CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK (#46) PREP YOUR SURFACE PRIOR TO EMBOSSING/GLITTERING

Hello Bloggers!

This week's tip is designed to help in your embossing & glittering endeavors.

If you do not currently own an embossing buddy there is something else you can use that you may already have on hand to help remove static cling during your crafting process.

It is a DRYER SHEET!

Remember that one of the reasons we use dryer sheets is because it helps to reduce static cling.
When we emboss or use glitter the small, fine particles sometimes tend to go in areas we don't want them to. Using something that helps eliminate that static cling makes these two techniques easier to execute.

If you find yourself in a pinch where you don't have an embossing buddy or can't find where you put it, try a dryer sheet.

It will ensure that next time you are embossing or using glitter on your images the embossing powder and/or glitter only sticks to the surface you embossed or placed your glue on.

A little side note, if you want to remove embossing powder or glitter from a surface after the fact just use a thin paint brush & gently brush it away.

Happy Crafting!
