Embossing Instructions

• Ink stamp with embossing ink.
• Stamp image (unless you have a tinted embossing ink you won't be able to see it very well
• will look wet).
• Sprinkle embossing powder over stamped image.
• Shake excess powder off card & back into embossing powder bottle.
• Heat with a heat gun until embossing powder melts. You should see a color change when it melts.
• Be careful not to heat too much or your paper will curl & burn.
• Don't waste time between steps. You have to put the embossing powder on before the embossing ink dries. Embossing inks are designed to stay wet longer but it's still a good idea to move quickly.
