I hadn't played with my embossing folders for quite some time, so when I saw that the optional theme at Allsorts this week was EMBOSSING . . . I thought I'd get my folders out and dust them off!
The one I most fancied playing with was a cute Sizzix bird folder. Take a look at the picture below to see what I made.
 |
| The card measures 4" x 4¾" |
 |
| The materials I used to emboss a white snippet of card. |
I had a go at inking the debossed side of the folder in green ink, then running it through my Big Shot with a snippet of white card inside.
LOVED the result so I mounted it onto a larger white snippet then fixed that to some fake "Kraft card" (which is really recycled packaging) with foam pads. Trimmed an A6 card down to measure ¼" larger all round, which of course means the card is an odd size, so I'll have to custom-make an envelope to fit!
And it turned out really well, it's a fab make

I haven't inked my embossing folders in ages, but after seeing this beauty, I think I'll fix myself a drinky poo and do zactly what you did! LOL This card really turned out pretty!! Good job!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card Sarn, glad you dusted off one of your embossing folders. I love the simplicity of the design, the use of snippets and the spot of recycling. Thank you for joining in the Allsorts Challenge this week and for choosing to use the Embossing Folder option.

Che bel design, Sarn!!Così dolce e pulito! L'inchiostro verde ha delineato così bene l'embossing bianco e i tuoi mats sono PERFETTI per incorniciare il disegno! Ovviamente adoro che hai usato un cartoncino color kraft di riciclo! :D
ReplyDeleteLe mie card non sono mai della misura giusta! LOL :D

Love this Sarn! I'm raging now that I threw some packaging into the recycling bin and never thought to use it as backing, won't be doing that again!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card and great idea to use the recycled packing.
ReplyDeleteSarn your creation is a stunner l love the background and great use of recycling xx
ReplyDeleteWow! I truly thought these were white die cuts on a green background Sarn. What a fabulous card! A worthy Allsorts Top Five, and three of you from the Playground were picked I see. How cool is that then?!
