The 5 Ways Showcasing Back-to-Back Embossing are:

- Use Specialty Cardstock or Spray Regular Cardstock with a Shimmer Spray with your folders
- With embossing folders that have no clear direction, you can do this technique with a top-folding A2 card. Be mindful of fold of where design ends on embossing folder and line up folder carefully with cardstock
