2 UNIQUE Ways to Use a Debossing Cover Die! (Take 2 Video)

Do you have any Debossing Cover Dies? AND is it time that you used them? Today I create 2 unique designs which give different looks using the same die!

It’s time to stretch our supplies again and this one is with the Dotted Geo Cover Die.

This is part of my Take 2 Series with Altenew and I love how different these cards look and they use nearly the same products.

Idea #1 – Floral Window Background

I thought it would be fun to create a pattern exactly where the die debosses… and leave a ‘window’ for the sentiment!

But this wasn’t as easy as it seemed. Somehow I had to work out where to mask the window before I created my pattern. I ended up using a ‘hinge’ method which you can see in the video linked below.

BONUS TIP: For an easier design, simply stamp and blend to whole panel and use the non-debossed area for your sentiment.

My floral background design was created using the Lush Garden Project Kit. And, I decided to add a Versatile Greetings Die cut sentiment in my window.

Idea #2 – Blended Background

I had blended a panel that wasn’t ‘working’ for me so I decided to save it! I used the Dotted Geo Cover Die to deboss the design…

And then came in with new ink colours over top. I really like how these highlighted the dotted panel. Then, for this design I added a retro sentiment from the Bold Greetings Die Set.

And both cards feature some sweet silhouette butterflies from the Meadow Reflections Bundle.

Are you inspired to create with a debossed Cover Die? Also, did you know that you can get a similar look using a regular Cover Die with a silicon mat to deboss the image? Check out HOW to do that in this video HERE!

You can see the creative process for these cards which you can watch right here or in HD on YouTube.

  1. I love how you did the first card without the outline, Therese. I held my breath watching the video but you worked out that center perfectly.
