All about embossing with dies and on specialty paper

Hello Stampers,
Today it is all about embossing with dies and on specialty paper. One card is embossed with dies and the other card I emboss on the Natural Touch specialty paper.

Did you see my tip video with the Butterfly Bouquet product at the beginning of the month? If not Click Here to view. In that video, I shared how to emboss with dies.

How-To Emboss With Dies

On the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine

Platform #1
Clear Plate #3
Silicone Sheet
Cardstock
Dies
Clear Plate #3
ONLY use a SHIM (a piece of cardstock at the top) of the #3 plate if the embossing is NOT deep enough. I suggest starting without a shim and see if you need a shim.

If you have the Big Shot I have an older video that I share on how to emboss with dies also. Click here to view the video with the big shot.

Butterfly Bijou Designer paper for the butterfly

How-To Emboss On Specialty Paper

The new Natural Touch Specialty paper is a very light part. My best advice to emboss with this paper is to use an embossing folder that is not too deep. The Pinewood Planks is as deep that I recommend. If the embossing imprint is too deep it will rip the paper.
After I emboss with the Pinewood Planks I tab the Soft Suede ink pad directly on the embossed paper. This will get all the detail of the wood to stand out. I love the final look of this emboss paper. The Natural Touch already has the wood look to it but I wanted the wood grain to stand out so embossing was just what I needed.
