Embossing Powders — Add Dimension, Sparkle & Drama

Turn every project into a showstopper with our embossing powders, the ultimate tool for texture, shine, and wow-factor. From classic metallics that glimmer in gold and silver, to shimmer powders that catch the light at every angle, our opaque colors for bold, vibrant impressions, and glitter-packed blends for sparkle that can’t be ignored—there’s a powder for every creative mood. Easy to use, insanely versatile, and endlessly fun, our embossing powders elevate cards, journals, mixed media, and more from “nice” to knock-your-socks-off.

BASIC INSTRUCTIONS

Embossing powders (EPs) are used in conjunction with a heat gun that melts the powder onto your surface, (most surfaces work great)
stamp with a pigment ink pad or watermark ink pad, sprinkle EP on image, remove excess powder & heat until melted, (but not more than that)
pile powder on any surface that you can sneak a heat gun underneath, (no inks needed), heat from below
use water instead of an ink pad to create patterns, sprinkle EP on them, remove excess and heat until melted

Our transparent and opaque embossing powders have additional mica that sometimes likes to "halo" on paper. A few tricks to help prevent this are:

Make sure the card stock/paper you use has a flat coating, (rather than a more fibrous or textured finish).
Wipe your surface with a dryer sheet (bounce, etc) before stamping.
Use a dusting cloth (like swifter) after you emboss & the embossing powder has cooled
Try heating the embossing powder from underneath to prevent the powder moving as you heat it.
