You have to have this pen if you like to emboss. I am so glad to add this to my list of "must haves' because of the fact that you can write anything and emboss it perfectly. Touch ups with this pen are also great. Definitely worth having.

Now you can emboss any pattern or design that you like or draw on your project.

What i like to do to highlight the images on my pattern paper is to draw over the image with the clear embossing pen, then use a transparent glitter like the "Sparkly crystal transparent powder by Stampendour" or "Range Holographic embossing powder" and highlight my image.

You pattern paper will look similar to the DCWV glitter pattern paper. However the embossing pen will darken your image slightly, so you might get a slight darker shadow around your image. But overall it looks pretty.

I was definitely excited to try these out. I am still playing around with them to get them to work for my purpose. What I wanted to do was emboss my handwriting exactly, or at least close to it. I found that if I wrote using my handwriting it didn't emboss really well, it was like my letters were too close together and didn't look right when I used embossing powder. I'm going to try using fine detail embossing powder and see how it works. I was also expecting them to have a more detailed tip to them, they are more like markers than pens. I really like them, I'm just seeing how I can get them to suit their purposes.

So I've had these sitting around for a good year without use. I took them back out again a month or so ago and played around with them. I found that I can use my stencils, coloring them in with the clear embossing pen (marker) and get a great result. For me, this pen (marker) gives me better results than I ever had even when stamping with Versamark. No lumps, bumps or unevenness. I did find out that I CAN emboss my handwriting, and well. You have to be deliberate, exact, and give space between each letter. I recommend practicing on scrap paper with the markers so you can get a feel for it. If you decide that you want to go over your writing a second time before applying the powder, you'll definitely want to make sure your letters are really wide apart. I found that it looks like crap if I go over it for a "second coat" before applying powder. Same applies for using cursive (do they still call it that nowadays?) So these markers and Distress Embossing Ink are the only embossing inks I will use.

Honest reviews on Ranger Inkssentials Embossing Pens, 2-Pack, Black And Clear

I got this thinking I could fill in certain spots where the ink didn't fully adhere to the paper and it would still be able to grab onto the embossing powder. It doesn't work. Actually it makes it worse. What I have instead is a pen that bleeds through to the other side of the paper (making every single one I used absolutely useless) and worse, it doesn't attach itself to the powder. I purchased this set because of the brand. I have many things by Ranger and I have always been happy with every purchase. Until now. The pen is also more like a marker... so there is no fine detail. Just broad strokes and that also was an issue. I am better off with a Sharpie than this pen.

Does not work like I need it to. Primarily needed for embossing finer details on paper craft projects, and it fails to deliver.
