FAQs

What is Ranger Embossing Tinsel - Gold?

It is a fine, metallic gold powder that adheres to embossing inks, creating a raised, glittery effect when heated.

What else do I need to use this product?

You will need an embossing ink pad and a heat tool.

Can I use this with regular ink pads?

No, embossing tinsel requires specific embossing inks that remain wet long enough for the powder to adhere.

How much powder comes in a jar?

Each jar contains 1 oz. of embossing tinsel.

Is this product safe to use?

Yes, the product is acid and toxic-free, making it safe for arts and crafts projects.

How should I store the embossing tinsel?

Store it in its original sealed jar in a cool, dry place.

Can I use this on fabric?

While primarily designed for paper crafts, it may adhere to fabric treated with appropriate embossing ink, but results can vary.

Troubleshooting

Tinsel not adhering well

Ensure the embossing ink is still wet when applying the tinsel. Re-ink the stamp if necessary and reapply the tinsel.

Uneven or patchy melted finish

Apply a more consistent layer of embossing ink. Ensure you tap off excess tinsel before heating for a smoother melt.

Tinsel melting unevenly or burning

Hold the heat tool at the recommended distance and keep it moving constantly over the design. Do not overheat the same spot for too long.

Tinsel sticking to unwanted areas

Ensure only the intended inked areas are covered with tinsel. Tap off excess powder thoroughly before heating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds a professional, high-quality metallic finish.
  • Acid and toxic-free formulation for safe crafting.
  • Part of an extensive color and texture range for creative flexibility.
  • Simple to use with standard crafting tools.

Cons

  • Requires embossing ink and a heat source for activation.
  • Can be messy if not used in a controlled environment.
  • Tinsel particles may adhere to unwanted areas if ink is applied too broadly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

To use Ranger Embossing Tinsel, ensure you have the necessary supplies: an embossing ink pad (such as Ranger's Embossing Ink Pad) and a heat tool (like the Ranger Heat It Craft Tool).

  1. Stamp: Apply your chosen stamp with embossing ink onto your project surface.
  2. Apply Powder: Immediately sprinkle the Gold Embossing Tinsel generously over the inked area. Gently tap off any excess powder back into its jar or a separate tray.
  3. Heat: Using a heat tool, aim the heat at the powdered image. Keep the tool moving to avoid scorching. The powder will melt and become a smooth, raised, metallic design.

This product is compatible with most stamping inks and crafting surfaces. Store the embossing tinsel in its original jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent moisture and contamination. Clean any spills promptly.
