Can you believe the strawberries on these cards are scratch -n- sniff?
Watch my video below to see how I did it and to hear about a kit that I am offering this week!
So I just had to try this technique with the Sweet Strawberry bundle and Berry Delightful designer series paper (dsp). It worked so well! You need to mix clear embossing powder with a flavored sugar-free gelatin in a 2:1 ratio. That means you want twice as much embossing powder as scented stuff. I used 1 tsp Stampin’ Up! clear embossing powder and 1/2 tsp sugar-free Jell-o brand gelatin along with a fairly new Versa Mark ink pad and it worked perfectly.
As I was researching this technique, every video I watched using Stampin’ Up! Embossing powder (not all embossing powders are equal), Versa Mark ink, and sugar free Jell-o worked. Several sources said that you could also use sugar-fee Koolaid, sugar-fee pudding, or cocoa. I haven't tried those yet, but I know that a chocolate cupcake card is in my future!
