How To Emboss and Deboss

Debossing and embossing are two popular techniques used in card making. While they may sound similar, the process produces different results. Embossing is a technique that creates a raised design on the designer series paper or cardstock. To emboss, you need to place the cardstock or DSP lined up on the black line of the embossing folder. After running it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, the raised design will be on the front of the paper.

On the other hand, debossing is the opposite of embossing and creates a depressed design on the paper. To deboss, you need to reverse the process. To adhere the debossed layer to a mat or card base, I suggest using Dimensionals.

It's important to note that both techniques add texture and dimension to your homemade cards. Stamping the image first is best when using these techniques on a card. You can use embossing folders to create beautiful and unique designs on your cards and scrapbook pages. With some practice, you can master both techniques and take your paper crafting skills to the next level.

What is Second-Generation Stamping?

To create a stunning visual effect on your project, you can use generation stamping to make two colors. To begin with, choose your first color and stamp the image. In this example, Tahitian Tide was used to stamp the middle flower.

To create a softer second-generation color, do not reink the stamp before stamping the image again. This will result in a lighter shade of the same color. You can see the color differences in the picture.

The third and final flower, Azure Afternoon, was the ink selected for the Color & Contour Card. Using this method, you can easily create two colors and add depth to your project. Try it out and see the beautiful results for yourself!
