FAQs
What is the difference between embossing powder and glitter?
Embossing powder melts to create a raised, smooth finish, while glitter remains granular. This product is a unique blend that incorporates textured granules into the melt.
Can I use this with regular ink pads?
It is recommended to use embossing ink pads specifically designed to hold embossing powder until heated. Standard inks may dry too quickly.
How much powder is in each jar?
Each jar is labeled as 1oz, but the fill weight may vary slightly by color due to differences in pigment density and granule size.
Can I mix this powder with other colors?
Yes, you can experiment with mixing this speckled powder with other solid or speckled embossing powders to create unique custom blends.
What surfaces can I use this on?
This embossing powder works best on absorbent surfaces like cardstock, paper, and certain types of wood or fabric that have been treated with embossing ink.
Do I need a special printer or stamp?
No, you can use any stamp. However, the ink used must be embossing ink, which remains wet long enough for the powder to adhere.
Troubleshooting
Powder is not sticking to the ink.
Ensure the embossing ink is fresh and wet. If using a pigment ink, it may need more time to set before powder application.
Uneven or melted texture after heating.
Hold the heat tool at a consistent distance and keep it moving. Avoid overheating the powder, which can cause it to become flat or scorch.
Speckles are not distinct.
Ensure you are applying enough powder to fully cover the ink. Tap off excess carefully to reveal the speckled pattern.
