Stamping with Embossing Folders
This technique is so easy it's
ridiculous, and what's funny is that it took me so long to find out
how to get this look! All you need is an embossing folder, card
stock, and classic dye ink.
First, open the embossing folder and
ink the raised portion on the inside. This is the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder from Stampin' Up.
Next, carefully place your card stock
squarely on the inked side of the folder.
Last, close the folder and press down
with your hand, or use a bone folder or empty acrylic block to create nice even
pressure. DO NOT RUN THIS THROUGH THE BIG SHOT.
Just open the folder and, voila! A fabulous delicate background for your card.
Another way to stamp with embossing
folders is to ink the “deep” side of the folder, place your card
stock, and run it through the Big Shot. Gives a bold textured look.
Cleanup is a snap, just run the folder
under the tap and dry it off. Very simple.
Enjoy!
