Two questions

[jessrowe]

I have tried to search for this answer myself but I can't locate any information. I want to find out how to do:
1) Stamping on Fabric (someone mentioned stamping on hand towels and I'd love to try that)
2) Embossing on brads to make create different colors.

Any help or threads that I have missed would be greatly appreciated!
TIA!

I can answer question #2:
Grip the pointed end of the metal brad with needle nose pliers. Heat top with a heat tool. Dip hot end into embossing powder. Repeat if needed. That's it!

I,too, have an answer for number 2. I simply pinch with pliers as stated above, but I rub the head of the brad over my versamark pad first, then emboss once. Heat and dip in powder to create two or three layers. This helps "chipping" that sometimes occurs on embossed brads.

For stamping on fabric, I've heard that using Fabrico (not quite sure what that is) or Stazon will work.

I've personally done it by stamping on an iron-on transfer sheet with the regular dye inks. I cut out the image leaving a small border and ironed it onto the fabric. I used the Just My Type set and ironed little baby rattles onto some onesies! They were too cute!

As for embossing brads, I did this (using versamark and the powder) on an eyelet and it worked just fine...until I used the eyelet setter. It flattened out the embossing. I do get pretty dangerous with that hammer!

Good luck with your projects!

ON fabric I used the good old bottles of "puffy" fabric paint and used a sponge brush to brush it on the stamp. It didnt get puffy it just looked like you had stamped it with paint.
