A “Faux-bossing” tutorial

Hello, Jen Roach here and today I have a “faux-bossing” technique tutorial to share with you using the new snowflake border die.  This technique is a wonderful way to create the look of an embossing folder using die cuts.  The snowflake border is perfectly designed for this technique!

Step 1:  Die cut or trim a piece of cardstock for your background (or you could do this directly on a card base as well).  Cut out a bunch of your desired die in the same colour cardstock

Step 2: Adhere die cuts to card base/cardstock.  I was able to put a small dot of glue in the center of each of the large snowflakes.

Step 3:  Trim and adhere to card base.

Step 4:  Create you card.  I added some liquid pearls to the center of each large snowflake and used the Winter Smiles Robin snowman image to finish off my card.

Supplies:
Stamps: Winter Smiles Robin set from Your Next Stamp, Joy set (sentiment) from Your Next Stamp
YNS Dies: Snowflake Border
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: Bazzill cardstock, Neenah cardstock
Accessories:  Copic Markers, Viva Décor pearl pen, Stickles,


I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial and I hope you have found a new use for your Your Next Stamp dies!

Enjoy your day!

Jen
