August 1, 2019...Even More Die-Cutting Fun! WOW!

Part three in our series on dies and their versatility- supplied to us by Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team.  

Did you know you can EMBOSS with your dies?

This is a great way to add texture and interest to your projects. 

Simply create your die-cutting machine sandwich just as you would to emboss, only with one slight difference. 

First, start with your cutting platform on the bottom. 

Next, add your cutting pad on top of your platform. 

Then add your Silicone Craft Sheet on top of the cutting pad. 

Add your cardstock, with the die in position, on top of that. 

And finally, top it all off with your second cutting pad and run it through your die-cutting machine. 

Depending on your machine’s configuration, you can also add additional shims to achieve more depth and definition. 

You are left with your own unique embossed design that is to die for (pun intended)!”
