I was always captivated by the way the powder magically transformed. As I moved from rubber stamping into other areas of crafting, I forgot about my trusty collection of embossing powders. Then, last year I noticed more and more people posting videos on Instagram of them embossing things. There was that magic again, and I knew it was time to dust off my stash.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eI really love the look of bright colors embossed onto a dark surface, and with Halloween coming up I knew I wanted to pair black gift bags with orange powder. To see how I liked the combination, I began by simply repeatedly stamping a skull and crossbones onto a black bag. Though plain, it is still a special way to gift someone a few treats or perhaps a fall-scented candle. The same can be said for the skeleton bag, which I made a little unique by mixing two colors of embossing powders together. Using a more complex stamp really showed off the colors. Finally, on a third gift bag, I layered patterned paper with a strip of vintage images, which I made a little quirky by adding masquerade masks to. To make the masks pop, I dipped them in watermark ink and then embossed them as well.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eI hope seeing these inspires you to pull your powders out of your stash. You’ll quickly remember how fun embossing can be!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Free Projects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45452537397399,"sku":"PROJ-1217","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/5546\/3319\/files\/PROJ-1217__25534.1558411142.1280.1280.jpg?v=1746793966","url":"https:\/\/stampington.live\/products\/falling-back-in-love-with-embossing-by-christen-hammons","provider":"Stampington \u0026 Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
