************************************************
If you have a cutting machine but don't have an embossing machine, you can still emboss or de-boss to your heart's content! As long as you can use an embossing tool in your machine ( even if it is a nail dotting tool in your pen holder).

I hear you about how Brothers set it up. It is one of the reason I don’t emboss much. Now I can, so thank you.
Glad to be of help!
After seeing this great video I checked out the Brother embossing video. Oh my gosh, your way is sooooo much easier. So much of a palaver doing it their way. This will save so much time. Thank you for making these wonderful, helpful videos.
Thank you for the kind comments. Yes, it is quicker! I can't imagine many people bothering doing it otherwise.
I've just come across your video by accident - I had watched a couple of tutorials using the items from the embossing kit, and was so confused, and so was searching for more info. So glad I found your tutorial! I feel more confident now, and will now give it a go!
Good! The Brother way of doing it seems overly complicated to me, which is why I made this one and the others! They had something like 9 steps...
Impressive Sandra. Where there's a will there is a way and you will find it! Well done you.
You may like today's video too. An example of what can be done. Yes, you know me! :)
Thank you so much for this - tried Region Embossing once and it was such a phaff that I never bothered again but your way of doing it is amazingly easy.
You are so welcome! That's why I made this video, there are another one or two here showing how to do it with coloured images, it gives a fantastic result!
@@createinspain Sorry, not sure where I find the other one or two videos ?
@@createinspain Found the videos, sorry!!!
@@ajaybee4892 no worries!
I always appreciate your experimental approach. This is a great example of that, thank you Sandra. I have the embossing mat and pens that go with it but using all that plastic to make one design is just stupid, lol!
That's often the way! I was working on a new approach to stickers today:)
@@createinspain oh good! I just ordered a pack of rock paper scissors sticker paper, I heard it's pretty good stuff at a decent price
Fabulous idea! You're amazing. Love the way you always come up with EASY options for the things we want to do. So very clever, as always. Thank you. x
Thanks! I've just been checking my homemade SDX 24inch mat markings work and they do:) That will come out VERY soon!
@@createinspain Sounds like you're brain is really buzzing since you got your new machine. Have fun!x
They are coming out with a lot of 3D embossing folders (which are expensive) I want to make my own...could you do a video on creating 3D embossing folders. Thanks
I no longer use a Brother cutter. However, the way to make 3D embossing is to layer cuts, rather like decoupage, to get the desired effect.
cant wait for more uses loving these new out of the box ideas thank you sandra
Glad you are enjoying them! There is a video on Wednesday that shows off this technique, along with the files of course! :)
Thank you, never knew I could do this with my machine. Bonus that you can use the cutout as a stencil, makes the embossing even clearer, love it.
These machines can do a lot more than you are commonly led to believe.
thank you Sandra - inventive as always
Of course! :)
Not to worry Sandra. I've found the settings. I needed to look at the manual (always recommended!).
I really fail to see why anyone should have to buy a kit for something that the machines can do...without it!
Thank you - the purchase of the Brother ScanNCut has been contingent on me figuring out how to emboss a larger areas for my project without the embossing template. BRILLIANT - So Grateful for this tutorial. You've earned a subscriber today. ;-) BTW, a slight dampening of the paper (depending upon the paper type, like a watercolor paper or cotton linter) will help the paper stretch ... test it so you don't get tearing.
Glad to be of help!
@@createinspain Question: Have you found a workaround for plain line embossing that doesn't require an embossing mat?
@@karenw8929 Yes, it's pretty easy. Use some cheap craft foam under the card. Either use an empty cleaned out pen in a pen holder or a nail dotting tool. They come in different ball tip sizes, are very cheap. I use them for score lines too. Experiment with pressure, it depends on your card stock. Misting card with water before embossing makes it easier in some cases. Set your lines to draw and off you go.
@@createinspain Wondered about foam - glad for confirmation. I'm just getting ready to purchase - I guess the mat tells the machine what function I'm performing, so if I can't use the Brother embossing kit, I'm glad to know I can just use the penholder with one of the hand embossing tools. I really dislike the size limitation they impose with their embossing mat, plus the cost is nuts. Thanks again for your help - much appreciated! I hope you're having lovely weather in Spain!
I'm making some larger than normal printing plates and with arthritis, the cutting machine will save me from so much hand cutting.
Sorry to be a bit dim, but does it automatically do a region emboss or is there a setting for it? I can't see anything in my machine menu. Love the way you find such easy (and cheaper) ways of doing things.
Read your next comment and you have it sorted :)
Hi, it's me again. I tried to do the initial set up for region embossing but my mat was far too sticky and I wasn't able to remove the paper to check which number to set. I know it's possible to re-do it but I can't find instructions anywhere. Do you have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Sorry, I'm confused, what exactly is it you need to know how to do?
@@createinspain ok, I purchased the embossing starter kit, included was a sheet of A4 paper with an arrow and a solid black rectangle for use in the initial region embossing set up. I started the process but could not remove the paper from my cutting mat as it was far too sticky. This meant that I could not complete the set up. I understand that it is possible to re-do it, but I cannot find any instructions on how to. I see from one of your previous answers that there is no need to purchase the starter kit so maybe I don't need to do the set up at all. Will I be able to region emboss your way without this process? Sorry if this is a bit complicated but it's the only way I can describe it. Thanks for all your help.
@@createinspain I hope I'm not sending this twice, but I cannot see that my reply has been sent, so here goes again! I purchased the embossing starter kit which icluded a sheet of A4 paper with an arrow at the top and a solid black rectangle beneath it which is used in the initial region embossing set up. When fed into the machine you are supposed to get a reading to set the depth of the embossing tool (at least that is what I think it's for). However, my mat was far too sticky and I couldn't remove the paper so was unable to get the reading. I saw somewhere that it is possible to do the initial set up again but I can't find any instructions for this. I also saw from a earlier reply that it is not necessary to purchase the kit so maybe I don't need to do this set up at all? Any help would be greatfully recieved. Thanks.
Do yo need to buy the embossing tool to start off with?
Depends on your set up. Some people use the official Brother embossing tools which you can buy as a separate item (no need to buy the special starter kit unless you want the designs that come with it). Others use a nail dotting tool in the pen holder, or an empty biro will work as well. (If you have a new machine and want to avoid warranty issues, go for the embossing tools.) The only issue with using a pen holder and tool is that the pressure may not be as great. If I'm using my Silver Bullet machine, it is easy, as I can control the pressure on any tool holder...
@@createinspain hmm, I didn't know that. I bought the Starter kit plus extra mats and metal sheets. Oh and now my CM600 no longer working (sent you a message on your "now have a CM600" video)
@@MoMaryR You can rely on me to save money where possible - I'm quite inventive!:)
