Debossing with Dies

Hi!
I'm over on the Lawnscaping blog, sharing a pretty simple way to make your dies even more versatile.  I recently discovered how to deboss without cutting using my dies!

First, I started out by stamping the cute little paper airplane and trail from Flying By.  I colored it in with Spectrum Noir markers, being careful to match the patterned paper I picked out (Daphne's Closet).

Then I grabbed the circle die I wanted (Quickutz) and placed it, cut side down onto the card.  I adhered it in place using some washi tape.

Then, I flipped it over.  Using my Cuttlebug, from the BOTTOM UP, this is the order:

A Plate
B Plate
Die
Cardstock
3 pieces of scrap cardstock
Tan Mat
B Plate

Once it comes out, gently pull up the washi tape (it could rip since so much pressure was applied) and you have a debossed image!

For this card, I wanted to deboss multiple times, so I ran the die through over and over again until I had the pattern I wanted.


The final card:

And this view shows the debossing a little better:

I figured now that Lawn Fawn has so many amazing dies out, this is the perfect technique to use (and excuse to buy those dies!)!!
