  Step 1

  Assemble all your supplies. I have a custom-made 3.5"x" rubber stamp, an RSVP envelope, an embossing stamp pad, superfine embossing powder, and a heat gun. I also have a pantyhose foot with baby powder in it, which I use as an anti-static tool.

• 

  Step 2

  Rub the pantyhose over the surface you are going to emboss.

• 

  Step 3

  And press the stamp on your ink (or the ink on your stamp, if your stamp is large like this one is!).

• 

  Step 4

  Press the stamp down on the surface you are embossing; try to apply even pressure.

• 

  Step 5

  That will give you a nearly transparent impression like this one. Don't touch it, or else it will smudge!

• 

  Step 6

  Sprinkle embossing powder on the surface. I like to use a spoon and do it over a sheet of scrap paper.

• 

  Step 7

  Gently use your scrap paper as a funnel to coax the embossing powder back into its container.

• 

  Step 8

  Use a small brush to dust off any excess powder.

• 

  Step 9

  Blow the heat gun over the powder to set the image.

• 

  Step 10

  All done!
