I never got great spotlight embossing, but this idea is a game changer!

[@handmadeinwindsorlab]

It just takes a little experimenting to see what works with your folders and die-cutting machine, it’s only a bit of card, have a play! 😍

[@karenreeves3958]

Thanks for all of these examples and tips on how to get Y all look great and your cards are great too. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for watching! 🥰

[@debbiemaddock9509]

Some great ideas, love the Japanese wave one and the 3d rose was stunning x

[@handmadeinwindsorlab]

Thanks so much 😊

[@sheilahamill3516]

Thank you. I had forgotten this technique!

[@handmadeinwindsorlab]

It’s a good one to make use of scraps that I’m trying to make sure I use creatively this year! An oldie, but a goodie!!

[@clareallen6413]

Thanks for the video Lesley! I haven't tried this technique for years, but I will give it a go again! Also, thanks for the glimpse around your desk at the end ... glad I'm not the only one! Clare x

[@handmadeinwindsorlab]

Same here, it was just staring at all those cut outs from my last makes reminded me of it! I think the mess is a sign of being productive in card-making 😂 No mess, no makes 🤣

[@patsmith4430]

What a good idea. I didn't know about this technique x

[@handmadeinwindsorlab]

It’s a nice way to use embossing folders with patterns as something other than full on backgrounds - always fun to find something new 😊

[@debbiemaddock9509]

Thanks for the flip through, I was on the fence with this but will get it now ive seen it inside 😊

[@handmadeinwindsorlab]

Glad I could help!

[@missykrahel4305]

You know I have been stamping/card making for about 25 years off and on, and I have never seen this technique used before!!! (Or possibly I have and just didn’t pay attention) 😅. Thanks so much for sharing!! 😊😊😊

[@handmadeinwindsorlab]

Very welcome 🤗 I love to share simple things we can use our stash for- this is a fun one to give a new view on embossing folders 😍

[@traceymahoney5258]

Brilliant Lesley. What a fab idea. And to come up with so many card as well. I love when I have a productive day. Most of the time I’m searching through my stash to find what I want to make!! I think I’ve probably got too much stuff! Said no crafter ever!!😂 Thank you XxXx

[@handmadeinwindsorlab]

I’ve had the same thing over the years, longer searching than making, and saving for best… But I’ve got over myself a bit with that one, it’s just paper!! I think I am going to find a food bank to donate all these to, so I don’t have an issue making more and using my stuff anymore! 🥰

[@handmadeinwindsorlab]

My sizzix is still buried under my ‘craftermath’ 😂 hope you saw it at the end so I don’t sound crazy right now 😝

[@albarohofobermatt3914]

@@handmadeinwindsorlab I saw your sizzix 😬 but it's normal being working. My sizzix is now also under paper and stuff, work zone🤣
