Tip: • Prep your paper surface with an anti-static pouch prior to stamping and embossing. • Pre-heat your heat tool to help minimize paper warping. • Apply adhesive along entire perimeter of heat embossed panels, as well as placing some in the center; if you don’t have time to flatten the layer underneath a heavy book, this will usually eliminate the appearance of any warping. • If you forgot to punch a layer of paper before applying dry adhesive, you can neutralize it with an anti-static punch, to avoid gumming up your punches or other shape cutting tools or the paper sticking inside the punch. • Add dimension and interest to projects by popping up several elements.
