If you, like me love the elegant look that you can get on your layouts by using dry embossing, here are some scrap-booking ideas for some easy ways to get that embossed look for your scrapbook layouts. Most scrap-booking enthusiasts that I know have done embossing on some of their layouts or used ready made embossed pages.
Embossing is a simple technique, and it has been popular for centuries, as it adds a slightly 3D look to your projects. It also adds some subtle texture and is great to use for card making and on heavier paper types. It is a popular technique to use on elegant pages in your scrap-booking album, like for instance your wedding day, or even a child’s christening. Dry embossing is a far simpler technique than heat embossing, so don’t get confused here. Heat embossing involves the use of inks, stamps and heat guns. Dry embossing involves simply pressing a design into card or paper to make a raised pattern on the other side.
If you have never done embossing before, it is a great idea to buy ready embossed card stock and paper to work with. First see if you like the embossed look on your layouts before spending a lot of money on tools.
Try purchasing an already made sheet of embossed paper and then customize it to suit your needs. Try coloring in your embossed design. This will give a unique look with out costing a fortune. I have also seen pages where some of the embossed effects have been cut out here and there, and this looked stunning.
If you have decided that you love the embossed look and want to splash out on tools to do your own embossing, you will need a stylus and some templates. A stylus looks almost like a pen. It has a sturdy steel shaft with a ball at the end, which allows you to press your chosen design into your card stock. There are many different sizes in the stylus range, and a larger ball will allow you to press your design into a larger area. The smaller balls are used for more intricate patterns.
There is also range of embossing systems on the market place to make your life simpler. These are pricey, but do make the job easier by holding down the card stock or papter with pegs while you emboss. You can choose from a variety of interchangeable templates which can be bought separately.
