Did you ever stumble upon a happy accident in your cardmaking? Well, Design Team member Kate did and she's here to share it! If you've been wondering "can you heat emboss on textured cardstock", then keep reading!
Kate asked herself this very question and decided to try it out!
She pulled out some Encore Textured Cardstock and a solid stamp and at first she thought it was a fail, but once she used her embossing gun she realized how cool it looked.
So yes, you can emboss on textured cardstock. And the results are super cool.
The cardstock still retains the texture under the embossing, creating a beautiful pattern. The embossed texture and uneven embossing results in such a cool vintage look.
Tips for embossing on textured cardstock
Kate found it was best to use a semi solid image and use a stamping platform to allow for multiple stamping. This will ensure proper coverage. Kate found that stamping each flower 3 times worked best.
Grab some Encore Textured Cardstock and give this a try! Embossing on textured cardstock gives you such a unique look.
