1. A method of preparing a paper substrate comprising the steps of:
a) providing an applicator comprising a housing comprising a top, a bottom, a height extending from the top to the bottom, an interior comprising a reservoir, the reservoir comprising a solid substance in the form of a powder consisting essentially only of kaolin clay, a removable lid, and a base opposite the removable lid and comprising a channel, the applicator further comprising a brush comprising a plurality of bristles extending from the bottom of the housing and in communication with the channel;
b) providing a paper substrate comprising oils and/or static;
c) holding the housing in a human user's hand and positioning the brush on the paper substrate;
d) allowing the powder consisting essentially only of kaolin clay to travel from the reservoir and contact the paper substrate and/or brush wherein in steps a)-d) said reservoir does not contain any substance other than said solid substance in the form of a powder consisting essentially only of kaolin clay;
e) using the plurality of bristles to move the powder consisting essentially only of kaolin clay about the paper substrate wherein said moving of said powder consisting essentially only of kaolin clay about the paper substrate removes oils and/or static from the paper substrate; and
f) heat embossing the paper substrate.
