Supplies: Whisper White cardstock and Ginger Blossom DSP by Stampin' Up!; Ruby Red Ink by Stampin' Up! Brass template, light box, stylus and border punch from Michael's
My son, Jake, and I made a video to demonstrate dry embossing. I normally wouldn't tape my introduction in sweats, at night, but Jake was so eager to help that I couldn't resist. I'm a sucker for that kid ;D
The same dry embossed technique is used on this card; however, when I finished embossing, I moved the brass template to the front of the card and used it as a mask. I just applied the ink using a sponge dauber and then cleaned the template with a baby wipe.
This is the card we made on the video.
Thanks for looking! Please let me know what you think -- I'll try to tailor the videos to what you're interested in seeing.
Great job for your first time! I love the music with it. Jake was great!

I love the tutorial!! The music was terrific, but I'm afraid Jake stole the show!
I've wanted to learn dry embossing for a while, I think I may be adding a few things to my growing "wish list".
Thanks Susanna, you're great!!

Good job! Great job Jake! My light box is sitting across the room very much neglected, I may have to break it out! If only I can find a template...

Hello, was wondering what was to emboss the platelets that you used to do them because I loved it! Could I pass an email site that I can find it

These were brass stencils that I found at Michael's. Thanks for asking!
