Tips & Tricks Friday - Cut First, Emboss Second

Embossing with the Textured Impressions Embossing Folders are a great way to fill in blank spaces.  Early on in this process I found not always but always when I was in a hurry to finish a project if I embossed first and then cut second it would crush the embossing.

So now I always cut first: -

(Top Note Die and Gumball Green Cardstock)

and Emboss second: - 

(Vine Street Embossing Folder (Sale A Bration))
