Embossing Folder Ink Technique with Video
Hey Crafties! Let’s have some fun with our embossing folders! A fun technique to double the use of your embossing folders is to apply ink before you run it through your Big Shot machine. In this video, you’ll learn the embossing folder ink technique!
I’ll be showing you a way to create a background that is colored AND embossed! For this summer-ready flamingo card, an ombré sunset background with the embossed foliage seemed perfect. So I chose some beautiful ink pads and started inking up my embossing folder.
Watch the short video to see how to create a background like this using an embossing folder and a few ink pads. There are also tips on how to experiment with this technique to create the perfect background!
