Getting the 'Rooted in Nature' stamp set and it's coordinating dies 'Nature's Root' had me a bit intimidated. Within the dies, there are embossed dies. I first needed to buy the Embossing Mats from SU before taking a stab at these.
The instructions are pretty straight forward. When die-cutting... place the dies downward. When embossing with the dies... place the dies upward. Now, I had trouble with the paper staying within the die after cutting the shape out. Which it says to die-cut first, then emboss. Well, it wasn't working for me, as the paper would slip. So I embossed the image first, then die-cut them out. Perfect leaves!
I love the finished result! I'll need to practice using the embossing dies more though!
Thanks for taking a peek!
