Technique Tuesday -- Emboss and Cut

Welcome back to Sparkle N Sprinkle's Technique Tuesday. I want to show you a neat technique that will help you use up those scrap papers you have lying around. I hope you will sit back and take a look and then try this out on one of your projects!


Supplies needed:
  1. exacto knife
  2. cutting pad
  3. bright scraps of paper
  4. regular tape
  5. embossing folder
  6. embossing machine
  7. white card stock
Run the white card stock through the embossing folder using the embossing machine.


Start cutting out areas from the embossed card using an exacto knife.


Here is the card after I finished cutting out the areas I wanted.


You may do the next step different ways. On this piece I cut out areas of bright patterned paper and taped them on the back. The back looks messy but of course it will be covered up.


Turn the card over and this is what it looks like on the front!


You can use one piece of patterned paper behind the card instead of cutting up patterned paper. It just depends on the look you want. I used one piece of patterned paper behind this card.


On this card I used glitter in the cut areas! I backed the embossed black card stock with sticker paper and added glitter.







I hope you enjoyed the technique today.  Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

April
