Dry Embossing with Framelits Heart Collection

Did you know that you could dry emboss with the new Framelits?  Instead of using the Framelit to cut the heart out, you can turn the heart over and place the cutting side up and you will dry emboss a heart on your cardstock. Just stamp your image on your cardstock, place your heart around your stamping, and you will have a raised heart! I will give you the directions for using this technique with your Big Shot.

Supplies:

Stamp sets - Sprinkled Expressions (SAB)

Cardstock - Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, Rose Red

Ink - Basic Gray, Pink Pirouette and Rose Red markers

Accessories - Framelits Hearts Collection, Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folders, Pink Pirouette 3/8" tafetta ribbon, Trinket Hearts, White Baker's twine

Can you see the embossed heart?  One set of directions I saw used 2 Texturz silicone rubber mats, but I only have 1, so I folded 3 pieces of cardstock (8 1/2 x 11) in half and stacked them on top of one another in place of one of the silicone mats.  Here's the sandwich I used:

Multipurpose platform Tab 2

3 stacked, folded pieces of cardstock

1 Texturz silicone rubber mat

cardstock to be embossed

Framelit w/ cutting side up

cutting plate

After running it through the Big Shot, you may have a shodow around your heart (another impression) or you may not.

Here is another option:

Multipurpose platform with no tab open

Texturz Impression pad

Texturz Silicone rubber pad

cardstock to be embossed

Framelit w cutting side up

cutting plate

After running it through the Big Shot, you will definitely have a shadow (another impression) around the heart.
