My challenge was figuring out the correct sandwich to achieve this technique with the Stampin' Cut 'n Emboss machine. I went through several sandwich iterations until I landed on the one that worked best for me. For this technique and my Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine, here's what I used. You may have to play around a bit with your machine to see what's right for your machine.
Here's the sandwich that worked for me:
(2) Cutting Plates (I used a Magic mat as one of my cutting plates)
Embossing Mat* (no longer a Stampin' Up! item)
Here's another tip: be sure to use the Stampin' Spritzer to spritz the cardstock with water. This will reduce the potential for the cardstock to crack and give you a crisper image.
I chose to use the embossed panel in its most basic form but that doesn't mean you can't do a whole lot more with it. I'm going to create a couple more embossed panels and post them on my Pinterest page over the next couple of weeks. Keep checking there for more.
I hope you give this technique a try. It really was very simple...just the way I prefer my cards, simple yet elegant.
