Today, we’re diving into a fun and dramatic technique that’s sure to make your cards stand out—the popular Blackout Technique using embossing folders. If you love bold, textured designs with a bit of contrast, this technique is for you!
VIDEO
I have a video walking you through how I created this card step-by-step. You can view the video down below or HERE on my Youtube channel.
I walk through all of the supplies in the video but I will like the main supplies down below. A full supply list is linked in the video description and a visual supply list is linked at the end of this post.
Full disclosure. I was inspired by a video by Nichol Spohr. I will link her video HERE. She did this technique during STAMPtember 2024 and I’ve been anxious to try it even since.
