3.Tap Off Excess and Heat |

-
Place stamp supplies on paper to catch excess powder. Using a clear pigment pad or pigment ink pad stamp, stamp image
-
Cover image generously with embossing powder while it is still wet. Excess powder can be returned to the powder jar to be used over and over.
-
Use heat source (emboss heat tool) not a hair dryer. Hold stamped image above heat source to prevent burning. Do not let paper touch heat source. Heat and watch closely as powder goes from Dull to Shiny!
-
Note: Heat tool should move around image and not stay in single spot area for more than 8-10 seconds)
-
Embossing powder will stick to any moist, freshly stamped image, but special slow-drying embossing ink and the pigment ink pads stay wet longer and make embossing easier.
-
Oils from your skin can get on the paper from handling it. If the powder sticks where you don't want it to, use a soft brush to remove it. A quick wipe with a used fabric softener sheet before stamping will also help to prevent static cling.
-
When cutting out an embossed image, do not cut into the embossed lines. This will cause the embossing powder to flake off
