Embossing powder is a fine powder used in crafting to create raised designs on paper and other surfaces. When heated, it melts and forms a solid, glossy finish, adding texture and dimension to projects. It is commonly used in scrapbooking, card making, and other paper crafts. To use embossing powder, you first apply an adhesive, such as embossing ink, to your design. Then, sprinkle the powder over the wet ink and shake off the excess. Finally, use a heat tool to melt the powder, resulting in a beautifully embossed effect that enhances the visual appeal of your creations.
