    Ask Beate
    Beate Johns answers your technique questions
    Q: Addy asked: "Hi Beate, just wanted to know if you had a tutorial on dry embossing with chipboard. I saw a page with this technique on another website but the instructions were no longer able to be viewed. Any suggestions?"
    A: We don't have a step-by-step tutorial for that yet, but it's pretty easy. Take the reverse piece from your punched out chipboard and use it like you would a brass template. Rub wax paper over your cardstock and place it over of your chipboard. Now trace the chipboard shape with your stylus tool. You could probably use the chipboard piece itself. Just be careful not to tear your cardstock.

    Feedback From Past Tutorials
    Shirley has a suggestion for the Stipple Basic tutorial: "I've done this sort of thing with masking - used die cut shapes as the mask, stippled around them, then used as a print plate. I ended up with two gorgeous pieces of paper and a bunch of nicely decorated die cut shapes."
