Embossing Folder Focused Cards with Candice and Rachel

Hello and happy Friday to you!  It's Candice here with you sharing a subtle use of the new Buffalo Plaid embossing folder to create a soft background!

My card uses all new products from the Sunny Studio Stamps new release:

• Buffalo Plaid embossing folder
• Merry Mice stamp set & coordinating dies
• Season's Greetings stamp set & coordinating dies (pine needles)
• Snowflake Circle Frame die
• Christmas Garland Frame die (merry)
• Rainbow Pearls

I wanted a subtle embossed background to create a very soft card.  I achieved this effect by using embossing pads (both of them) on top of the buffalo plaid embossing folder and using Tab 1 on my Big Shot.  

I first die cut multiples of the circle and merry and layered them for a thick dimensional effect. Next, I stamped the mice, colored with Copic markers, cut out with the coordinating dies, gluing under the glitter circle and trimmed off the bottoms.

I then heat embossed the pine needles in green and cut out using the coordinating dies placing them under the circle frame with glue dots.

To finish the card, I created a banner by heat embossing the sentiment in white, inking with shabby shutters and placing the merry above. I added a few pink pearls for a pop of color.

Thank you for visiting with me and just a heads up, Sunny Studio Stamps is participating in the 25 Days of Christmas Tags and you can visit Tracey McNeely's blog to see the amazing tags created by the talented Sunny Studio Design Team on Sunday, November 10th!

Hello friends! It's Rachel here and I have a Christmas card to share with you today that features the new Woodgrain Embossing Folder. This embossing folder is amazing! I love the texture that it provides. 

To get the two-toned look that I have on my card today, I stamped some brown ink onto the inside (smooth side) of my embossing folder. I then ran it through my machine once using a 4" x 5.25" of Kraft Card Stock. I then stamped my images from the Happy Owlidays Set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I used the coordinating Happy Owlidays Die Set to cut them out.

I die cut a piece of white card stock using one of the Woodland Border Dies to create a snow border. Prior to attaching it to my card, I stamped my sentiment in the lower right corner and then added some sparkly white glitter to the top of this snow drift with some liquid adhesive. Although it doesn't photograph well, it gives the snow some gorgeous texture. Lastly, I adhered my images to the front of my card using some 3D Foam Adhesive Squares.

I hope you enjoyed my card today! Thanks so much for stopping by!
