* Paper: As long as it's not too delicate or thick, you can emboss any kind of paper you want. Card stock and vellum are popular choices.
* Embossing Machine: EmbossingOnly'>die cut machine.
* Platforms and Pads: Protect your stamps. After stamping your paper with a rubber stamp, sprinkle some embossing powder over the impression and brush the excess away.

Once the ink powder begins to look glossy, remove the heat and let cool.
