Embossing adds texture and added interest to paper and it makes an even more impressive statement on ribbon. Hello ribbon lovers. Lalo here and I want to show you how to jazz up the ribbon in your stash by adding embossing to them.
First, you are going to coat both sides of your ribbon with a sealer. One even coat should be fine.
Making sure the first side dries before flipping over to paint the other.
One your ribbon is completely dry, it’s time to emboss.
Sandwich your ribbon into an embossing folder (This would be the best type of embossing for this project). Now run it thought your machine twice just like you would paper.
You should have a nicely embossed piece of ribbon ready for you to jazz up your projects.
Here are some ideas:
- As the perfect accent to a card
- As a fabulous bookmark
