TECHNIQUES:
1. Embossing
2. Using Framelits
3. Using Punches
TIPS:
- In most cases, snail adhesive will work to adhere embossed CS. BUT, if the embossing is very deep and intricate you will need to use a stronger adhesive like Fast Fuse.
- When using framelits to frame image, use the Magnetic Platform or a piece of painters tape or a Post It Strip to make sure it doesn’t move out of place.
- In many cases, turning punches upside down allows you to save paper and in some cases center the stamped image.
