Steps (6 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Use your favorite stencils to create the perfect design for any project.

    Begin by cutting a piece of cardstock to the size that you will be using for your project.

  2. 2

    Place the paper in the tray or on the sheet of paper to catch the embossing powder. Tape the stencil down so that it will not move. It also helps to cover other open areas of the stencil so that they do not get embossing ink into them.

  3. 3

    Press the embossing ink pad onto the open area of the stencil. Be sure to completely cover all of the openings. Use the corner of the pad to get into any small spaces.

  4. 4

    Pour some powder onto the inked area and remove the excess.

  5. 5

    Melt the embossing powder using the heat tool.

  6. 6

    It's now fun and easy to have the perfect embossed look for any project that you are working on!
