Gina will be showing us how to make 2 fast and beautiful techniques by using an embossing folder. So take a look at this video and then share with us your amazing cards.
Here are the Letterpress DT inspiration cards featuring A Day For Daisies digi stamps...
Carolyn
TIP: When putting your supplies away after using them, remember where you put them. My Stamp-m-jig for stamping a straight sentiment would be a handy piece of equipment to use in stamping the image so it would be straight.
Lynne aka Her Craftiness
Tip: I purchased a nail brush at the dollar store which is phenomenal to wash my stamps and embossing folders as it get the ink out of the tiny crevices with no mess!
Jennyfer - Jennyfer Creates
Tip: You can wash your embossing folder with soap and water if the ink is reluctant to come out!
It won't damage anything.
It won't damage anything.
Marilyn - Marilyn's Crafts
Tip: When embossing with text, only one side can be inked with this technique. The other side will display the text as reversed. Cindy- In Love with Paper TiP: Ink the edges of your patterned paper layer, too! Sandy- A Working Mom's Joy TIP: Less is More! Let your digi and technique do the talkin' for your card, sometimes extra embellishments are just not needed!
Teresa-Fresh and Renewed
TIP: Put all your Christmas card making supplies in a basket to keep close at hand during the season of making cards. Cristina - VintagePink39
Tip: Using a baby wipe or makeup remover wipe works really well for cleaning your folders.

Fabulous DT inspiration! Loved watching the video. That's one technique that I have done in the past and just love! Will try to play this time.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with with Vicky. I love this technique I have never tried it before but wow! Now all my cards will be letterpressed :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, gals!!! I love your tips too. Carolyn, your tip made me chuckle as I can relate. Sometimes I spend more time searching for things than I do crafting. lol I'm looking forward to trying this technique.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Super excited to have won. Looking forward to trying a new thing.
