Foil Embossing (also referred to as Hot Leaf Embossing) is a combination of both the Embossing and Foil Stamping processes. This can be done in two steps (as illustrated in the individual definitions of "Embossing" and "Foil Hotstamping"), or using a foil emboss, or "Hot Leaf" emboss die. A Foil Emboss Die can also be single or multiple dimensional. This process required both heat and pressure to push the design through the back of the paper into the foil and die at the same time. The resulting effect is a raised metallic image on the front of the paper.
