Christmas fills me with joy. And, so that’s that I went with –

Simply sweet isn’t it??

I used the Dashing Along Designer Series Paper, along with an embossed panel of Cherry Cobbler in the Swirls & Curls.

You should check my other post earlier today for a nifty idea using the center of the O in J O Y.

Favorite Embossing Folder – Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

· 2 Comments

Happy, beautiful November! Got my usual Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features our Favorite Embossing Folder.

Ohhhhh, but there are soo many great ones to choose from!

I went with one from the Holiday mini (I sure hope it carries over past the holiday season) –

libbystamps, Stampin' Up!, Timeless Tidings, Detailed Poinsettia Thinlits, Champagne Foil, Swirls & Curls EF, CCMC

This is the beautiful Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder!

To get all the lovely detail, I recommend spritzing the card stock with an alcohol and water mixture to soften the paper a bit. The alcohol will help it dry quickly after its embossed as well.

I added a favorite of mine, a poinsettia from the Detailed Poinsettia Thinlits in Basic Black. I placed it on top of  the softly colored Petal Pink. So gorgeous together.

The sentiment is from the Timeless Tidings. I love the length of the stamp in relation to the flower.

These are placed on a strip of Champagne Foil Sheet.

This card is lovely and not so traditional in color!

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some beautiful embossed cards to inspire you!
