FISKARS TEXTURE PLATE & EMBOSSING TOOL REVIEW Manufacturer: Fiskars Review: The plates are extremely easy to work with as they can be used by themselves or by pegging or by pegging them to the Fiskars Embossing system for added stability. Each plate measuring 7 ½ x 5 ¾ inches, has 2 textures – one on each side and is typically sold in packs of 4 or by the new assortment pack of 12!! You can find textures such as hearts, stones, lines, waves, dots, stars, leaves, wood grain, brick, bubbles, squares and fabric. With so many diverse textures, how can you go wrong! Instructions for Use For best results, remember to use the tool in a circular motion and cover the page completely to get the full affect of the pattern when embossing a full sheet of paper. If the tool seems to catch the paper at any point, a good tip is to place a sheet of wax paper in between the paper and tool to help it glide and reduce friction. Creative Uses So, if you haven't tried the latest texture plates and embossing tool from Fiskars, what are you waiting for? Visit www.fiskars.com for more tips, techniques and project ideas.
