Place the paper to be stamped onto the piece of scratch paper. Using a slow drying or embossing ink, stamp the images as required on paper or cardstock. Pour embossing powder over the stamped images and gently shake the paper to ensure that all the images are covered with powder.

Tip: Rubbing an antistatic product over the paper before stamping can help reduce any build up of static and this ensures a clean embossed image.
