Hello Friends,
Today I am sharing how you can emboss with detail dies. Don’t you love it when you have tools that can be used for different techniques? Well, today will get you a little excited to use your detailed die not to cut but to emboss. This technique works great for many detailed dies.
I have the video below or you can view it on my YouTube Channel.
Measurements
- Smoky Slate 11 x 4¼ score at 5½
- Cherry Cobbler 5¼ x 4
- Basic Black 3-7/8 x 3-3/8, 4 x 2½
- Silver Foil 3¾ x 3¼, 3¾ x 2¼
- Whisper White 5¼ x 4
For more detail of the gears, I drag my StazOn ink onto the silver embossed foil. This will give more detail and also give a unique look to the foil paper.
Step by step to emboss with a detail die
This could vary depending on your die-cut machine. I use a BigShot. Here the step by step
- Platform *DO NOT ADD the adapter
- Clear Plate
- Silicone Craft Sheet
- Card stock or paper of your choice. I used silver foil.
- Die sharp edge facing down onto the paper.
- Clear Plate
- One Shim. I use the white backing of designer paper. You can use the thick whisper white or color card stock.
- Pass through the bigshot.
Inside the card
Looking at this picture above I can’t stop laughing. See the motion of my stamping. It sure looks like the car was going reverse. What I shoulda done is stamp my first card more on the left and stamp again on the right.
How-to video
In this video, I share how to die cut and emboss with a detail die.
Emboss with Sending Flowers Dies
The Sending Flowers Dies is a great die for embossing. We could die cut the flower in different colors to add them to the embossed one or color with blends like the one above.
This one is just embossed no color added. I love the simplicity and clean look of this card.

Hi Frenchie
Could you put the silicone mat on the platform first just in case then the clear plate
would absorb the die instead of the mat?
I love how by putting the extra shim gives it more dimension. Please be & stay safe France!!
