You can just stamp with any ink pad and you don't need to also stamp with the VersaMark pad. The clear embossing powder will stick to any ink, it doesn't need to be embossing ink.
@@TheRowdyRavenNC That's why I keep reinkers handy. I also use the Ranger ink refresher spray. I know some ladies but just spray water onto their ink pads.
No matter how careful I am with wiping the stamp off, I wind up with ink on my versamark pad - so I have 2 - and marked clearly “DIRTY” and “CLEAN” so I don’t confuse the two!
Once you stamp with your color try dipping it in the embossing powder without stamping with the versa mark. It should work, it work with the inks I use anyway.
Great tip and very much appreciated. I’ve been trying to find where to buy more powder colors. Since I can’t find any in the stores around where I’m located this was much needed. ❤❤
Hi Diann, new subscriber here. I love this hack, I’ve been using it for several years now. I agree, it’s a game changer! Looking forward to upcoming videos.
The only way it would work with glitter is if you stamped with glue…and I don’t think that would be good for your stamps. I’ll check into this and see if there’s a way to make glitter work…. Thanks for watching!
I think it depends on the climate where you live. I’m in Arizona and I find that no matter how prepped I have my powder, water based inks dry too quickly to achieve consistent coverage and blow off the paper unless heating only from the opposite side.
YES, a great tip & "hack" to heat emboss in any colour!
Thank you so much for watching!
Great idea. I tossed most of my colored embossing powder years ago for the same reason.
Thanks for watching! Up until now I loved the effect but was not fond of the execution.

Thanks for the tip! I think it depends on where you are located. Some of my inks dry too fast for adding embossing powder!

@@99zanne I haven’t had any transfer even after my pad is dirty, but having two is genius!!!
Great idea!! I’ll have to do that.
I do the same, I've got 2 ink pads as well 🙂
SAME!
great idea
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for that one!!
Thank you for watching!!!
OMG terrific thank you
You're quite welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the great tip.
Thank you for watching!
I love this technique! I use clear and have always been less than thrilled with the results. Using a stamp positioner is a real game changer. TFS!
Thank you so much for watching!!!!!! ❤
Brand new to the craft world and this looks so exciting!!
Welcome! I hope you find some helpful videos here! Enjoy!
I've done this for years, but with just the ink pads, no Versamark. Great tip!
Fantastic!!!!!

Thanks for the tip! I do believe it matters what type of climate you’re in also! :)

This is a game changer!

If I'm using versafine ink, I don't bother with versamark after. Just the ink is good with embossing powder.
True! Thank you so much for watching!

Can you please tell me where you purchased your clear embossing powder in bulk? Thank you for your time.
I got it on Amazon. It’s just clear WOW embossing powder. I will add the link when I get home from work!
Great tip. Ruth down under
Thank you so much for watching!
What a game changer!🎉
Awww thanks for watching!
Why not just use an anti static bag? Works every time for me. This seems a lot of extra messing about .
I’ve never had any luck! I still get random stray pieces, but if it works great for you, then that’s awesome!
You really don’t need to use versamark with powder will stick to the colored inks
It depends on your climate also. I like a nice thick coating of embossing powder too.
Don’t throw away give away.
Good idea! Thanks for watching!!!

2 words: HOLY SHI💩!!!!! TYVVVVVM!!!
@@marshanotmarcia7433 so glad I can help! Thanks so much for watching!!!
Way too long of a video just to see a heart at the end!
I used the heart because you could clearly see the heat emboss effect on camera. I’m sorry you feel that way.
I have always done it this wa
It makes it so much less stressful doesn't it?
