This was so difficult and I was scared it would tear up my grand caliper. I sprayed the cardstock like it recommended and I am giving this product a 3 out of 5 because of the difficulty in using it. It did leave a perfect impression after I finally got it out but I will never use cardstock with this again. I sprayed the cardstock and made it damp and put it in the embossing folder and put the raspberry plate on top and it truly wore me out trying to turn the grand caliper's handle to move it forward but it was very difficult and too difficult to use really.
