How To Use An Embossing Folder For A Thanks Card.

Welcome to Septembers Build & Bloom Blog Hop. This month our theme is Embossing. There are two main types of embossing; Heat Embossing where you stamp an image/sentiment with sticky ink and cover with embossing powder, and heat to melt the powder. This gives a shinny raised result. Dry Embossing using a embossing folder to press a design into cardstock. This is usually done by inserting cardstock into a plastic folder and running through a machine.

I want to highlight dry embossing and how stunning the designs can be. I am currently in love with the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder. Its delicate design is perfect for backgrounds and layering onto.

Embossed Background ThanksCard

Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder Embossed Pool Party Background. Fresh Fresia, Misty Moonlight, Old Olive & Pool Party flowers and leaves fussy cut from Floral Impressions DSP. Thanks card.

Create an A6 cardbase, measuring 10.5cm x 14.9cm, using Pool Party cardstock. Cut a piece of Pool Party cardstock measuring 10cm x 14.4cm and emboss with the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder. Adhere to the front on your cardbase.

Fussy cut a section of flowers from the Floral Impression DSP, (designer series paper), big enough to be the main image on your card but not overpower your embossing. Adhere flat to your card front. Select a variety of extra flowers and fussy cut.

Stamp your sentiment onto Fresh Freesia cardstock, using Misty Moonlight ink. Trim to suit and adhere to your card front using Dimensionals. Adhere your single flowers around your sentiment using a mixture of Dimensionals and multi purpose adhesive.

Finish your card by adding several Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots, in Pool Party and Fresh Freesia.
