I honestly think dies are the most versatile tool a crafter can have. Here, I show how to dry emboss with die cuts. Check out those backgrounds…
For this technique, I really like to use Essentials by Ellen Magentic Paper because it is thick, durable and die cuts easily. I die cut several of the new Bold Flowers and leaves to dry emboss these backgrounds.
Embossing with the thick die cuts is simple. Between your die cutting machine plates, I position a few pieces of cardstock shim, an embossing mat (you can also try felt), cardstock and thick die cuts. I then run this through my die cut machine as I would an embossing folder. The thick die cuts press into the paper… leaving a lovely impression.
I really think the new “you are my favorite” sentiment is a new favorite of mine and the perfect greeting on these cards. I also added silver-embossed heart die cuts and gemstones.
I hope you will give this technique a try. It is one of those that makes your jaw drop. 🙂
