Holiday Embossing

Two beautiful sets of blind-embossed holiday cards designed by Chad at The G Brand.

A quick refresher: A blind emboss uses a convex die to press the paper from the back into a concave counter-die in the front creating a raised surface. This is not to be confused with a letterpress deboss — the impression made by a letterpress die pressing into the front of the paper.
