Technique #2 - Sanding: After embossing your paper, try gently sanding it with a fine grit sandpaper. I recommend going one direction only so as not to tear your paper. Close To My Heart Cardstock has a white core, so you get a pretty white pattern. This example I have sanded quite a lot, but you can sand less for a more subtle white pattern.
When I didn't know about Close to My Heart, I remember going to Robert's Crafts (a favorite store in Utah). I bought cardstock, but couldn't figure out why it didn't look as nice as my friend RaNae's embossing.
DUH! We are the ones with the white core!
