You can truly get wonderfully detailed and textured results on your projects by using Embossing Folders! There are so many techniques and styles of folders that the amount of different designs of embossed cards can seem endless. Floral, wood planks, brick, lace and textiles just to name a few make an array of elegant, subtle and beautifully detailed 3 D designs.
I not only showed different techniques using the Ornate Floral and Dainty Diamond Embossing Folders but also some tricks and tips on embellishing your cards for maximum effect too, like color your ribbon with Stampin' Blends to coordinate, Color your rhinestones and pearls too or Stamp your sentiments on ribbon instead of on your card.
Part 2 to follow soon where I will show how to use different mediums to color with your embossing folder textured cards. Color wash, ombre, foil, shimmer paint, wink of stella, splatter and even emboss your designer series paper.
In the tutorial video below I show you how you can make 6 gorgeous and EASY greeting cards with matching envelopes using up some of those scrap pieces we all seem to build up. Included in this video is the box instructions too. I used the beautiful Honey Bee foil Designer Series Paper that you can only get for FREE with a qualifying purchase until March 31, 2020 or while supplies last.

I basically got the idea for this card from page 12 in our Annual Catalog but of course mine is a bit different. I love using our catalogs as "idea" books, just switch stamp sets, colors etc to what you are looking to make and use what you have already. For today's card I used the Timeless Tulips Bundle (Stamp Set and Punch) and of course as most times I love subtle colors. This stamp set is so versatile and has such lovely sentiments as well as being Photpolymer stamps and "distinktive"™, the images are detailed with just one ink up and stamp and the font and sentiments really versatile for many different occasions like Mother's Day, Easter, Get Well, Comfort, hello and Birthday.
