Omission Embossing with embossing folders
November 07, 2009
Sounds so technical huh? Actuallly this is a very easy technique and will open up a whole new world of possibilities.
The hardest part is making this frame.
This is 4 pieces of the "chipboard" that comes with SU's Designer Paper. If you can find thin wooden frames at the craft store that would work too. I made mine by cutting 4 oval frames and then layering them on top of each other and gluing or taping them together. It aint pretty but it works!
Next you insert your paper in the folder and then place the frame on top of the folder. Not in the folder but on top or on the bottom. I place the folder on top so if you stamped an image on the paper you could see what you are framing.
Now you are ready to roll! Here is the sandwich that works in my BIg Shot. Tab 2, embossing folder, frame, plastic cutting plate and roll!
This is what you will find when you open your embossing folder! I can hear your creative wheels a whirling! Go and make some cool thing and share it with me! I have a few more of these samples to share so watch my blog for more samples!
Sharon, Thank you for sharing this new technique. I am anxious to try.

Thank you Sharon for the tutorial..........
I know a lot of demos are cutting up their folder with the coluzzle or exacto knife. They feel the folder is cheap enough that they can do this, but I like your way much better

Very cool idea. You could even use some of the other Sizzix dies (originals) to cut out other shapes for your frame. Oh, the possibilities...now only if I had some time ;)
