Big Shot Projects Emboss Resist with the Embossing Folders
This is such a fun technique and I learned it first on Patty Bennett's site. I have used it over and over again and love the look and now that we have more and more embossing folders, it's still a fun technique.
Here's the card I made today
You will need: Big Shot, Embossing Folder and wood frame purchased at the local craft store. These are found in the "wood" section and so far I have found ovals and rectangles. I'm still looking for squares, but none found so far
Step 1: Open up your Multi purpose platform to NO TABS
Add a piece of cardboard – I used the backing that comes with the Designer Series Paper.
Now flip over TAB 1
Step 2. Here is what the wooden frame looks like
Insert you card stock into the embossing folder
Align your card stock (not the embossing folder) evenly over the wood frame
Flip this over and, add a standard cutting pad to the top and run through the Big Shot
And your finished piece
Stamp Set: The Opoen Sea (W 123030, C 123032, page 9 Summer Mini)
Card Stock: Whisper White, Not Quite Navy
Ink: Not Quite Navy
Embellishments: Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine (123125, page 10 Summer Mini)
Big Shot: Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (119976)
I sponged around the Oval with a sponge dauber ((102892, page 195) to give it some depth!
Here's another card I made recently
For this card I used the Finial Press Embossing Folder with Night of Navy Card Stock and Ink. The little girl is from the not retired Easter Blossoms Stamp Set and the "Thanks" comes from the Fabulous Phrases stamp set (W 117002, C 120501, page 149)
Hope you enjoyed this fun technique. Let me know if you have ANY questions!
