If you're a crafter who loves heat embossing, foil accents, or a little sparkle, then say hello to a total gamechanger in your toolkit: Ranger Sticky Embossing Powder. This clever little product adds a whole new level of versatility to your embossing routine - and once you try it, you'll wonder how you ever crafted without it.
What Is Sticky Embossing Powder?
Unlike traditional embossing powders that dry hard and glossy, Ranger Sticky Embossing Powder is specially formulated to melt into a tacky, adhesive surface when heated. This means you can use it to stick down:
- Foil sheets
- Glitter
- Mica flakes
- Leafing flakes
- Fine flocking powder
- Or anything lightweight that you want to stay put and shine
It turns your stamped image into a sticky surface that holds onto these finishes beautifully - no need for messy liquid glue!
How to Use Sticky Embossing Powder
Using it is simple and works just like regular embossing powder - with one key twist:
You'll Need:
- Embossing Ink Pad
- Sticky Embossing Powder
- Heat tool
- Foil, glitter, or desired surface material
Steps:
- Stamp your image using a clear embossing ink.
- Sprinkle on the Sticky Embossing Powder, tap off excess.
- Heat set it just until it turns clear and sticky (don't overheat or it will lose tackiness).
- Quickly press on your decorative finish (foil, glitter, etc.) while it's still tacky.
- Gently rub or burnish the surface to make sure your material adheres.
- Brush off excess - and voila! You've got a stunning, customized design.
