Happy Monday! Welcome to the Labor Day edition of Money-Saving Monday. Today is more of a tip, but if it’s done, it may save you having to redo your project several times, thus, absolutely saving you money in the long run!
When heat embossing, I have found that it’s SUPER helpful to gently rub the paper that’s about to be stamped, with a dryer sheet first. Then stamp and pour on embossing powder as usual. When you tap off the excess embossing powder, the dryer sheet’s anti-static properties will keep any excess powder granules from clinging to your paper where they’re not supposed to. Once you heat, you will have a nice clean image, with no “strays.” An added bonus…your craft space will smell great!
If you have any money-saving tips or tricks you would like to share, please email me using my contact page. Your tip and blog may be featured on a future edition of Money-Saving Monday!
Happy Scrapping!

Wonderful idea. I have one of those little bags filled with some sort of powder.
Fantastic Tip Amy. And I am all for my crafty space smelling so fresh and clean.

Thanks for this info! I'm going to give it a try. I ALWAYS end up with heat embossed strays.
TFS!
