Tips from the show

• Always apply wax lightly at first because you can add more but cannot easily remove it.
• The 3D embossing folders have up to seven layers of detail, pushing the boundaries before the card cracks.
• You can enhance the embossed design further by adding white or gold sparkle wax for a different look on alternative colourways.
