Our 10 Favorite Techniques

Dry embossing can add a ton of fun texture to your pages. Lisa Storms embossed the color blocks and the title of her layout. Download these step-by-step instructions on dry-embossing.

TIPS
• Make a smooth move. Place waxed paper on your cardstock before you dry-emboss so your tool glides more smoothly and you’ll avoid tearing the paper.

• Texture your title. After placing her title letter stickers on white cardstock, Lisa embossed them. To emphasize the design, she sanded it.
