A quick run through on how to dry emboss
Its so simple you just need a light source like a light box or you can put it up to the window, place your stencil down first, your design will come out the opposite way, so decide which way you want your stencil to be, place your paper on top, it needs to be white core paper, a colour on one side and white on the other, place the colour side down. Now trace the stencil with an embossing tool, not too hard go over it a couple of times (you can use a bar of soap, just rub dry soap on the white side of your paper, this makes the embossing tool to glide easier) Turn your work back over and you will have an embossed design, now you can buff the raised edges with a fine nail file or buffing block and it shows the white core through, then just cut around your design leaving a little gap of about 3-4mm, its easy! Happy embossing
