Today I have more samples where I played with the birthday embossing folders.
Let’s start with this pair of notecard sized cards using the two sentiment small folders.
For these I went with inking in vintage photo over the embossed panels and then teamed them both with a floral die cut.
I love both of the sentiments – just such fun and easy to use.
A simple pair of lovely little notecard sized birthday cards. Would be perfect for adding a gift card inside!
The next one I went with inking again but this time for two panels.
I inked the panels first with the three ink colours and then embossed them and then went over with the same ink blending brushes to pick up on the texture!
Whilst I did add some patterned paper underneath this would also be perfect for a cleaner look with just the inky panels!
This card I did something a little different – using alcohol markers to colour the reverse of the embossing on the vellum!
It’s subtle but it works well!
After colouring it and then trimming and adding to the card base I then added the die cut sentiment on the top.
Then I added small dots of the glitter glue to the flames to just bring them to life with the sparkle.
And finally I went back to the inking of the embossing – but this time for a blue themed card.
Adding layers of the patterned paper with the embossed panels is fun to create this 6×6 card:
Then I stepped it up a little with the wink of Stella being used to give more sparkle and shimmer to the words!
I did add in the pop of other colour with the yellow dots but I love this otherwise monochrome card!
Happy crafting!
