Selective Embossing

When embossing with a Spellbinders embossing mat, you get embossing where the embossing mat is located....so where there is no mat, you get no embossing. While playing with the new Impressabilities, I thought, why not cut out a shape in an extra mat and then I could use the shape or the frame to emboss only those areas. You can see that I used both the circle and the frame of the circle on a couple of cards. I also cut a mat out the shape of the Spellbinders heart....underneath the buttons, there is no embossing. I think I will be buying some more mats.....and you know they never wear out! Well, they might get cut into if you try flattening a real spoon in your Wizard....but that is another story!
