I sand most of of my patterned paper die cuts, at least when I use Spellbinders dies. It will bring out the embossed inner edge. I love that. I use a white sanding block. It is called burnishing block in some stores.

I also sand most of my patterned paper layers. What can I say? Sanding and stitching are my two go to techniques for most of my cards.
