Have you ever used any of your dies to create an embossed image? It is easier than you think. Today I have used the Eyelet Blooms Die to create two very different embossed looks. For both cards I used Night of Navy Card Base with Petunia Pop two-tone card stock. The flowers and greenery were stamped with Bubble Bath, Berry Burst and Old Olive inks and die cut with the matching dies.
Card 1: Once the cardstock was embossed I lightly sanded the raised side to bring out some of the white core.
Card 2: This time I used the debossed side on the front of the card.
The method I used to emboss with the die:
- Each die cutting machine will have its own sandwich – check out their instructions. The following works for me with the Big Shot.
- Emboss using the following sandwich: Big Shot Platform with Tab 2 open (or with the new platform – no adapters)
- Acrylic Plate
- Die with cutting side up
- Cardstock (in the die)
- Thin Silicone Mat
- White Impressions Pad
Both sides provide beautiful results. Which is your favourite?
