Woods Rose Embossing Folder Vintage Roses Sentiment

Skip this technique if you like to keep your embossing folders pristine. If that doesn’t bother you, smear jet black ink on the inside of the embossing folder Put a piece of gold mirror cardstock in the folder and run it through your die cut machine. Pour clear embossing powder over the wet black ink then heat emboss. Metallic beauty! Great for a golden anniversary.

Curving Leaves Embossing Folder with Tropical Toucan and Bold Greetings Die Set


For this card the first step is to blend the background using Altenew Crisp Dye Ink and blending brushes. The darkest blending is on the edges. The light center gives the impression of highlighting the toucan. That mini stamp gives a huge impact!

Fringe and Celebrate with Cake

When I saw this embossing folder I immediately thought of candles. Yes. My imagination goes in strange directions.

On New Year’s Day I will be the very young mother of a 50 year old son.

There are 50 candles on this card counting the two above the number 50. (Yes. He will count them.). The gold glitter flames are the smallest hearts from the Radial Hearts Cover Die. The cake and number 50 are from Celebrate with Cake Die Set. (Rocks comes from All About You Word Die Set with the S amputated from the word miss.)

Fancy Sweater Stencil, Festive Silhouettes Die, Hello Winter sentiment

For this card I used an Altenew Blending Brush to stencil the pattern on cardstock. Then I simply drew the shape of a sweater and cut it out. It shows beautifully on the inked and splattered background

  1. Wow! Unique techniques and ideas for your beautiful cards! Thanks for the inspiration!

  2. Wow! While I really don’t like to mess up my embossing folders, it was certainly worth it this time!

    1. A little soap and water usually takes care of the mess. I think a little added color just makes the folders look loved.

  3. Great project shares. I must admit that I’m hesitant to ink up my folders, but I really like the look created with the roses.

    1. A little soap and water will usually take care of the embossing folder. If there’s stain it just makes it look more loved.
