You are so pleasant and happy. You make me feel so good.

[@HedgehogHollow]

Thanks so much Nancy :-)

[@CarolHeld]

Super tutorial Alexandra. Thanks for the information today.

[@tessr.1000]

I totally agree with you about the Ranger pad, I threw my in the trash. I didn't have a stamp placement tool and stamping it repeatedly was awful. UGH! Love how the Nuvo pad embosses!

[@lindab8563]

Thank you! This review was very helpful. I didn't realize there was so many kinds. I am excited to get my box so I can try the Nuvo one.

[@georgesgentry5835]

Thanks for a great comparison. Love your tutorials.

[@Kat-fg3qw]

Thanks a bunch... I was thinking about ordering Nuvo. Now I well.

[@tessr.1000]

I love that funnel. Maybe that could be in a future box (hint, hint), lol.

[@HedgehogHollow]

Hint taken!

[@nancyreynolds]

Thank you for the comparison - very good information for us to have. I really enjoy your videos. :-)

[@elainebrydon5236]

[@michelegourd5742]

[@pattiepan]

good review and I learned something useful.........thank you............pat

[@CraftingWithTheHeart]

thank you for sharing.

[@tessr.1000]

I can't wait to get my Box with the glue pad in it. SO HAPPY! Question: I purchased the 3 month subscription back in January, will it automatically renew or do I need to do something? I want my boxes to continue as I love everything you choose and your videos that go along with the box are so fantastic. Please let me know. Thank you SO much!!!

[@HedgehogHollow]

Hi Tess, yes it rolls over on your anniversary. Best wishes

[@tessr.1000]

Yes!!! So I don't need to do anything? Awesome Sauce!

[@sunnicherry]

Hi, You mentioned using a dryer sheet on Black cardstock, do you mean an unused or used dryer sheet? Thanks

[@HedgehogHollow]

Unused and preferably unperfumed x

[@anne_mairecrotty2807]

I’m find it hard to heal the emboldening power .it does melt . Can you help me .

[@colinshandraw2202]

Does anyone know of nuvo embossing ink pad have a refill ink or do u have to keep buying ink pads?

[@fionnawheatley9095]

Hi Alexandra! Thanks for this tute! Was really good. A couple of questions : were all the embossing pads inked up for the video, or were they just “as are”? Secondly I noticed that the areas, which weren’t great were all in the same place, roughly the double ss part. So surely the stamp platform may have something to do with it? Many thanks. Fionna

[@HedgehogHollow]

Hi Fionna, these were just out the drawer how i use them every day; it may need extra pressure or stamping but overall I would stand by the outcomes and my preferences :-)

[@introvert22]

This was very helpful. I have had trouble embossing and wonder if my powder is the problem? Does embossing power 'go off?' I have Versa Mark but haven't had much luck. I think I will try one of the top three you mentioned. Thanks from California.

[@HedgehogHollow]

Hi Mary, no powder doesnt go off, the glow in the dark ones fade if you dont keep them in the dark but thats all

[@janicestanton5292]

LOL can tell the age of the stamper when Versa mark is the only embossing ink. The we're embossing inks before Veramark. Original marketing was as a watermark ink

[@HedgehogHollow]

lol, I was about 8 and I remember my mum bringing home versamark its all i ever knew!

[@joannefinn307]

I ordered Versa Mark and got Ranger. Anyways Ranger smelled like Cinnamon oil and made my ard stock oily. Very disappointed. Seemes not too much on offer these days

[@MaryMoisan]

Good review, but I was looking for a glue ink pad review, not an embossing ink pad review.

[@sophroniel]

Why can't you just use ordinary paper glue to emboss?

[@ElizabethSulaven]

I have the same question too @HedgehogHollow

[@Sierra0209]

pourquoi cachez vous les marques d encre quand vous comparez les embossages noirs ? les marques sont cachées
