Heat embossing problem?
I'm learning how to hand-stamp and heat emboss my paper crafts. But after I stamp, there are stray black granules all around the stamped image from the embossing powder. It really looks awful and tacky. What am I doing wrong? Here's what I do: first, I wipe the surface I'm going to stamp with an anti-static sheet (regular dryer sheet) before stamping. Next, I stamp the image, then 'tap' the stamped paper, to knock of the excess powder. I use a paintbrush to brush away the excess powder. Finally, I heat emboss. But for some reason, I still end up with a lot of black dots of embossing powder all around the image and it's driving me crazy. It looks like I've spilled powder around the edges and didn't even brush any off.
Help please??? Thx!
The embossing powder I bought yesterday recommends dusting the area with cornstarch before stamping. I THINK that's what's in the anti-static bags. The guest on a segment I saw on TV last spring said you can wait until the ink dries (after applying the powder) and then really wipe off what won't tap off. Finally, are you sure the brush you use is clean each time? I know this problem us a pain; good luck!
