This is the first embossing powder I have ever used so can't compare it to others but, this works great...and is easy to use....I love the end result on my cards and scrapbook pages....What a difference just a small flourish, flower, or border along the edge of a card especially if you make a scalloped edge makes the card look outstanding and so expensive...I also have used this with and emossing pen so you can create your own designs it really makes the page or card pop...........hope this is a product HSN keeps in stock...give it a try crafters you will be pleased.....I will be buying more today
