Embossing Templates allow plenty of room around each shape to press multiple layers and complex shapes into soft clays such as metal clay, polymer clays, ceramic, air-dry, paper, terra cotta and more. Each Embossing Template shape is designed to work with a Trim Shape, Outer Shape or Inner Shape. Create layered effects by rolling the center image first and working outward. Layers can then be decorated, textured, carved and embellished with gems.
