help embossing vellum

[Dena Wagner]

Could some one please give me the sandwich instructions for the big shot to use the textured impressions folder with vellum. Keeps ripping through. Thank you

Hmm...I haven't tried it yet, but what if you used two layers of vellum at a time?

Change your sandwich by going up one platform and use a thin shim. I was embossing some vellum recently and had to use a very thin shim and change the platform so tha it wouldn't cut through. You can also do do two layers at a time. Don't use vellum paper though..only vellum card stock.

Are you using vellum paper or vellum card stock? My paper rips but the card stock doesn't.

Try inserting a damp paper towel or diaper wipe into the folder with the paper.

Another vote for vellum cardstock. I never use vellum paper because it is so thin.
