Custom Monograms: Part 1

How to create a custom monogram to be used with dry embossing. See part 2 for how to use the same monogram with heat embossing.

SPECIAL NOTE: It is best to use a font/letter with wide openings. This prevents details from being lost while cutting out the letters. Unfortunately, this technique does not work with any letters with loops or round containers, such as an 'o' or uppercase 'R."

That looks nice and elegant.

A Cricut and Cuttlebug will do this over and over fast. However this is a quick inexpensive way to emboss.
