Variations

Be sure to try both the positive and negative sides of the embossing folders for different looks!

Try inking up the solid stamp only and then pressing it onto a clean embossing folder. This gives another interesting look.

Ink up the solid stamp with more than one color of ink and get yet another unique look.
