Something NEW to try with the Spellbinders BetterPress LetterPress and more use
Heat embossing with the BetterPress plates
  1. Ink up the plates with an embossing ink pad on the BetterPress plate form, just as you would if you were using a colored ink.
  2. Set up paper on the plate and sandwich per machine instructions
  3. Removed pressed paper from the plate and pour embossing powder over stamped image.
  4. Heat embossing powder per powder instructions.
Recommendations:
  • Use a Superfine Embossing Powder
  • 100lb-110lb smooth cardstock is recommended (the ink stays on the surface better and you will get more coverage (sticking) with the embossing powder
Panel before powder is heated


After powder is melted

Happy Crafting!!
