Fun Fact Friday ~ Dry Embossing!

Fun Fact Friday, Stamping Techniques, Thank You /

Did you know that dry embossing isn’t a new arts and crafts technique? It first appeared in the15th century as personalized stationery. It was created by heating stamping plates and was seen as a high-quality work from a professional. It was expensive and limited, so of course everyone wanted it. Right?

As time went on printing services were improved and turned this embossing into an art making it more affordable for people like us. Fast forward and today we have embossing folders for a little as $10 dollars.  All you need is your folder, some cardstock and a Stampin’ Cut n Emboss or Big Shot machine. And that is exactly how I created today’s card.

I added a little twist to my embossed card panel by using a sponge dauber and some white craft ink. After you dry emboss your image, on the raised side, gently add a touch of white ink to any of the images you want to stand out. I also used white craft ink to stamp my greeting. I think next time I will use some white embossing powder and a heat gun to make it stand out more….next time. LOL Happy Stamping!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae
