New at SU! Blog Hop - Embossing Folder Techniques

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today, I am participating in the New at SU! blog hop. We are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world who are full of creative papercrafting ideas to share with you to get you crafting.

This month we are focussing on projects using Embossing Folders. I love adding textures and layers to my cards and embossing folders are an ideal way to add that extra bit of interest.

My card two types of embossing. The flowers and sentiment are white heat embossed and one of the layers has texture created with the Distressed Tile 3-d embossing folder.

I stamped several flowers on to a sheet of the Unbounded Beauty DSP, using Petunia Pop ink, die cut them and adhered them, together with some Summer Splash die cut foliage, onto a Basic White layer. After embossing this layer with the Distressed Tile folder the images became embedded into the pattern. I added further stamped and die cut images on top of this layer creating more height and dimension. The Petunia Pop flowers serve as the background for the Basic White elements!

Pretty cards look even better when there is a hint of sparkle so I added a trio of In-Color Shimmer Gems and coloured some of the flower petals with Wink of Stella. I adjusted the length of the die cut for the white heat embossed sentiment by cutting it twice to shorten it and raised it with Dimensionals over a loosely tied Baker's Twine bow.

I hope that you have been inspired by my project today. Continuing along the hop to the others will provide you with even more project ideas - you are currently with me, Furry Cat Designs by Karen Henderson - but before you hop on to the next post, please take a moment to leave a comment. We love reading your comments!
