| Technique A: Heat Embossing 1] Place your card stock in a Powder PalTM tray or over a large piece of scratch paper. 2] Rub the Embossing Buddy®across the card stock you want to emboss (this keeps the embossing powder from sticking anywhere but on the ink). 3] Stamp the image with Craft, VersaMark®, or embossing ink. 4] Pour powder onto the inked image, making sure that the image is coated completely. 5] Shake off excess powder into the tray and funnel it back into the container. 6] Heat the stamped image only until the powder changes to a shiny liquid and rises. 7] Allow embossed image to cool. Technique B: Emboss Resist 1] Follow steps 1–7 above, using Crystal Clear Stampin’ Emboss® powder. 2] Apply ink with a sponge directly to the paper over and around the embossed image. 3] Wipe the embossed image with a tissue to remove the excess ink. QUICK TIP: Avoid overheating the powder and burning the paper when working with a heat tool. | |||||
