The fourth technique of my week-long Embellishing Die Cuts event is a technique to add depth and dimension to your die cuts.
TECHNIQUE #4- EMBOSSING
I totally want an embossing machine. I haven't decided which one I'd like yet, but I know I definitely want one. Look at these cute sheep I saw Lorraine making when I met her at an Archiver's crop. Aren't they amazing? Part of what makes them so special is the fact that they're embossed.
There are a lot of different machines out there that do embossing- Provocraft & Sizzix make some of the more popular ones like the Cuttlebug and Big Shot. I have several of the Fiskars texture plates and a stylus that I've used to make some projects while I'm still deciding which embossing machine to buy. I've been thinking about the Sizzix "purse" one because I just want something that embosses. Any recommendations?
Have you made a die cut project using embossing? If so, link it up below!
I love my Cuttlebug!
ReplyDeleteLove my cuttlebug too, I think embossing adds so much texture to any project and its fun!
ReplyDeleteI thought that card looked familiar!!

Hi Tammy!!!!!
Fun card- made me smile it is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI have a Sizzix Big Kick, had it for years! I try to use it often!
ReplyDeleteI have a Cuttlebug that needs a new home. I use my Sizzix BigShot ALL the time. Seriously, if interested in the Cuttlebug, let me know. I have the original box and I'm throwing in my small dies and embossing folders.
