Yes, I know it has been ages but I'm just going to get on with it. This is a card I made using a favourite product from the 2018-2019 Stampin' Up!®️ Annual Catalogue, Starlight thinlits (see a couple of posts ago!) and the new Tufted embossing folder.
I began by randomly wiping VersaMark on the "mounded" inside of the folder then added and heated gold embossing powder after rolling the white card through the Big Shot. I then lightly sponged with Bermuda Bay ink over the raised diamond pattern and along the white edges. The large star was cut from gold foil and the patterned star from Bermuda Bay card stock. I heat embossed the greeting from Bring on the Presents (2018 Holiday Catalogue) using Bermuda Bay ink and clear embossing powder and cut the pretty shape with a Petals and More thinlit. This was sponged as before, a technique I love to enhance a simple element. Finally I added clear rhinestones coloured with the dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blend before attaching all to the Bermuda Bay card base using Dimensionals. I was amazed I had made a Christmas Card with no glitter but just love the effect from the random gold embossing.
Always one to "play" I went for a different look with the next sample, adding a Real Red border behind the embossed mat and using the same coloured ink and jewels as accents.
I love the surprise element when using ink on embossing folders, a simple technique which gives different effects even when using the same products. I have made several versions of this card and I hope you will give it a try.
Thank you for visiting.
