Dry embossing with a stencil (A Simon Says Stamp Cheer and Joy Blog Hop)

October 11, 2019

Dry embossing with a stencil (A Simon Says Stamp Cheer and Joy Blog Hop)

Today I’m happy to be sharing a clean and simple card project as part of the Cheer and Joy blog hop for Simon Says Stamp! And today’s card features a simple stencil and a bit of dry embossing, which is a fun way to get more use from a stencil.

The new Snowflakes stencil is full of wonderful snowflakes, just waiting to find their way onto your next project but one of my favorite ways to use a stencil is to run it through my die cut machine with my embossing pad to create an embossed image on my cardstock.

This is a card that looks so much better in person! I couldn’t get a great photo of the white on white. Maybe mama needs to retire her old camera body and hook up with a new one? We shall see!

Here is a video showing you how to do it:

Super easy and gives a great tone on tone texture to your projects!

Now… onto the blog hop details!

GET A FREE PIN! Be sure to use the code HPYML9 and Simon Says Stamp will pop a free mail box pin into your order while supplies last!
