    Guest Sandi Genovese shares two techniques to create embossed scrapbooks--one baby album and one wedding guest book.

    First she shares an embossing method using brass stencils. Using the die-cut machine to press paper between "positive" and "negative" stencil sheets produces an embossed image that looks as if it were produced the traditional way, with a stylus and a light box. Sandi uses these embossed images to create borders and stand-alone elements to dress a scrapbook.

    Next Sandi shares an embossing technique that tricks the eye. She layers identically cut shapes on top of one another to mimic the rises and recesses produced through traditional embossing. She also shows us another trick of using slices of the same die-cut shape (but this time, cut from a slightly darker paper) on the uppermost layer to imitate the subtle shading associated with embossing.
