embossing with the slice…

Did you know you could use your SLICE die-cutting machine to emboss?!?

It’s really easy – you just replace your cutting blades with embossing blades:

And use an embossing mat instead of a glass cutting mat.  You can buy a kit here:

 

If you’re a visual learner (like I am) you’ll want to check out this video on the SLICE website:

You can emboss on cardstock, metal sheets, foam, and probably even more! 

Just for fun, here are a few projects I’ve created using the embossing tips:

pr_slice_layoutpr_slice_layout_detail3 mm_sanding_layoutmm_sanding_layout3  mm_slice_embossed_giftbag mm_slice_embossed_giftbag_closeup 

**I really like to lightly sand over the embossed images to make them POP off the page…but it’s not necessary**
