How to upgrate the embossing techniques
Hello there, today I have a technique tutorial for you! With this tutorial I will show you how to upgrate two embossing techniques using a Brilliant Ink and embossing power or MBoss from Imagine. This is a great idea for any occasion. I created a Patriotic Card honoring 4th of July.
Card details:
First, select a piece of card stock and embossing folder. Use a piece of cardstock larger than the folder. Then, dry emboss it in the normal way using your die cut machine. On my project I am using the Slimline Embossing Folder Wave Lengths from Whimsy Stamps.
Continue picking a brayer or any type of roller to add ink to the emboss design. Noticed that you can use any face of the embossed piece to develop this embossing technique. I am using Brilliance Pearlescent Sly Blue and Shimmer White Cardstock.
How to upgrade Embossing Folder Technique
Ink your brayer completely and apply the Brilliance Ink over the surface with a soft movement. You don’t want to transfer the ink to the debossed part.
Repeat the above step, until you are satisfied with the color of the layer. In my sample, I made this step three times to have a great covering. This is one of the most easy ways to upgrade the embossing techniques.
Create the card base and layers that you wanted to use. In this model I am using white card base, and blue die cut layer to create a contrast. Resize your inked embossed piece to use it as top layer over the die cut piece. Select a shadow die set with a sentiment or any other type of image to create a window over your inked layer. Don’t paste your layers yet. On my card, I am using the Big Sending Sugar Scrip from Birch Press.
With the shadow or die base of your die cut, create a window over the inked layer. If you want you can save the die cut layer to use in another project.
Paste the inked embossed layer over the die cut layer using your Crafty Foam Tape from Scrapbook Adhesives. Paste the decorative piece over the card base.
Cut the word or image according with the die cut that you selected.
How to upgrade Hot Embossing Technique
With masking tape, cover the half of the die cut word and made a partial hot embossing using VersaMark Ink and your favorite color of embossing powder or MBoss. In my model, I am using the Metallic Berry.
Don’t remove the masking tape if you want to repeat the above step and obtain shinier and dimension with the hot embossing. I repeated this step twice. Another fun way to upgrade the embossing techniques.
Paste the embossed word and decorate with a complement sentiment and/or embellishments. I used a tiny sentiment stamped with Memento Paris Dusk and a few die cut stars in white smooth cardstock.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful 4th of July weekend!
