Today's tip is how to emboss ribbon. It works well with Stampin' Up!'s Seam Binding or Taffeta ribbon. In the picture below I used seam binding.
Here's a picture of a card I made with it using the Paper Pumpkin supplies:
and the ribbon detail:
In this picture I used the embossing folder Perfect Polka Dots (117335).
And this card with several different embossed ribbons:
Procedure:
- On Craft Sheet, spray ribbon with Stiffen Stuff
or Best Press until wet.
- Let dry ~ 1 hour. With tweezers dry with heat tool. If you are
using Best Press, you can iron it with a pressing cloth. If you are using
Stiffen Stuff, you can use the microwave (carefully). Do not use an iron with Stiffen Stuff - what a mess! (Ask me how I know that!)
- Put ribbon inside embossing folder and emboss
with Big Shot or Texture machine
NOTE: I found that the Stiffen Stuff made the ribbon stiffer and a
little darker. Best Press kept the ribbon’s texture and color, but may not hold
the embossing as well.
