Supplies:
Peg stamps of your choice (I like the “mini” size best) https://pegstamps.com/peg-stamp-sets/
Versamark ink pad: https://pegstamps.com/versamark-watermark-stamp-pad-cube-pad.html
Pigment inkpads (optional) https://pegstamps.com/versacolor/
Sealing Wax
Crayons
Colored or glitter hot glue
Colored Embossing Powder
Clay (air dry of polymer)
Inclusions like pressed flowers, string, skeleton leaves etc...

Directions:
*Before beginning generously coat your peg stamp with clear embossing ink (Versamark.) If you wish to add any inclusions like string or pressed flowers place them on your envelope before beginning. Kids should have help for a parent with this craft.

Sealing wax or crayon method:
Use a lighter to melt sealing wax or a crayon color of your choice over your envelope where you wish to have your seal. While the wax it hot press the peg stamp in the wax and let cool with the peg stamp in place. Remove.

Hot glue method:
Squeeze a blog of hot glue on your project and press in the stamp and let cool as before. Remove stamp when cool.

Embossing powder method:
There is a few ways you can do this. If you have a melting pot you can pour melted embossing powder on the envelope and stamp into it. You can also smear some embossing in on your envelope and melt layers of embossing powder to create a molden area of embossing powder to stamp in. The most reliable way I have found is to mix the embossing powder into a dab of hot glue and then reheat it with my heat tool and then stamp as we did with the hot glue method. This is also a great way to color plain hot glue!

Clay method:
Condition clay and roll into a ball. Flatten into a disk on your work surface and press a pigment inked stamp into it. Let the clay dry or bake it according to clay directions if using polymer clay. Glue seal to card.

Hand deliver or mail in a bubble mailer.
