Metal, card stock or vellum (virtually any material that you can make a dent in with a stylus) is placed between the dry embossing stencil plates. The purpose of the top stencil is to give you a pattern to follow with your stylus. The purpose of the bottom stencil is to allow the stylus to push the material down into the patterns, which stretches the material permanently, creating the raised embossed image.
Because the stencils and material are firmly held in place you can produce a sharper, better image. Most importantly, you don’t need x-ray vision to see your stencil’s outline!
When I used my old system to stencil through heavy paper into the dry embossing stencil plate below, I had trouble keeping my stylus from slipping out of line. No more! The ShapeBoss is simply revolutionary.
In addition to the ShapeBoss box itself, you can buy different dry embossing stencil sets, allowing thousands of different designs to be produced.
The ShapeBoss can also be used with Fiskars
Shapecutter
to create cutouts of your choice.
Fiskars also makes the
ScrapBoss
which is basically the same as the Shapeboss, but accommodates 12 x 12 inch pages, for scrapbooking and other needs.
Dry-embossing is now accessible to everyone – from kids to adults with disabilities. Your imagination is your only limitation.
Embossed designs add a special elegance to scrapbook pages, collages, note cards, wedding invitations, menu cards, holiday cards and ornaments. There’s just no end to what you can create and what an impression (pun intended) you can make!
