Tips on Using the Mandala Reflections Embossing BoardSimply place card or paper over your chosen design on the Mandala Board and emboss using either a 3mm or 5mm ball tool. You may wish to cut around the embossed image using scissors or a craft knife.
Shaping or Embossing Greetings Cards
The Larger designs are designed to shape cards. Placing the card against the raised edges of the board will align the shapes to the card. The large square and circular designs are aligned for A5 cards, the rectangular shapes are aligned for A6 cards and the small square shapes are suitable for positioning along a DL card.
Tips:
- You may wish to place the Mandala Reflections Board on a lightbox. This will enable you to see the embossing grooves in the board. Note, it will not work for dark card and Mirror card.
- It may be helpful to fix your card to the board with repositionable adhesive dots.
- To get sharper embossed images treat with Paper Glide
- To obtain a sharper embossed image emboss with a 5mm ball tool and emboss a second time with a 2.8mm or 3mm ball tool.
- When cutting around your embossed image, allow a small edge (perhaps one millimeter or sixteenth of an inch). This leaves the full embossed line, making for a better finish and is easier to cut.
- Use for Layering, Stamping, Gift boxes, gift tags, wedding stationary and more...
