Just read a cool idea and this happens to me all the time. When embossing, I always end up with extra powder that doesn't get "shaken" or "wiped" off before using the heating tool. This results in having embossed powder where I don't really want it. Usually I am embossing on ink or something else that is either sticky or needs to be fully dried and I am impatient. ! So, use a dryer sheet to wipe your surface clean before stamping your image and embossing. You could also use the sheet to clean up any areas before using the heat gun. Just thought I'd share since this happens to me. Wish I thought of that before!

Good to know, Lisa...
I know the guy that was demonstrating the embossing powder used the static powder, but still used a little paint brush to brush away those stubborn pieces...
