Some of the Spellbinders International Ambassadors are having an
informal blog hop and this time we have chosen as our theme...
Spellbinders Em-Bossing Fold'ers!
Often forgotten with the choice of many dies
but they are so useful and can also be combined with dies.
Often forgotten with the choice of many dies

The folder I have chosen is Cabbage Rose.
First of all, one of my favourite uses for folders is decorating envelopes,
here I've placed it through the Platinum to just emboss the envelope flap.
Adds a really special finishing touch.
Next, how about using your folder with a die and die cut...
using 6 x 6 Matting Basics I've first of all cut.
To emboss I've opened the folder, placed the die and die cut -
cutting edge upwards (that's important).
The sandwich I've discovered works well, is folder open, tan mat and one cutting plate.
This gives you the beautiful embossed detail but with the crisp edge of the die.
Further matting with 6 x 6 Matting Basics and a typed and die cut sentiment.
To decorate - Marisa's Bouquet (one leaf is from Romantic Blooms One).
Some close up pics.
The card with coordinating envelope.
For more inspirational projects please hop along to my fellow
Ambassadors' blogs - have fun!

Beautiful embossing folder. Love the envelope flap and card. xx hazel
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card Christine, and with the added texture makes it look really expensive, shops would charge a lot of money for that.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Sunday
