Less is more 15, heat or dry emboss, one layer no2





I have used a small embossing folder in a different way.
Because of the join you can't place it where you want on the card so I only mat and layer with it.
I used different sizes of card in my texture boutique so I could hang the folder of the edge but still fit in.
These are the outcomes, I will try this with some others now, to see what I can come up with.

  32. Did you run this through a sizzix or cuttlebug or did you do these with a stylus by hand. When I use the folders in my machine I get an edge.
    Thanks,

    1. Hi El Ivens
      I just did them in my sizzix tex boutique, that little blue handbag lol, I find I get an edge on some of the A5 size sometimes, so end up matting and layering x
