Embossing Folder Technique

By | April 20, 2023

Today I’m sharing a “New to me” technique using an embossing folder.

Here is what I did:

  1. Piece of Basic White card stock cut to size (3¾” x 5″ and 4″ x 5¼”)
  2. Randomly add colors using Blending Brushes (saving a dark color for the accent)
  3. Run the colored Basic White piece through your Die Cut Machine using an embossing folder – DO NOT have the Stampin’ Up! logo facing you – you want it on the bottom – you are going for the “debossed” image.
  4. Add a dark color over the top directly by using a stamp pad. You want to drag it across lightly. May need to do a few times for the desired shaded.
  5. Like magic the colors you added “pop” off the paper.
  6. Adhere to card base, add sentiment and you’re done!

Below uses the Fern 3D Embossing Folder and the colors Lemon Lime Twist (returning), Granny Apple Green, Garden Green and Shaded Spruce.

Finally, the second card, I’ve used the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder from the upcoming 2023-2024 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. Color include Balmy Blue, Tahitian Tide, Azure Afternoon (new) and Blueberry Bushel (returning).  Look for the new and returning colors May 2, 2023.
