Emboss without machine or "tools"!!!

                            

***Money Saver Alert***


What???


Yep, and, It takes about 3 minutes!  But Shhhhhh! Don't tell Provo Craft or Sizzix please!

 Embossing folder


Front and back, just a little! moist, not completely wet, You want it to relax not melt!

Its going to have a couple droplets so just pat gently so it will absorb them. Don't press, PAT.


Press starting from top to bottom applying pressure and back up again, about 5 times

Open to check it out!

So pretty!

Set aside, Allow to dry...

This one has had time to dry!

So what do you think?  Leave a comment!

  6. Some tools may not have an amp rating, but give watts and voltage, instead. To find the amps, divide the watts by the voltage. For example, 1000 watts divided by 110 volts equals 9 amps. best pole saws 2020

  14. How do you keep the paper from curling since you dampen it?

    1. My opinion only….I would put a towel on top of the paper and a book on top of that until it dries.

  15. I don’t know how the texture rolling pins would work. Making your own embossed folders is a lot cheaper than buying them.
