The Ultimate is an excellent scoring/embossing tool. The case has many embossing grooves on every available surface (marked with dimensions where appropriate). Plus you can purchase extra embossing boards that pop right onto two little pegs to hold them securely in place (very important when embossing).I bought the Christmas set of two two-sided embossing boards and was pleased to discover they can be stored right in the Ultimate carrying/crafting case.
Honestly, this thing is now reminding me of the college stunt, let’s see how many people we can stuff into a phone booth. The Ultimate is just jam-packed with features.
I used the triple waves on one of the Christmas-themed embossing boards to create a dimensional accent on the card front. This trim detail mirrors the wavy background and water theme of Deb’s drawing.
The Xyron X sticker maker easily created one long strip of Deb Terry Art logo stickers for the back of the note cards.
The Xyron Creatopia handled the larger task of turning the 20 Deb Terry prints into stickers that could be firmly affixed to each card front.
The Ultimate also makes custom envelopes a breeze. I toyed with the idea of making envelopes using lighter weight paper to match each cardstock color. That would be fine for cards I use myself. However, since I want to gift sets of these cards, I decided to use commercial envelopes with mucilage.
