Embossed Gift Tags and Cards How-To
1. Wet rubber stamp on the glycerin pad and stamp a card. Working over a piece of paper to catch the excess, pour embossing powder over the card until the entire image is coated. Allow to sit for several seconds, then tap off the surplus powder. You can use this process to emboss a gift box or the cover of a journal, as well.

2. Turn on the heat tool and point it directly at the stamped design. At a distance of 2 inches, move the heat tool over the image until the powder is uniformly melted. Allow to cool for 30 seconds.
