@Tinkertinkbell Sure. Give it plenty of time to cool & make sure whatever glaze you're using is compatible with polymer clay. (Sculpey makes some glazes specifically for clay, or Future Floor Polish also works well.)
@Ruchine10 Hair dryers tend to have higher air flow and lower heat than embossing heat guns. If you're not careful, the hair dryer will blow the powder away. Still, it doesn't hurt anything to try. Good luck!
@ThebloomingLily1 It depends on the embossing powder. In my experience, some brands of powder will emboss in the oven at polymer clay temperatures, while others seem to need that directed embossing gun heat. I'd say give yours a try and see what happens!
@craftygoat I tried it in my oven but the stamp image distorted, also i want to know the brand of embossing powder you use cause my powder melts the powder but not the glitter in it but it is called embossing powder.
wow...O.O thats one big stamp

@craftygoat okay thanks and what brand of polymer clay do u recommend?
Ruchine10 1 year ago
@Ruchine10 I prefer Premo, but Kato and Fimo also tend to be good brands. I avoid Sculpey III because it tends to be brittle after baking.
