This was a recent class project and the gals liked learning a new little trick with the triangle dies!! (any shapes like circles, squares etc. will work for this technique).
I used a pc. of Vanilla card stock & turned the dies UPSIDE DOWN to emboss instead of cut!! Cool huh? You need to have an "Impression Mat" like is shown on pg. 153 in the Annual Catalog. (you get 1 thick mat, and 1 thin mat so use which ever one works according to your own die cutting machine). Make sure the impression mat is UNDERNEATH your die shapes!! Make sure your die shapes are with the CUTTING SIDE UP!! Then put a regular cutting plate on top.
You will end up with raised and embossed shapes on your card stock and then finish your card as you see fit. Have you ever tried this before? Please ask if you have questions.
