CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Embossing Folder Technique

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is techniques using embossing folders. I think a really fun technique that has a wow factor is embossing two tone cardstock, and sanding it to reveal the white core, which is what I did for this card.

A 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Crumb Cake Two Tone Cardstock was first die cut with a Stylish Shapes circle, then embossed with the Dotted Circles folder and sanded lightly with a sanding block. It was matted on 4" x 5-1/4" Basic White and adhered to the Crumb Cake card base.

Then I got to work stamping and die cutting all the Impressions Abloom flowers (with Drusy embellishments added to the small ones) and leaves, and arranging and rearranging them until I was satisfied. The greeting was stamped in Berry Burst.

 

That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori de Groot at Loritamarie Crafts.
