1] Stamp image with VersaMark® or Craft Stampin' Pad.
2] Apply Heat & Stick powder to the inked image. Shake off excess powder onto the Powder Pal or a piece of scratch paper and funnel it back into its container.
3] Heat image with the heat tool just until powder turns to liquid. Do not overheat.
4] Pour glitter onto the inked image, making sure that the image is coated completely.
5] Shake off excess glitter as described in Step 2.
6] Heat again briefly to set.
QUICK TIP Our Powder Pal is an excellent alternative to scratch paper for saving excess powder and glitter. It also makes cleanup a snap!
