Embossing in cutting dies

What? Embossing what? In cutting dies? 

Ok, I´ll clear up the mystery: did you notice this detail on my last card?



I used a Spellbinders cutting die and embossed the die cut while it was still in the die. 
Does everybody know how to do this without harming the embossing folder? 
If not, here´s how:

1) die cut any shape you like


2) turn it over and lay it onto the flat side of an embossing folder


3) put a silicone shim and an embossing plate on top - leave the embossing folder OPEN!


4) walk it through the embossing machine - turn it over and voilá!





A perfectly embossed piece with a small frame all around thanks to the cutting die!

As I´m NO fan of wintertime, I decided to use it for a very bright-colored card...
(Linda, thanks again for the very beautiful pin(s)!!!)




I´d like to enter it into these challenges:





Thanks for stopping by today!

  8. Hi Ulina,
    Both your cards are really lovely! Congratulations on having your work published! Sorry I meant to say this the other day.
    I don't know anything about die cutting or embossing so this is very interesting. I come from the dark ages and only know how to use a scissor! :)
    Love Pearl x
