Dry Embossing - Securing Your Paper

Place the paper over the stencil and position as desired. Carfully tape the corners with masking tape. You may want to test your tape first to make sure it will remove cleanly. Cardstock or any heavier paper will work best, thin sheets of paper rip easily. Vellum also works great! To help your stylus glide over the paper easier and reduce the risks of tears, rub wax paper over your paper surface.
