Video: New Cut & Emboss Folders Cards with Nichol

Hi there! This is Nichol Spohr with four sympathy/thinking of you style cards featuring the new Cut & Emboss Folders . The embossed backgrounds create amazing elegant designs for so many different occasions. Two of the new folders are perfect for A2 sized cards (4 ¼” x 5 ½”) and two are perfect for 5” x 7” cards. A bit of inking to the embossed areas helps showcase the detail and a contrasting color of cardstock layered behind each panel clearly shows the die cut areas! Florals from a past Large Die of the Month Kit were used to adorn the designs, however you could use florals from any of your favorite Spellbinders die collections! Let’s get started with the designs.

A blue ink was used to add a bit of additional color to the embossed areas of the design. A sentiment was stamped in the open space of the design using clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The panel was layered over a piece of Pool Play Cardstock . Flowers and leaves from the February 2019 Large Die of the Month Club, Bonjour . I used FSJ Cardstock in Sweet Berry, Pineapple Smoothie , Lemongrass , Limeade Splash , Pool Play , Chambray Shirt , and Lavender Fusion . A sentiment was stamped on Pool Play Cardstock with blue ink, trimmed into a thin strip and adhered to the design with foam adhesive as shown.
