Waxed Paper Cuttlebug Embossing

Supplies needed: Cuttlebug or other embossing machine, embossing folders, glossy card stock, waxed paper, iron, craft sheet, brayer, ink pads (rainbow if possible)



Run the waxed paper through your embossing folder


Take a piece of glossy card and place it gloss faced up


Place your embossed piece of waxed paper on top of the glossy card


Now place another piece of glossy card on top, gloss side faced down. So you should have a sandwich of glossy card, waxed paper and glossy card. The glossy sides should be in contact with the waxed paper


Using a warm iron, iron your sandwich. You should get a feel for when it's done as the card will 'slip' due to the wax being transferred from the paper onto the glossy card


You will end up with your waxed paper which has lost its wax, and a negative and positive of the pattern on the glossy sides of your card stock


Ink up a brayer, preferably a rainbow one


And brayer your glossy card - I used the Kaledicolor bouquet ink pad for this one


The Kaledicolor birthstone ink pad for this one


The woodlands Adirondack ink pad for this one


The Adirondack rueberry ink pad on this one, but I also used a babywipe to wipe away some of the ink
