Oval Embossing Tutorial

Normally, when you use an Impressions Folder - this is what you get...an overall impression.

To get a blank oval in the middle, I started with the Ovals Die - Item #114525 $15.95 - and ran a piece of chipboard through the Big Shot. I used the cardboard from the back of a notebook. Then I trimmed my die cut chipboard piece to 4 1/4" x 6 and traced lines on the top and bottom - centering the die cut oval for a 5 1/2" tall card.

It's hard to see...but where the small and medium ovals were cut out....I just taped them in place.

Step 1: Life up both tabs on the Multipurpose Platform and place a piece of cardboard from the back of a pack of Designer Paper in as a shim.

Step 2: Close all tabs on the Multipurpose Platform


Step 3: Place Oval Template on top of Tab 1


Step 4: Place cardstock inside folder



Step 5: Close folder and center on top of oval template

Step 6: Place clear cutting plate on top of embossing folder



Step 7: Run through Big Shot



This is what you get!!!!

Here's another sample using this technique!
