Hey All,
I have a request to emboss a picture frame Mat Board, I have been experimenting with transfer tape and Rub'nBuff without success.
I am rastering a name and date, approximately 30pt script font.
I am rastering through a medium tack transfer tape to use it as a mask.
I then apply some rubnbuff...
The rubnbuff adheres to the paper but i get some rough edges from the transfer tape adhesive.
I tried rastering with more power to get good depth in the mat however the edges still are not crisp, I also get some smudging.
I want to try laser foil, however after watching a few videos I don't think it will be good on card stock or mat board, the adhesive looks too tacky when it is peeled after vector cutting (on the videos it looks like this, I haven't tried it). I worried it may rip the cardstock paper surface when weeding.
Any suggestions? Should I use a different product?
I would like to get a shiny gold or silver finish...
Thanks!
