Divine Dry Embossing & how to emboss without a fancy machine!


Hello there!  For Thursday's Camp Create project, we were asked to dry emboss using one of our border dies.  I am a silhouette cameo user, so I don't use dies for my projects.  I figured out how to dry emboss, using a cut from my cameo.  I set up everything the same as the video for stamping, etc.  I just had to improvise since I'm not a die owner. :)


In case someone else has my same dilemma, this is how I did it!
1-I picked out my shape and cut it out of two pieces of silhouette chipboard.
2-I stacked them on top of each other, and taped them to the inside of the front panel of my card (I had tried it with a single layer and it didn't give the dimension I wanted).
3-I grabbed my scoring tool and ran it along the edge of the chipboard shapes until I got the embossed look I wanted.  
4-I removed the chipboard from the opposite side and admired the results! 

I am loving this spring short stack set from Stampendous.  I love how I can make several animals from one set, and pair it with other sets (like the balloon) for different occasions!
Thanks for reading!
