Have you tried the Blackout Embossing technique yet? I’m seeing lots of great cards out there featuring these amazing background layers created with inks and 3D embossing folders. So I of course had to try it out, play around, and created a couple finished cards for you to see

I used the Layered Florals, Fern and other 3D Embossing Folders, the Layering Leaves and Unbounded Love Stamp Sets, and more to create great backgrounds with the Blackout Embossing Technique! Access measurements, a how-to video with tips and tricks, other close-up photos, and links to the products. - Stampin’ Up!® - Stamp Your Art Out! www.stampyourartout.com

I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook a few hours ago step-by-step directions for creating these backgrounds and cards with the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder, the Layering Leaves Stamp Set, the Fern 3D Embossing Folder, the Unbounded Love Stamp Set, the Spotlight on Nature Dies, and more! And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.

I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel or tune into my events on my Facebook Page so you can get updates when I share and go live).

Below are measurements and close-up photos for the Layered Florals card that I demonstrated. I’ll share the details for the Fern fun-fold card Friday or Saturday.

See below for a complete list of products that I shared in the video. Most are linked to where you can find them in my online store. But some are not available until 5/1/24. So no links are available for them yet.
