I am interested in trying double embossing where you run two different embossing folders over the same CS, one after the other, to get both images overlapping/intertwining. Does anyone know which embossing folders work well together to achieve a great effect, please?
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions! !

Wouldn't this be kinda tricky since the second pass through might smash the first? I think I'll try maybe something like the CB Swiss Dots and Devine Swirl where there's some space in between.
Hi Pat,
Thanks for your reply. Would you please post a link to the page on your blog. I've tried looking but can't find it. You have so many beautiful cards!
TFS!
Cheers,
Sharon
There is no where to add a photo. Check out my blog on the 1st. I made a tutorial for a group I belong to. It shows the 3 samples I made.

I have just posted my first two samples in my gallery.
In the first one, to create a background, I centred the frame and debossed it, then coloured it lightly with sponge and light inks. Next, I placed my background in the second folder and set the folder slightly off centre so the birds were mainly inside the frame and then embossed it. I used darker inks to highlight the bird folder features.
In the second sample, I followed the same process but centred the bird folder over the background.
The photos make the birds look more transparent than they actually do.

Please post any folders which you know will work well together.

I did something accidently using my crimper first and then using the SU vintage wallpaper embossing folder which looked really effective. I have since tried it using SU square lattice folder first and then Vintage Wallpaper folder and that looked great too.
Beautiful card Pat. The other day I saw a card using a snowflake EF (can't remember if it was Northern Flurry) and Swiss Dots for a nice snowy background.
Can't wait to try this.
I did this with the same folder (musical flourishes). The first time I colored it on the debased side (so the background picked up the color. Then I ran it through again flipping the image over and coloring the embossed surface in a darker color. I found this somewhere and tried it. It works great.

Wow! What a beautiful card! That is an amazing effect! I love it! Another folder to add to my wishlist!:grin:!!!

Oh my word! You have all posted such nice work! I've been itching to bust out the embossing folders for another project and now I have to try this! Thanks for sharing everyone.

I love the way this turns out - yay!!! I second the woohoo for another way to use embossing folders. I have a few swaps coming up and I'm going to use this technique for sure - thanks for asking about this, original poster, and thx to all of the contributors for all of the good info and the gorgeous examples

This is a great technique! I never thought of doing this before. May I ask, what embossing folder did you that had the leaves on it. It is really pretty.
thanks!
a couple of years ago, I found Nilda's technique for double embossing, I emailed her and asked her permission to write up her instructiions, she gladly gave me permission. (uses cuttlebug)
It turns out very nice, and you could put a stamp in the middle. I have them in pdf form and I will glady share the technique
if you want to email me at [email protected] with double embossing in the subject line.
