Ranger EMP20653 Inkssentials Embossing Pens, 2-Pack, Black and Clear

This is just what I needed to complement the Ranger embossing powder I use, super fine Gold being my favorite. I was able to master the Ranger Inkssentials pen in a few minutes, allowing me to get clean thick lines and delicate fine lines. You can make a professionally embossed card that looks as good as any commercial product. The best thing is, it’s repeatable. We made a few dozen embossed gold place cards for a friend’s wedding reception, and every one of them looked perfectly the same. Since I use mainly Ranger embossing products and inks, it was a no-brainer to buy these pens (you get one black and one clear), but I was still surprised how creative you can be with them. They make embossing fun again.

Who knew? This is the perfect solution to that teeny-tiny, itsy-bitsy, oh-so-frustrating, little part of that darn stamp that didnt take! Guaranteed to reduce swearing by 20%, right off the bat! I know, amazing, right? And, wait for it...the price is better than I could find at any of the craft stores around here. Buy this, you will thank me.

I got into embossing, but I just used ink pads. I actually do like using the pens for finer projects. For instance, when I stencil, the product is great for tracing or coloring in stencils instead of using ink pads. It also helped with touch ups as well. It also allows for free form so I can emboss my handwriting as well.

It does exactly what its supposed to. I like that it comes in both clear and black. Reading the other reviews I was worried that the ink would dry out too quickly so I would powder right after I wrote a few words, but actually, it turns out that I could write several lines. As you may have seen on youtube/instagram videos, its best to prep the surface by wiping with an anti static cloth beforehand... FINALLY a use for my pile of mini cloths that I have accumulated over the years from screen protector kits :)

Im still figuring out the technique and all but the pen seems to work as it should. Much cheaper here than the one of found in craft stores. Happy with them so far

This pen is nice,but dries out to fast

Good for embossing. Love how easy it is to make custom designs. Good quality.

This is the only type of embossing pen I have used, but I really like it - its easy to use for hand-lettering projects.

I really have enjoyed these embossing pens so far. They have a good opacity and are pretty simple to use. They havent exploded on me like a lot of my pens, unfortunately, do, and I plan to continue using these pens in the future.

I thought Id love these pens, and that theyd be so helpful when embossing if I miss a spot, but sadly, I didnt open them until the return period was over, and one of the markers was dry...I dont mean kind of dry, I mean DRY. I hate giving bad reviews, but these are not a great product, if others come the way mine did. But then I also tried Rangers embossing ink pad and it was also a disappointment. Maybe they should stay out of the embossing arena until theyve mastered the products.
