Embossed Computer Cards

Carol Duvall Show : Episode CDS-741 -- More Projects »

The computer-generated cards demonstrated today were made using a program called Colored Impressions. All of the detailed instructions and materials needed are given on the CD. The basic steps are as follows:

Select the images you wish to print and emboss and purchase the matching metal stencils.
Select a heavy weight paper or good card stock. Print out design or combinations of designs in selected colors.
Place printout over a light box or other light source and emboss the print out where desired.
Cut, score and fold card.

Tips & Suggestions:

Start the embossing using the large end of the burnishing tool and finish with the smaller end to fill in any details.
Dark colors do not show up as being embossed as distinctively as do lighter colors or no color at all
It is not necessary to purchase stencils and emboss every part of the selected designs. Embossing only select portions can be very effective.
