DIY: Embossed Tissue Paper


Recently HSN aired several scrapbooking episodes and I always like to DVR them so I can watch for any ideas they might share. Some of the airings have the same projects but you can get lucky to get a new tip and see what is new in the crafty world. While watching one of the episodes they shared a great tip on embossing tissue paper I thought I would share.

Start with one piece of tissue paper folded to fit into your embossing folder.


Use the appropriate plates for your die cutting/embossing machine and run it through once. I have a Cuttlebug and because of the thickness of the tissue being folded I had to use a smaller plate than usual.


Open your embossing folder to reveal your new tissue paper. Carefully unfold the paper to ensure it does not rip. People will wonder how much you spent on embossed tissue paper when it only takes a couple of minutes to fold the paper and run it through your machine.


Have fun creating tissue paper to match any event!
