rubber stamp embossing

Okay, I'm probably the only person who doesn't know how to do this, but how do you use stamps to emboss on metal?

Emboss a few layers on your metal. (one right after another so it stays hot). Then on the last layer, 'stamp' your stamp into the hot EP. Let it cool for a minute or so, and remove the stamp. The image will be in the embossed area.

Hope this is what you were looking for.

Hi-
Another way to emboss an image on a hard metal (tag) is to just stamp the image with a pigment or (Versa or Top Boss), pour on the embossing powder, tap off and heat - being careful as the metal will get hot!

Soft metal sheets. You can dry emboss a bigger bold image (easiest) by laying a piece of the soft metal over your stamp and use your stylus to follow the image. You will be doing this blind as the metal is not see through. Also, it is sort of backwards as you will be pushing down the areas around the image rather than embossing the image itself (like you would with a brass template)
You will probably have to "fine tune" it off the stamp.

Hope this is of help.
