Instructions:

1. Run a piece of 3” x 4” piece of Baja Breeze CS through the Big Shot using the Finial Press Embossing folder.

This is such a simple technique but will give your projects a visual depth and interest and will really pop them and wow the recipient. Try it with any of our embossing folders.
