  - A glue stick or spray adhesive.
• Glue: (A strong glue stick, i.e. Pritt or Double Sides Adhesive Roller/Tap Runner) ***

  - Substitutes for the Embossing Stylus: A bone folder, butter knife, or a non-working ballpoint pen.

* Recommend: 270+ gsm thick paper on templates and 176 gsm thick paper on decoration..

** The Transfer Method
Print all templates on regular printer paper. Trim the templates to the approximate size, and then glue the trimmed templates to the heavy cardstock paper (or thin chipboard). Your printed templates will end up on the inside of the finished item. Make sure the templates are well bonded to the card.

***
Use glue with a fast curing time so you don’t have to wait for parts to dry before continuing.
