Sweet Dixie Embossing Powder - SDEP 801

This powder combines metallic powder with bright glitter and features a specific granulation (A#11) for a higher raise and detailed finish compared to standard, fine-grain powders.

A standard heat gun designed for crafting or heat embossing is sufficient. Avoid using a regular hairdryer, as it may not reach the necessary temperature or provide focused heat.

While possible on some heat-stable fabrics, it's generally recommended for paper and cardstock. Test on a scrap piece first, as high heat could damage delicate fabrics.

Each pot contains 13 grams of embossing powder.

For a smoother finish with less raise, use less ink and a finer powder if available. This specific powder is designed for high-raise, so achieving a completely flat finish may be difficult.

Yes, you can layer or combine it with other powders for unique effects. Ensure each layer is heated and cooled appropriately before adding the next.

The embossing process fuses the powder. However, for maximum permanence and to prevent shedding, applying a clear sealant over the cooled embossed area is recommended.

Ensure your heat gun is held at an appropriate distance and moved consistently over the powder. Try a slightly higher heat setting if your material permits.

Apply ink precisely and sprinkle powder immediately. Ensure you're not overheating the area, which can cause details to blur.

Ensure the pot is sealed tightly after each use and stored in a dry environment. Moisture is the primary cause of clumping.

Apply a clear sealant or varnish over the cooled embossed area to lock the glitter in place.
