Tips from the show

• Don't think of embossing folders as just sterile images—cut into them and utilise elements creatively.
• The colour sits naturally in the deep embossed lines, creating a beautiful effect without needing to be precise.
• You can use embossing folders in non-traditional ways, such as breaking them up into corners rather than using them as a full focal point.
