Apologies if this has been discussed before - I'm new to the group - but can anyone tell me how to remove excess or loose embossing powder before I emboss a card? TIA, Jen.

Plus, before I stamp, I always pounce my cardstock with ...what IS that thing called? ... it's a little pillow of powder, I've heard the contents are actually diatomaceous earth (hi, Pat!!). Anyway, use that first, and lots less of the e.p. will still be stuck where you didn't want it after you give it that tap that wave jumper recommended.
HTH, Alison

Try rubbing the paper/cardstock/whatever with a dryer sheet before you stamp the image.

Hi Jen,
All of the tips so far have been good. If you use the dryer sheet method (I do), be sure to use a *used* sheet, as the ones right out of the box may leave an icky residue on your paper.
Sincerely, Risible

Hi. (-:
Look, an actual question about stamping!
I was beginning to think everyone had given it up and gone on to other things ...

Yup. I've just about given it up, and haven't found anything to go on to. I have 6 images that I stamped and painted about 5 weeks ago, still sitting on my worktable waiting for me to come and turn them into something. Poor little lonely images :-(
