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.
Each pot contains 13 grams of Sweet Dixie Embossing Powder.
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.
It is a shiny, classic silver color with a brilliant, mirror-like finish that adds a reflective metallic sheen to your projects.
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.
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.
C#18 is a specific industry classification for superfine granulation, indicating very small, consistent particle sizes ideal for detailed work and a smooth finish.
Ensure the embossing ink is still wet when powder is applied. Use a generous amount of ink and tap off excess powder gently.
Hold the heat tool at a consistent distance and move it continuously over the powder. Avoid overheating one area.
Work in a draft-free environment. Use an anti-static pouch on your surface before stamping if static is an issue.
Confirm the stamped image is clear and the ink is suitable for fine detail. Ensure only the inked areas are covered with powder.
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.
