Technique: Faux Letterpressing

January 5, 2015 by Heather Holbrook

Technique: Faux Letterpressing

Letterpressing is a lovely but sometimes messy process and you might not have all  the “proper” tools for the job. Not too worry, you can achieve similarly stunning results using your embossing folders. Add metallic ink directly onto the plastic of the folder, place your paper inside and then run through your embossing/die cutting machine and ta-da, you’ve got a lovely faux letterpress look, sure to impress! Find directons for this technique over at Sweet Shop Stamp blog.
