Next, we are going to 3D emboss an A2 panel of
Oceanside cardstock with the
Ornate Molded Frame 3D embossing folder. The best plate sandwich for running this through your
Platinum 6 is Platform Base A, 3D Embossing Folder with paper inside, and Adapter Plate D.
TIP (not pictured): To help the paper not crack, I like to mist the back of my cardstock with a little bit of water. Some crafters prefer to mist the front, but I have found the back works best for me!
I decided the Christmas lights cat needed a bed, so I die-cut the pieces from
Blush cardstock and quickly glued them together (not shown).

Next, we are going to hot foil the sentiment. To start, turn on your
Glimmer Hot Foil System, then let it heat up. Once the green indicator light notifies you that the platform is ready, place the sentiment from
Meowy Christmas Sentiments on it and hit the timer button. Once the timer button stops flashing, prep your
Rose Gold hot foil and white cardstock.

Remove the platform from the base, then place the
Rose Gold foil pretty side down on the hot foil plate. Place the white cardstock over top, then layer the plate sandwich on top and run through a
Platinum 6 diecut machine.
TIP: I like to add a cardstock shim in the middle of the glimmer sandwich to help press plates foil more accurately.
Die-cut the sentiment with the coordinating die.
Glue the 3D embossed panel to an A2-sized white card base.
