Hello, and thank you for stopping by.
Let’s take a look at the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder. It’s on page 18 in the Mini Catalog, and features “brayering” with ink.
A Brayer is a tool that works like a paint roller. By rolling the Brayer across your ink pad, you transfer the ink to the brayer and can transfer that ink to either paper, an embossing folder, or a stamp. Using a brayer with the Hubrid Embossing Folder allows you to transfer the ink directly to the folder. Once the ink is on the folder, you can transfer that ink to cardstock, and ink, cut and emboss the images at the same time. It’s a fun process. Take a look at the photos below.
Here’s The How To
- Add your ink to the left side of your open embossing folder (the side with the Stampin’ Up! Logo).
- If you don’t have a brayer, use your ink pad (gently), or a Stampin’ Spot.
- Place the die over the inked side of the embossing folder. Be sure it snaps into place.
- Add your paper and run the folder through your cutting machine as you normally would any thicker or 3-D Folder.
- The Embossing Folder and die clean up easily with water. I used a drop of dish detergent on mine.
- Dry the folder and die with a lint free cloth.
- Below are the results.
You can also shade the sentiments with Blends. This takes a little longer, but you have more control over the color you add. I used two of the sentiments in my featured cards. I’m sure I’ll use the rest on future projects.
I created a simple layered card for both sentiments and gave the sentiments a little lift by attaching them to the card fronts with Dimensionals.
So, ink up an emboodding folder, have fun with the results, cut some layers, give your sentiment a lift, and say “hello” and “thank you” to some special friends.
… the only limitation is your imagination!
