Emboss then stencil… or is the other way around? Let’s test ’em both!

November 23, 2024

Emboss then stencil… or is the other way around? Let’s test ’em both!

Today I’m sharing a simple but very all-purpose stencil and embossing folder combo and testing out what order works best for me. Emboss then stencil? Or the reverse? I have an answer for that in my tutorial. Check it out:

So how do you do it? I’m definitely going to try this out with more combos and see if it holds up! I really think this turned out nicely.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Love this idea of a video. It puts the concepts together in a way that I will actually remember and apply it.

    Cathy, I tried both ways a little while ago, and I definitely liked the finished product better when I stencilled first , then embossed. Beautiful card!

    I enjoyed this, and seeing it really is better to stencil first!
