Embossing folder technique

[candukiwi]

hi everyone,

I was wondering if you can help me with a name of a technique.

I want to stamp an image then use an embossing folder but don�t want to emboss over the stamped image. What is this technique called.

Thank you
Nicki

I�ve always just called this technique Partial Embossing.

I know it as double embossing, as per the SCS tutorial here: Double Embossing Tutorial - Splitcoaststampers
But both dry and heat embossing techniques have different names for the same technique depending on who it was learned from and it can be quite confusing.

Here is a good tutorial from Simon Says Stamps

There are Tim Holtz Embossing Diffusers. Here's the ones I have: Amazon.com: Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations Collection 3 Pack Embossing Diffuser Set # 1: Arts, Crafts & Sewing

Thank you that was exactly what I was looking for��

A DIY solution works pretty well and offers more flexibility if you don�t want to shell out on another product. The tutorial Sabrina linked to shows you how to do it with a die cut shape but you can do pretty much anything - I just tore up a cereal packet and used a couple of layers to get a partial impression on this card

Oh, I like Joanne's idea of using a cereal box to make Diffusers! I've been wanting to try this technique myself. ;)
