This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
your Favourite Method of Embossing (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

When I first started stamping I loved wet embossing, but often got messy.  Now I really love dry embossing because I think it seems to give a really professional effect, and here I've used a really simple Swiss Dots embossing folder to create a panel across the top of my card.  I've also used a flower die that I've embossed and inked to give it some definition.

Samantha

I have to say my new favourite is Embossing paste I love the texture and wow it provides
especially the white onto kraft cardstock.

Brenda

I love texture!  I guess that's why I love embossing so much.  I have to say heat embossing is my favorite, the process is magical to me.  I used both embossing paste and heat embossing on my project for this challenge.

Elaine

My favourite is dry embossing. I love the stunning effects it creates. 

Kat

My favourite type of embossing is heat embossing using Frantage embossing powder as it gives such a pretty delicate finish  and complements the slightly shabby chic look that I love.

Lori

My favorite is dry embossing - I love how it adds quick, FUN detail to a project and gives it some texture:

Lorraine

My favourite is dry embossing, there are so many beautiful embossing folders out there to choose from that give such interesting texture to your project. 

Mojca

I prefer dry embossing to heat because when I try to do good heat embossing something always goes wrong, the dust doesn't stick properly on all the parts and so I usually give up :) Also dry embossing gives you lovely 3D look on the paper.

Sarah

I couldn't decide so have included both on my card. Love the texture and interest that both dry and heat embossing give.

Squirrel


I used to heat emboss a lot, before I discovered Memento ink for stamping, but nowadays I barely do it at all.  I have been experimenting recently with embossing with cutting dies and am getting some interesting results.

Wilma

I love dry embossing. It's so much easier, quick and less messy. 

So now it's over to you.
