embossed one. Simply select the areas that you would like to create that raised print effect and contact your local printer to do the job. (change to gemini when posting on their blog)
But it is always good to refresh the look of your business and your cards, to show your customers and competitors that you are in constant evolution and up to date with the latest trends. So contact your local printer and ask if they can print embossed business cards if not there are hundreds of printers that do so, simply do a search on Google or any other search engine about it to find various places who can design and print your embossed business cards.
Still on the design, embossing is good for company logos or any other information that you would like to "stand out" on your card.
Costs
Why adding an embossed effect to your cards make them more expensive? It is worth noting that this printing technique is rather antiquated, it's basically a block that stamps the card with ink or a dye. What makes it expensive is the creation of the stamp, which has to be shaped with your company logo or any other information that you want to "stand out".
Now you know everything there is to know about embossed business cards you can go and find a professional printing company. But always remember to ask for a sample before using them, many printers are more than pleased to send you a sample of their work.

What is the difference between embossing powder and flocking powder?
I watched a Youtube video and it looked like you use the same technique with the clear ink, but i don't see the difference. Is embossing powder just more shimmery. It looked like from the video that the flocking powder (with it being black) looked like velvet a bit. I know that it is fibers from felt, but i still don't get the difference between the two as far as the look of it, texture, and purpose. Please explain this to me. I am a beginner at stamping. Thanks 
Welcome to the world of stamping!
Flocking powder is velvety. It produces a raised, soft velvet effect. You can use it s an outline for something fuzzy like a teddy bear image or for flowers and grasses or anything you want to add a velvety texture to. You will find flocking powder adhered to the base of hard decorative objects too, so they won't scratch the surface they sit on. Flocking lines velvet boxes as well.
Embossing powder produces a firm, hard and glossy line. It is also raised but there is nothing soft and velvety about it. I use embossing powder to produce raised edges on stamped images. It makes a lovely sentiment for a card:

I find embossed images a lot easier to paint or colour as I definitely know where the edges of the image are, fro example. But embossing powder can be used for a number of different things. You can make faux metal with it, for example:

These are just a few ideas. Do try out embossing powders and flocking powders and play with them. You will find your own favourite techniques and enjoy them your own way Have fun!
