The first thing you'll do is get a thin double sided tape. You can use something slightly thicker than what I have here, but having it very nice and thin is ideal.
If you don't have one this thin, you can just split your regular-sized tape in half with a scissor.
Now, I have my card here which is almost finished. I just carefully started placing my double sided tape around my sentiment to form a rectangle shape. Press it hard into the card to ensure that it is stuck down.
Don't rush it! Make sure you align it straight so it won't appear wonky.
Once you complete your box shape with your tape, you can start removing the top white part to expose the adhesive.
And now the fun part! Let's start embossing! I'm using a gold embossing powder for this one. Just sprinkle some powder on top of the adhesive. Make sure you cover everything to fill the box shape.
Remove the excess powder and dry with a heat tool.
Once completely dry, you'll be left with this beautiful and shiny embossed border!
It's so easy and simple to do but it can make such a big difference to the design of your card!
