Looking for an easy way to get the embossed card look without actually embossing? Check out this fun trick using dies and create the look in half the time!
Embossing is a tried and true craft that takes are art to the next level with a bit of dimension. The problem with embossing, is you have to have the right powder, and the right tools to make it work. Today’s project by our Associate Designer, Diana, gives an embossed look but only uses dies.
How does she do it you ask? The trick is in using the same colored cardstock for your base and background images. When you layer the same color in the background it appears to be embossed and raised off the paper. It really is a neat and simple way to add that something ‘extra’ to your papercrafting creations.
Look at this project from the side; see all of the texture and dimension in Diana’s creation? The added tree in the background fills in the empty space, but not enough to distract us from the amazing fall pumpkin cart. It’s a genius way to fill in your card with a bit of pizzaz.
We are so in love with how stunning this card turned out and we know that if you try this technique on your next project, you are going to love it just as much as we do. Shop the amazing products below and tag us in your creations.
