Step-by-Step

1. Ink your rubber stamp using pigment ink color (even clear!), then stamp onto paper. Try stamping onto gift tags, note cards and envelopes.
2. Choose an embossing powder color and sprinkle generously over the wet ink.
3. Pour off the excess embossing powder (put back into embossing powder container to re-use) to expose your stamp design.
4. Using the heat embossing tool, move slowly across your stamp design melting the embossing powder. This will create a raised, glossy or sparkly stamp impression. True magic!
