Embedded Embossing Tutorial

I wanted to share with you a card I made as a sample for the store.  It has a bit of Embedded Embossing on it and I wanted share how its done.  Its so easy and add so much.

Doesn't it look cool?  First decide the decorative paper and cardstock you want to use and then cut your layers to size.  My red cardstock is about a 1/4 of an inch bigger than the decorative paper all the way around. 

With just a touch of double sided adhesive in all four corners adhere the two pieces together.  Line up your layered paper in your embossing folder and run it thru the Big Shot. 

Here's an Embedded Embossing picture tutorial…

• I've cut my red cardstock and decorative paper to the size I need for another card.

• With just a touch of double sided adhesive in each corner, see photo above… you don't want much adhesive as the papers will shrink just a tad when you emboss.
• You also want an embossing folder where the design is closely spaced together, not like polka dots or something where the design is spread to far apart.  It's the closeness of the design and the embossing that holds the layers together.

• Line up your piece inside your embossing folder and run it thru your Big Shot.

• Now decorate away… its so fun and adds a bit of variety to your cards and layouts.  I hope you enjoy Embedded Embossing as much as I do.
