Embossing with the Robo?

[silverst170]

Yes it works. On vellum you will get a good result even with the small craft robo. Cardstock is more problematic as you do really need a higher pressure than either craft robos will give - I was using 500 pressure to get really good results on card. Paper I have yet to try, but that may work with the craft robos.
Soft metals certainly will.

That's a good Result then Dawn thank the lord So I'm not selling duff stuff then ?


I'm still waiting for my kit to arrrive so I can have a go

Tina,

Does your embossing kit work with the CR Pro please? I've been getting mixed results with F.Foam and an ordinary stylus. I've found that a lot is down to the choice of material. Some pearlescent card I have appears to have a very strong plasticy ( is that a word?) covering and that doesn't work well, but I have some with a much softer feel and that works better. I'm assuming that with the right tools the results will be even better.

I can't imagine that you will get better impressions with any thing other than the C.B. The downside is that you can't use your own designs. I like using cut up pieces of aluminium drinks cans in my C.B. The dies cut through it O.K and you get a great impression with the folders.

Has anyone actually tried the shop bought embossing tools/system yet mentioned earlier in this thread - its a bit expensive with mat extra but if it does a good job then its worth it I reckon - does it?
