Tips from the show

You can use the embossing folder on its own without stamping for a beautiful white-work effect.
Don't worry if you don't line up the embossing folder perfectly—extra texture is not a problem.
Use both sides of the embossing folder to choose which effect you prefer before adhering to your card.
