Tips from the show

Experiment with different cardstock colours and finishes—pearl, metallics, whites and blacks all produce different effects.
Use a metallic or restrictive ink pad to pick up the rise and fall for a brushed metal finish.
The HD 3D embossing folder creates up to nine layers of detail, giving exceptional depth compared to standard 3D folders.
