Special SURPRISE!

The 5 Ways Showcasing Embossing it Twice for Extra Texture are:
- Apply clear embossing ink directly to the debossed side of the embossing folder. Prep your paper with an antistatic tool, run it through your machine, then sprinkle on embossing powder and heat set.
- Add interest to the background or flat areas of the folder by swiping ink over the surface and heat embossing.
- Apply clear embossing ink to the embossed side of your cardstock image, then add clear embossing powder and heat set for a subtle tone-on-tone effect. Clear embossing is more forgiving. For a different look, try the same technique on the debossed side—it uses more powder and creates a bolder result.
- Create your own glossy dimensional embossed ephemera; die cut first and then emboss
- Play with the placement of where you put the embossed ephemera on top of the embossed panel
