Card making Die cutting Embossing How to Techniques Card Making
Love die cutting beeand embossing but can’t choose between the two? We’ve got something for you…
Combining two of our favourite cardmaking techniques in one, Crafter’s Companion’s Cut and Emboss folders will streamline your crafting and allow you to do both at the same time – genius! Not only that, there are stamps to match for an overall coordinated look. A time-saving staple for all the busy crafters out there, simply sandwich the folder and run through a die-cutting machine. Your card will seamlessly emboss and cut in one neat turn. You can then make your greetings as simple or detailed as you like – have a play with inks or give shakers a go.
