Experimenting with Memory Box 3D Embossing Folder Sandwiches & Techniques

 

Hello and welcome!

I've had a lot of questions about how to make these inked backgrounds with 3D embossing folders so today I created a short video showing the technique with three different die cutting machines.

I used the Memory Box "Blooming" 3D embossing folder with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink, and a couple of different brayers, plus a water spray bottle with different inking techniques.  I also explain the different plates sandwiches (combination of plates) that I use with Memory Box 3D folders.

I have noticed that all of the new 3D folders are not the same thickness, so today I only concentrated on the Memory Box brand - which are quite thick!  Here's the short video.  If you'd rather watch it on YouTube, just click on the logo in the video below.  Please consider subscribing to my channel while you are there, I'd really appreciate it!  (Below that is a short video showing a way to get a smoother background.)

And here's the result:

I hope this video helps explain different ways you can achieve this look for your card backgrounds.  It really is a trial and error process, so don't be afraid to do it several times until you get the result you are happy with.  Have fun and thanks so much for stopping by!
