Embossing
Greeting Cards
By Anja van Laar
If
you enjoy using the large range of cutting papers featuring small
images of flowers or animals, then here is a new way of using them.
Combine this with the added pleasure of embossing and you have a
very attractive range of cards that are easy to make with a simple,
uncluttered appearance. The most expensive item you will need is
a light box and a couple of the new background stencils from the
line embossing range.
This is a cheaper and more versatile
way of adding interest to a background without resorting the more
costly printed papers. It is more effective too, as it eliminates
the need to match the colors in any papers to the cutting sheet
images. There isn't much need for many instructions, but a few diagrams
show how to do the embossing for beginners, and there are several
handy cutting ideas for those wanting to layer their images with
foam squares. Useful too are the diagrams for envelopes and various
novelty cards, making this another practical and user-friendly little
primer.
