Scented embossing powders add a bit of fragrance to a project. They work in the same way as normal embossing powders, however after heating they retain a distinct whiff of something sweet and interesting! They can be found in a range of colors and fragrances and are a good way to add something a little different to a stamping project. The colors generally reflect the fragrance, so brown for chocolate, red for cherry etc. As the scent wears off after a couple of weeks scented embossing powders are best suited to projects such as handmade cards. When using these powders to make cards then leave the embossing to the very last moment so that the lucky recipient gets the full scented benefit!

Scented embossing powders can be found online from companies such as Cornish Heritage Farms and Gel-a-tins.

If you fancy having a go at making your own scented embossing powder there is some useful information at the DIY Network. There are also some interesting discussions at SplitCoastStampers with stampers sharing their experiences of making their own scented embossing powders.
