Iconic Dies | Faux Dry Embossing

Hello my stamping friends.

So have you ever created a project using mostly die-cut elements?  This is a fun way to create a Faux Dry Embossing image.  Today I am using the Iconic Dies from the 2021-2022 annual catalog.  Sadly, I just got these dies and they are now on the Retiring List!  So good thing I get to share at least a couple of projects with you, just in case they catch your interest and you want to scoop them up before they are sold out and retired.

Watch the full Stampin’ Show & Tell tutorial and see how I put these two projects together!

Well, what die-cuts are your favorites and can you work them into a Faux Dry Embossed project? Leave me a comment, and let me know which dies you will be crafting with.

If you need a list of supplies or the written instructions, they are here as well.  Just keep scrolling to find all the details.

Happy Stampin,
