Embossing Folder Focused Cards with Leanne and Eloise

Hello everyone, Leanne here! Have you started decorating for the holidays yet? I just love the Farmhouse style of decorating especially for Christmas. It was this decorating trend that inspired my card today. Most of the Farmhouse Christmas decor ideas I've seen include buffalo plaid, so for my card I created a green and black plaid background using the Buffalo Plaid Embossing Folder

To achieve the green and black plaid, I started with green card stock and then I used Onyx Black VersaFine to ink up the embossing folder before running it through my die cut machine. I added the embossed plaid panel to an A2 sized card base. I die cut one of the Fancy Frames Rectangles to place in the center of the plaid background.

The Farmhouse decorating style is known for it's simplicity so I followed suit and kept this card design fairly clean and simple. I die cut the "Merry Christmas", using the Christmas Garland Frame Dies, from black glitter card stock and adhered to the frame at an angle. I then used the Layered Poinsettia dies to create a single flower to add just below the greeting. For a little bit of embellishment, I added a few clear sequins to finish off the card.

Hi friends, Eloise here and today I’ll be using the Woodgrain Embossing Folder along with Merry Mice to create a Christmas card.

I started off with stamping out my images and colouring them in with Copic Markers. I cut them out and then added white details using a gel pen.

(Copic Markers Used: B0000, B000 / YG03, YG23, YG25, YG17 / R000, R00 / R32, R35, R37, R39 / YR20, YR21, YR23, YR24 / W00, W0, W1, W3 / E50, E51, E53, E55 / E30, E31, E34, E35 / RV91, RV93, RV95, RV99 / RV63, RV66, RV69, R89 / 0)

I then took a piece of watercolour cardstock and ran that through my die cutting machine with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. I then water-coloured a pink/purple circle into the centre.

Lastly, I adhered my images into place and white heat embossed the ‘Have A Mice Christmas’ sentiment onto a thin strip of black cardstock and adhered that on too.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I’ll see you all next week.

Hedgey Holidays Hedgehog Card with Mendi

Hello there!  I couldn't let this week of festivities pass without sharing a card of my own using our new Black Friday exclusive "Hedgey Holidays" which is only available this holiday season as a free gift with purchase through tomorrow at Midnight PST.  After that it will be back in the vault and saved for another year.  

For my card I colored my images with Copic Markers and added details with a Sharpie White Extra Fine Point Paint Pen.  I created hills for my little roly poly hedgehogs to roll down using our Woodland Border dies which I inked up between the layers using some Tumbled Glass distress ink to help them not blend together. To frame my little scene I used the candy cane striped patterned paper from our Holiday Cheer Paper pack and a pink grid print from our Gingham Pastels paper pack.

For my sentiment, I combined the "Christmas Hedgehugs" with the word "Sending" from our Alpaca Holiday Stamps.  I also added some movement marks to give the sense of my little guys rolling using some images from our Super Duper Stamps.

As finishing touches I colored the two tiny hearts from the set, pairing them with the largest heart from our Hogs & Kisses Stamps.  I then added glossy accents to the hearts, candy canes and noses of my hedgehogs.  As my final touch I added some White Neon Amplify to my hats and pom-poms which I then heated with my heat gun to make them puff up.  Love the extra texture these two products add to my fairly simple design.
