Tricks of the Trade
Embossing heat - cut down on blisters
When heat embossing over paint sometime the paint will blister. If you allow the paint to dry over night this can sometimes cut down on the chance of the paint doing this.
Rubber stamping - random design
When working on a project which requires a random design sometimes taking part of the stamp off of the edge improves the look.
