Tuesday Tool - Stampin' Up! Embossing Buddy (Only Emboss The Area You Want!)

Good Morning Everyone! Today's Tuesday Tool is the Embossing Buddy. Everyone who is into paper crafting should have one. Okay, I have two:) With the embossing buddy, you can apply glitter or embossing powder to your project neatly only to the areas that you want. No more unwanted flecks of glitter or powder sticking everywhere.

Features & Benefits

• Removes static that causes unwanted flecks of embossing powder to stick to your work


• Approximately 3" x 1-1/2" anti-static fabric pouch


• 1 oz.


• Works great on all kinds of paper and other surfaces

FYI

Rub the Embossing Buddy gently over surface you will emboss.

Rub a little on your hands before you start to remove any moisture that might be transferred to your project.

Rub the Embossing Buddy over the surface of a bold-image stamp to help it accept ink evenly.

This punch has become one of my all time favorites because of how versatile it is. I used the Neutrals and Subtles Designer Series Paper Stacks for my box base and I embellished with ribbon and Candy Dots. Not only were they easy to create, but they can also be adapted for other occasions! See the tutorial below to make your own,

Scalloped Tag Topper Punch Easter Treat Boxes Tutorial

1. You will need a a piece of Designer Series Paper at 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and the Stampin' Up! Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. (Note card stock will not work for this as it is to thick to go in the punch when folded.)

2. Score the Designer Series Paper at 2", 4", 6", and 8".

3. Turn the Designer Series Paper and then score at 2".

4. Cut the scores at the bottom of the designer paper and then cut off the end tab like this.

5. Fold the designer paper into one stack.

6. Insert the stack into the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and punch.

7. Your designer paper should now look like this.

8. Use adhesive to assemble the box.

9. Use ribbon or a brad to close it in place.

10. Now here is the fun part! Decorate it however you like!

Happy Stamping!
