Happy Tuesday, Friends! Today, I’d like to share with you a very colorful trio of cards made showcasing the latest, March 2021 Embossing Folder Collection. So, without further ado, let’s jump right into the step-by-step for how I made them ↓
Scallops Embossing Folder Rainbows Card
This collection includes this fabulous Scallops Embossing Folder which can be use as borders, waves or why not for a cloudy sky just like, I‘m using for the first example so therefore, I started by placing an A2 white card panel inside the embossing folder and then, I went ahead to run them through my Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine following the dry embossing instructions.
Once, I had finished dry embossing it, I went ahead to add a slightly pop of color to it using an ink blending brush along with a light Aqua color ink. Thus, as soon as I added the pop of color to it, I’ve gone ahead to adhere the backing of it with double-sided tape to an A2 top folding white card base and then, I’ve gone ahead to get the embellishing done using, some die-cutting rainbows and clouds which, I’ve had previously die-cut out of cardstock using a die from a previous glimmer club kit of the month. Last but certainly not least, I finished the card off by mounting a glimmer foiled sentiment and by gluing down with liquid glue here and there crystal sequins to add an extra touch of shine.
Sun Rays Embossing Folder Floral Card
For the second example, I made a partial floral wreath with a white on white textured background panel so therefore, I went ahead to dry emboss an A2 size white card panel using Sun Rays Embossing Folder and once again the instructions from my Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine.
Once, I had finished the dry embossing for the card panel, I went ahead to adhere the backing of it with double-sided tape to an A2 top folding white card base. And then, I went ahead to embellish the focal point of the card so therefore to do that, I mounted a die-cutting white circle in the center of the card with a narrow piece of craft foam tape to add a bit of dimension, and as soon as I had that done, I’ve gone ahead to glue down some of the die-cutting flowers and leaves on the upper and bottom part of the die-cutting circle. Last but not least, I mounted a glimmer foiled sentiment in the center of the card and then, I’ve gotten glue down some of the crystal sequins to add a touch of shine.
NOTE: I used Standard Circle LG Die Set to die-cut out of white cardstock the large circle frame, Simply Perfect Layered Blooms Etched Dies to die-cut the flowers and sprigs and, Heart Melt Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set as the sentiment for the card.
Plaid Company Embossing Folder Detailed Card
For the third and last example, I created a clean and simple encouragement card with a plaid textured white card panel so therefore, to do that I repeated the same steps as I did for the previous dry embossing card panel however, using this time Plaid Company Embossing Folder. Thus, as soon as I had finished dry embossing the card pane, I’ve gone ahead to adhere the backing of with double-sided tape to an A2 top folding white card base.
Next, I created the die-cutting floral cluster for the card by using dies from the same die set that I used in the previous example. So, as soon as I had the floral cluster done, I’ve gone ahead to mount with craft foam tape a dotted card panel right in the center of the card front and then, I glued down with liquid glue the floral cluster on the left side of it. Lastly, to finish the card off, I mounted a glimmer hot foiled sentiment and then I went ahead to glue down here and there crystal sequins to compliment the shine on all 3 examples.
NOTE: I used, Mini Everyday Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set for the sentiment on this example and Nestabilities Essential Rectangles Etched Dies Set to create the dotted card panel.
