Halloween Night/Poison #656943 and Checkerboard & Cracked #656646. Tip from Tim Holtz: Combine embossing and stamping! Here, Tim inked the background of the tag in a darker orange first, then embossed with the Checkerboard folder, and lightly rubbed distress ink over the embossed area. To complete this tag, stamp a spooky spider web, add a skinny embossed skelation from the Halloween Night folder and attach ribbons and trendy test paper with staples.

Tip from Tim Holtz! Create a debossed effect. This tag was created by inking a woodgrain folder and then embossing the tag to create a stamped and debossed effect. Enhance the wood grain with all sorts of dramatic embellishments!

We include this sample to show you can emboss patterned paper! This paper has a white core so when you scuff the embossed numbers they show through as white.

This sample shows you can stamp a greeting before embossing. If you want to leave an area unembossed look for the Embossing Diffusers!

Inking the embossing folder will add dimension to your embossed image!
