If you click on the product photos of any of our acrylic stamps, the photo will zoom and below the photo, you should see a description labeling the photos as “embossed” or “imprinted”.
Embossed typically means “lifted up from” which in this case would be the fondant lifting up from the rest of the design. Imprinted typically means “pushed down into” which in this case would be the fondant getting pushed down into the design.
When you apply pressure to your stamp against the fondant, the fondant will quickly fill the spaces in the stamp that is carved out while pushing the rest of the design down. In other words, what changes from embossed to imprinted is simply the areas that are being pushed down or lifted up.
If you want a certain part of the design “lifted up” or “pushed down” and are having trouble deciphering this from the product photos, please contact us.
