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.
as an added idea: you can stamp again with another layer of versamark and emboss for a thicker look, or if you are quick you can re-dip into the clear powder while the embossing is still hot. I did this method with some chipboard letters and numbers for a trifold I made for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, embossing seven times, and it looked amazing!
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!
Thank you for this posting. Many people have commented that you don't need the Versamark, this is indeed the case if you are using a Pigment ink which is slower drying, if using a dye based ink then this method is a good idea. Cornflower, baby powder or an anti static bag brushed over your cardstock will give you a clean finish without stay bits of embossing power.
That's really great. Very nice clean result for a single stamped image. However, if you then want to add any ink to the rest of the surface, any stray specks of embossing are going to show up as it acts as a resist.
Great tip... another method.... I use only my ink without the versamark...so I stamp with the color I want, then put it directly in the extra fine embossing powder and heat..vola. I get the same effect as you do but I skip the versamark...works for me....
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.
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.
Use the Versamark first, don't need to wipe the stamp. At least I never have in 20 years. Don't throw away your powders, give them away to a viewer. Several comments say ppl need them. No plastic spoon, conducts static!
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’m sorry this video wasn’t valuable to you, but many new crafters and card makers do not. Perhaps this video has more value for them. Thanks for watching anyway?
Jesus Becky now that’s just rude. Many crafters may not know the hack and will appreciate the time taken to post it. Women should be supporting one another not finding fault. Bring your manners next time.

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!

Thank you for watching. I have those bags, I just can’t with even a speck out of place!!! lol.
I've done this for years, but with just the ink pads, no Versamark. Great tip!
Fantastic!!!!!

Thanks for watching! Yes this technique is for single stamped images unless you aren’t too picky about the resist.
Oh I've known this for awhile. But thx for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching!
I've never embossed before, but I am going to give this a try! Thanks
Give it a go! It’s an easy and fun technique to add interest to your creations!
Brand new to the craft world and this looks so exciting!!
Welcome! I hope you find some helpful videos here! Enjoy!
Love the hack! I’m new to card making and appreciate the info, Please link the bulk heat embossing powder.
Good morning! Thanks for watching! Here is the embossing powder I am using. I am not an Amazon affiliate, I get no perks for sharing. a.co/d/dFJbi8p
Happy 4th to you too.🎉
That’s a great hack , thanks for sharing.
I’m going to try it. It makes embossing so much easier ❤
@@Ingeschannel yes it does! Thanks so much for watching!!!!
i love the look. i need to use my embossing goods more! great video.
@@stefh1161 yes! Bring back embossing! Thanks for watching!

Love this, I haven't done any embossing yet so this was perfect
Thank you so much 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!!!!!! ❤

Hi Lancaster Pa from Quarryville Pa 💖
Thanks Diann for sharing this great hack 👏🏼
Thanks for watching Megan!
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. ❤❤
So glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching!
YES, a great tip & "hack" to heat emboss in any colour!
Thank you so much for watching!
Awesome hack!!!!
Thank you!
great tip NEVER too hot to ride the bike!! We have brutal winter so any time I could I rode!!
Thanks for watching! I normally ride whenever I can, but this summer + hot flashes are really rough! Lol.
Sitting on our porch together. I might make a card or two. Have a great day, and thanks again!
Enjoy your day!!!! Sounds like a great plan!!!
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.

Good tip, thank you!

Good idea! Now I want to see how you make this lovely heart into a card.
Thank you for watching! I will definitely work on a video using that heart. :)
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!

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.
great idea
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
I do this! Thanks!
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 hack. Thank you ❤
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you
Thanks 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!
Genius!
lol thanks! Thanks for watching!
Don’t throw away give away.

It makes it so much less stressful doesn't it?
I was expecting some new revolutionary idea. This isn't new at all, been doing it years.
I’m sorry this video wasn’t valuable to you, but many new crafters and card makers do not. Perhaps this video has more value for them. Thanks for watching anyway?
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.
Jesus Becky now that’s just rude. Many crafters may not know the hack and will appreciate the time taken to post it.
