FAQs

What makes this embossing powder 'ultra fine'?

The 'ultra fine' designation refers to the very small and uniform particle size of the powder, allowing it to pick up and render extremely intricate details from stamps and stencils with high fidelity.

How much powder is in one pot?

Each pot contains 13 grams of Sweet Dixie Embossing Powder.

Can I use this powder with any ink?

It is recommended to use this powder with specialized clear embossing inks designed to hold the powder until heated. The ink must remain wet for the powder to adhere.

What is the 'Silver Dollar Classic Metallic' color?

It is a shiny, classic silver color with a brilliant, mirror-like finish that adds a reflective metallic sheen to your projects.

How do I clean up excess embossing powder?

Gently tap the project over the powder pot to collect excess. For any stray specks, a soft brush can often brush them away before heating. After heating, any stray melted powder may be difficult to remove.

Is this product suitable for beginners?

Yes, while it requires some practice, its superfine nature allows for beautiful results. Following clear instructions and using good quality embossing ink is key for beginners.

What is the granulation size C#18?

C#18 is a specific industry classification for superfine granulation, indicating very small, consistent particle sizes ideal for detailed work and a smooth finish.

Troubleshooting

Powder not sticking evenly

Ensure the embossing ink is still wet when powder is applied. Use a generous amount of ink and tap off excess powder gently.

Uneven melting or 'popping' of powder

Hold the heat tool at a consistent distance and move it continuously over the powder. Avoid overheating one area.

Powder scattering before heating

Work in a draft-free environment. Use an anti-static pouch on your surface before stamping if static is an issue.

Lack of fine detail pickup

Confirm the stamped image is clear and the ink is suitable for fine detail. Ensure only the inked areas are covered with powder.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional detail capture due to superfine granulation.
  • Achieves a high-quality, brilliant metallic silver finish.
  • Uniform particle size leads to smooth and consistent results.
  • Enhances intricate designs with a subtle, glossy texture.

Cons

  • May require a very clear and crisp stamped image for best results.
  • Superfine nature can be prone to static or scattering if not handled carefully.
  • Best used with heat embossing tools; results may vary with other methods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure your stamped image is fresh and clear. Apply the embossing ink generously to your stamp and then press it onto your chosen surface. Immediately after stamping, generously sprinkle the Sweet Dixie Embossing Powder over the ink, ensuring complete coverage. Tap off any excess powder back into the pot. Once applied, use a heat embossing tool to melt the powder until it is smooth and glossy. Always use in a well-ventilated area.

Compatibility: This embossing powder is compatible with most clear embossing inks and heat embossing tools. It works best on paper, cardstock, and other porous surfaces suitable for heat embossing.

Care: Store the powder in its original pot with the lid tightly secured in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its quality and prevent clumping. Keep away from static electricity.
