Hello, Stampers!
Did you know that you can use your stash of stencils and/or Decorative Masks as embossing folders? All of the above patterns were created using stencils and my Big Shot. And, in some cases, depending if you want to add a heavy coating of Distress Ink, you can even get a transfer image at the same time, like the top photo. I haven't tried this yet with SU! inks, but I will. It is a simple technique, but not quick.
