Tips from the show

• The 3D embossing folder has no die-cut, so the card remains as one piece, allowing you to add inky techniques on top.
• Tape the card down in the embossing folder on your first attempt if you're nervous about the result.
• The embossing folder brings back definition even if your stencil layers feel lost.
