These cards were so much fun to create! I loved all the different varieties of prints you could get from one embossing folder and the Gel Press.💙

What a fun way to extend the use of embossing folders! Love that under the sea card!

Great tips, Simon and a really good video! Thank you!

Great idea to use our embossing folders. I usually don't like what I make with the gel press but I will definitely try this out. I love the fish card!

Beautiful. I use acrylic sheets or blocks instead of the plastic. Really gives a lot of control. I especially loved the blue/green circle one with the white area around it before you put color over it. Very rich looking. Thank you for sharing.

Great ideas, Simon. You're always so helpful.

I must try this technique. Love your cards.

Nice results! (BTW, stamps and stencils aren’t “1D, ” they’re 2D — height x width, just missing depth.) Love the offset placement of the 3x5 print. Definitely using your tip about coloring die cut high points. Thanks!

Do you always put the thing back on top of your gel press, bc I have heard "Never use them again" or "you put it back on." That was a what kind of tool, an embossing tools, I've never seen one before. But, I'm new at this.

Hold the sentiment with a clip clothespin so you don't burn yourself while heat embossing.
