heat and stick powder

[kyloescards]

How do you apply the heat and stick powder? Can you just stamp in versa mark or other pad and pour it on or do you need something else, then just heat with your embossing gun?

I just use versamark, but I don't see why you couldn't use other inks. Craft pads might work better than classic since they're juicier. I use my embossing buddy on the paper, stamp in versamark, pour powder, shake off excess, then heat with heat tool. HTH!

yep! you would use it just like any other embossing powder - you would need a craft pad. I try to use the same shade as the glitter that I am adhering to the heat & stick. for example if my goal is to get a glitter effect with dazzling diamonds, i use the silver ink pad - this way if there is a 'hole' in the heat and stick or the glitter, you are seeing silver rather than a stark white spot.

does that make any sense at all?

thanks - I guess I will have to add it to my list of "needed" supplies

I just got some and LOVE it!! It's wonderful for a bigger stamp or when you want LOTS of glitter!
