No smell on scratch-n-sniff -- HELP!!

[codepink]

I have no idea what I might be doing wrong with these scratch-n-sniff cards. I've searched the forums for advice and done the right mixture. I've tried sugar-free jello, cocoa and hot chocolate, but nothing seems to work. No smell at all! Please help, I wanted to show this technique at my stamp club but only if it really smells.

TIA, amy

We just did this technique at the last workshop I attended. The instructions I was given was 1 part sugar-free drink mix to 3 parts embossing powder. I went to good ole' Wal-mart and found cherry, orange, and grape drink mix (great value brand) and mixed up a batch of the grape.

I used clear embossing powder. I stamped "grapes" with the sketch it set with the white craft pad and it turned out great.

Hope this helps!

Sugar free jello works the best..........way stronger scent than kool-aid.

Are you using the kool-aid in the envelopes?

I've always used 1 part unsweetened kool-aid to 1 part clear embossing powder. This works great for me!

HTH,
