Tuesday's Tip at Ten- Preheat your Heat Tool

 

Tuesday's Tip at Ten: Preheat Your Heat Tool. 

Your Heat Tool always works best and faster when it has been on for a little while. So my suggestion for you is to run it on for about 30 seconds to a minute before you do your Heat Embossing, Puff Paint, and Stick Powder for Leaf Golding. Then they magic of embossing will happen right before your eyes! 

You can order the Heat Tool from my online store when you click here. 

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
