How does embossing work on thick cards?
This is an interesting question that takes a little bit of explanation. The short answer is that often debossing (pushing inward/downward) works better on thicker pieces. If you deboss the inversion or negative space around your object or text you have essentially embossed it anyways... so sometimes just a bit of cleverness in how you set up your art is required.
For those who really do want to keep embossing (raised / outward) effect ... you need to know that the effect will be quite a bit more subtle than it otherwise would be on a thing single layer paper stock. You see, to make fat papers we often glue two sheets of card stock together, in order to do this they are squeezed and trimmed in the hydraulic cutter. This squeezing pressure can reduce the height of any embossed areas a bit, thus undoing the work. It is for this reason that we often recommend sticking with debossings for projects using thicker paper.
