tutorial - Double Embossing

This was a cool technique I learned from the stamp show that I just had to share.

First, pick out two embossing folders - one with a tight design, and one that has bolder lines.

[tighter lines]


[bolder lines]


take the tighter design template, and emboss a piece of cardstock running your "sandwich" through your machine ONLY ONCE - front to back and STOP.

Remove your cardstock. Now, take that SAME embossed cardstock, and place it into your bolder lined template. Run it through THREE times - front to back, back to front, front to back (i.e. crank it forward, crank it backward, and crank it forward again). Doing it 3 times gives you a deeper emboss.

When you are done, it looks like this... COOLIO!!!

And here's my card. TFL! Wendy
