Because of the relatively thin line, they are also great for attaching small parts for card making

This is amazing. So far I've used it to add texture to my hot stamping and foiling projects. I suppose, given the relatively thin line it creates, they're also great for attaching small parts for making postcards, ordering scraps, etc. Tips: There are two ways to use them! The ink turns blue when it oozes and becomes transparent when it dries. Blue is for creating a permanent connection, while transparent is for a temporary connection. It will be later. Thermal Embossing: You can see in the attached video that it basically creates a taller line than using a traditional ink pad or embossing pen. These inks are relatively thin and the texture comes entirely from the embossing powder. If you use this glue instead it will add more volume, create more raised lettering etc. You can apply the hot stamping powder while the glue is still blue or when it is (temporarily) slightly dry and the powder will stick easily. Use your heater as usual, but watch out for bubbles! I noticed this a bit and I think it's because the glue didn't dry enough after applying the powder. Gloss: No Embossing Powder? No problem, just use regular glitter. The result is really clean, practically no chipping after roasting. Foil: I have a ton of reactive toner foil that I use often to work with my laser printer and laminator and have never used it for any other purpose until now. You can write or draw, sketch or outline whatever you want with this pen. Be sure to let the glue dry. If it's still blue in any area, your foil is just smearing the adhesive. You need it in a sticky, sweet place. Then simply place the film over the adhesive, wipe to stick and peel off. You can repair missing areas at any time with a glue stick or stick the film back on. As shown in the image, you can use this to add to an existing drawing or lettering project, or simply create your own. This is a game changer in the way I use foil sheets, much easier to use than decorative foil glue in my opinion.
