Good morning and happy new week! I’m popping in to share a video today with some tips and tricks for embossing diecuts.
I love our embossing folder and die combos (they are some of my favorite products to date!), but there is the age-old conundrum (ok maybe not age-old, but you know what I mean!)…emboss first or diecut first? Embossing first is certainly easier, but diecutting as a second step flattens out all of the beautiful embossing. You can always refresh your embossing with a second pass after cutting, but that’s an extra step, and involves lining up the individual diecuts inside your folder. That’s not so hard with a single diecut or larger pieces, but gets a little trickier with lots of pieces, like in the case of our new Coquette Hearts embossing folder and Whole-Hearted die.
I’ve been experimenting with some tips and tricks for making it easier and have found a common kitchen product to be a game changer…Press n Seal! If you don’t already have a roll of this in your craft room, you might want to grab one next time you’re at the store. There are lots of great crafty uses for Press n Seal…I’m not sure which crafter was the original Press n Seal guru (it might have been our very own Laurie Willison?!), but it’s one of the greatest hits for sure.
I put together a video sharing some tips and tricks for using Press n Seal in a couple of different ways to make it so much easier to emboss diecuts.
Thanks so much for popping in! Happy creating! 🙂
