Embedded Embossing

I had a fun workshop on Saturday with a great group of girls who are very crafty and many of them sew and quilt, so I thought the embedded embossing technique would be a fun one to demonstrate!  You can find all the details of how to do it here on SCS.

I made this sample for the F4A59 challenge on SCS:

I punched out 3/4” squares of Sew Suite DP for my “quilt” and adhered it to a scallop diecut from the Scallop Squares Duo, then ran it through my Square Lattice embossing folder.  I stamped the deacon’s bench from Have a Seat and overstamped the sentiment from Three Little Words.  Here’s a closer look at the quilt:

This is the card that we made at the party:

I realize as I photographed this, that a better match for the sentiment would have been Baja Breeze!  That and Marina Mist always get confused in my mind.  Anyway, everyone seemed to enjoy it; the papers we used for this quilt were Elegant Soiree and Soft Suede.  Everyone got to assemble their own little “quilt” and I used this awesome new-to-me product that SU sells called Big Shot Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets.  I just cut a piece 2 1/4” square, peeled off the waxy paper and we stuck the little squares to the sticky side.  We then adhered that piece to our scalloped square, adhered that to the Soft Suede and ran it through the embossing folder.  Easier than trying to glue or put Snail on those little pieces!
