How To Stamp

Frequently Asked Questions & Answers

Clean your stamps with warm soapy water or use Grimeboss wipes for a quick and easy solution.

Pigment Ink or Perfect Medium are best and will stay moist longer for your powder to stick to.

An Anti-static pad will help prepare your surface for embossing powder and will stop any particles going else where on your project before heat setting.

To help stamps give a good clear image on projects, always use a clean stamp, ink it up and stamp onto some spare material first. Use a stamp press to ensure an even coverage.

Use masking tape or mask-it sheets to cover areas of stamps you don’t want to print.

Hints & Tips

  • Small stamps are great for creating borders, backgrounds and patterns, use different colour inks to create stunning effects.

  • Heat embossing gives an incredible result, but don’t forget to use an anti-static pad to prevent the embossing powder from spreading into unstamped areas.

  • Clear embossing powder is extremely versatile. Use it to create resist effects by stamping in clear, heat embossing in clear and then misting or inking over this area to reveal the resist effect. It can also make a lovely gloss effect.

  • Triple embossing in clear over stamped images will give you an amazing, almost ceramic effect.
