Today, we are celebrating our theme for the month of July 2018 by making textured greeting card using craft dies to emboss a card.
Materials needed
Die-cutting\ embossing machine
Embossing mat
Die-cutting\ embossing machine plates
Craft dies- I used the Tonic Studios Floral Blooms Patterned Panels
Greeting card blank
Step 1: Place the die-cutting machine plates < place the embossing mat on the die-cutting plates < place the greeting card on the embossing mat < place the die with flat side on the greeting card< Place a die cutting plate on the sandwich before rolling into the machine.
Use a light pressure or setting so as not to bore hole in the greeting card. The setting used for this embossing in 7.
If you want the de-bossing on the front of the card then follow the sandwich instruction and place the die inside the card; that is, work from the inside of the card.
If you want the embossing on the front of the card then work on the front of the card; place the die on the front of the card.
*Note that wherever the opening of the design(cut-out of the design) faces, is where the embossing will be while the outline of the design will be de-bossed.
*Flipping the card will aid you in working on the front or inside of the card.
Step 2: You can also continue the design if you desire.
Step 3: Decorate your card as desire.
