What is embossing powder used in scrapbooking?

Answer

Embossing powder is the coolest thing. First of all you need a really wet ink pad, and a heat gun (like a blow dryer but hotter). Then you stamp anything you would like to emboss. Stamps that are very detailed are very hard to make perfect when embossing. once you have stamped, sprinkle the embossing powder on the image and tap the paper to let all the extra off, and heat the "sand" until melted. I do this for Scrapbooking all the time. I think every page of my scrapbook should have a little something that has texture or something that pops out or folds out. it makes people interact a little bit more with your finished product.

Great answer! I just used embossing powder on chipboard embellishments and they came out great
