So I'm working on my invitation design and I love to emboss. I am planning on printing the addresses on the front of my envelopes because my handwriting is awful. I want to try and order a stamp of our address that I can emboss for the back flap, but I'm not sure if the post office will be able to read it (in case any need to come back) and for the RSVP postcard inside. Has anyone tried this?

If you use colored ink with clear embossing powder, it will come out clearer than vice versa.

Also... a neat trick I figured out this past weekend while making favor tags... the paper I am using is highly finished (metallic sheen) and does not absorb ink very well at all, especially since my printer is an ink jet (smudges).  So what I did was after I ran the tags through my printer, I threw clear ultra fine embossing powder on the whole sheet and heated it.  The effect was amazing, exactly like embossing but without the hassle of stamping each individual tag (I printed 24 per sheet of paper)... so that might be an option for you depending on what type of paper your envelopes are made of and if you have an ink jet printer.  Good luck!

Thanks for the printer tip! I will have to try and use that!

I was going to line plain envelopes with silver wrapping paper and then stamp with blue and clear emboss over it. I don't think I'll have metallic envelopes, but maybe I could try printing one on metallic paper, make it into an envelope and send it just so see if it works and then go back and get the stamp.

Thanks! I'm going to do blue ink on white linen paper so don't think I'll havea color problem. Thanks for the example. Can I ask where you ordered your stamp from?

I used an embosser (no ink) for the return address on my save the dates. I had one come back, so I don't think the post office had any problem reading the return address.
