How do I use Distress Embossing Powders? |
Distress
Embossing Powders are unique in the industry
since they do not give the typical raised, embossed look
and finish. When embossed, they have a matte, textured
finish. In addition, release crystals in the powders,
when heat embossed, cooled and lightly rubbed, will
remove some of the powder to create a weathered, worn
look.

What are Embossing Pearls and how are
they different than many other embossing powders? |
Embossing Pearls
have subtle coloring when viewing them from the jars,
but add them to paper, emboss with a
Heat It Craft Tool and that’s when they have a lot
of punch! Stamp an image with a
Big & Bossy
Embossing Pad on white paper. Sprinkle on Silver
Pearl, heat emboss and you have an elegant card. Cream
paper looks especially beautiful with Gold Pearl or Pale
Gold Pearl. And for a different effect, try embossing
with black pigment ink or on dark papers – stunning. |

What is UTEE and how do use it? |
Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (UTEE) is a large particle
embossing powder that adds dimension to paper, fiber and
decorative arts. It can be embossed on top of paper. One
layer creates a bumpy finish, more layers creates a
smooth finish. A stamp can be pressed into warm
UTEE for
a few seconds and removed to create an impression of the
image in the UTEE which can then be highlighted or
decorated with ink,
Metallic
Mixatives,
Metallic
Inkabilities or
Beadazzles.
UTEE can be melted in the Ranger
Melting Pot
to create jewelry or embellishments by dipping a craft
shape, piece of a CD, glass, shrink plastic into the hot
UTEE. Using Ranger
Mold n’ Pour,
a mold can be created of a favorite jewelry piece and
UTEE can be melted and poured from the Melting Pot into
the mold again and again to create additional works of
art. |
