3D Embossing Folders

Good morning all, I hope you are having a good week. Today's card is one I tried after watching another of Jennifer McGuire's fabulous videos.

It uses one of the new 3D embossing Folders from Tim Holtz, this one came in a recent Simon Says Stamp kit. 

I inked the flat side of the folder with Simon Says Stamp, Pale Blush Pink ink, and then put a piece of plain white card inside and ran it through the Bigshot.

The resulting look from the white embossed flowers and the coloured background is really lovely, so I will definitely be trying this again.

I then used a Spellbinders frame die in 2 different sizes to cut the centre piece, I cut 4 of these and layered them together for dimension.

Then I added a sentiment made from a Lil Inker's, Ever die and stamp set, and a Clearly Besotted stamp set. The Ever is coloured with the same blush pink ink, applied to the die cut directly from the ink pad, which makes it look darker!

Then all it needed to finished it off was a few plain dewdrops. Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Best Birthday Ever

Good morning all, I hope you are having a good week so far. I am continuing the floral theme today with this birthday card that uses a floral background die.

The floral background in the centre of my card, is cut from an XCut large background die called Floral Filigree Background. I die cut it using a heavy weight white card, and just used a small piece of it for the centre of my card. 

I used a dark pink card behind it and then white card on the top and bottom. Then I layered this on to a pale pink note card.

The large sentiment die cut, is from Lil Inker Designs, as is the white heat embossed sentiment, the rest of the sentiment came from a Honey Bee Stamps set called Happiness.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Teal floral

Hello and Happy Easter! Thank you for joining us today.

Last week I made several cards using up scraps and leftovers.  Today I am using all new purchases!

This wonderful cover die is from Poppy Crafts, The sentiment is a stamp and die from Lil' Inker and the rose is from Altenew.

The sentiment and flower were cut from white card which I coloured with some Copic markers in  shades of turquoise.  I added some shimmer pen to make them stand out a little and layered the EVER with three white die cuts.

I heat embossed the Happy Birthday on to the same dark teal card I used for the background, using bright white embossing powder from Simon Says Stamp.  

I love this cover plate die and think the white die cut looks so dramatic against the dark coloured background.  What do you think?
