Don't emboss on humid days, and I have a small paint brush to brush off the extra. I don't use an embossing buddy, but that's b/c I just never bought one.

I think the embossing buddy does makes a difference if I bother to use it...lol.
To get rid of stray powder before using the heat gun, I give a solid "flick" to the back side of the paper (holding upside down) to knock off the stray powder. Works great!

I do the "flick" thing too! It works great! Or just tap the paper behind the spot where its sticking too! I have never used the embossing buddy, but my demonstrator says that she doesn't find it very neccessary. However, if you are having huge problems, maybe it would be good for you?

Who cares it we making it up?
I have always used the "flick" method, too! However, for some reason, I have found that when I use VersaMark I have fewer "strays". Does this make sense to anyone else????
are you using SU! embossing powders? I think they are the BEST out there.
With an embossing buddy, a "flick" and SU! EPs, I have no problems with "strays".
I resisted the embossing buddy for so long and finally broke down and got one. It's really great and DOES do the job it was intended to do. I always wipe down the area I embosed with a swiffer afterwards. It picks up that white film left by the embossing buddy.
