Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Embossed TP? Yep!
If you can spare a square, give it a try!
My dear and very talented friend Loll led us in this technique a couple of
months ago. We took four squares of toilet paper and stacked them, spritzing
each layer. Then put them in an embossing folder and run them through.
I've spritzed it with some shimmer mist so it has a wonderful shimmer
when the light hits it.
The cardinal has been cut from red cardstock and I've sponged ink around
the edges. I used a Posca pen to add "snow" to the pine branch.
I'll take this over to the last Rudolph Days Challenge of the year.
A big thanks to Maureen and her team for this challenge each month.
It's a big help to get those Christmas cards done in plenty of time.
And I love doing Christmas cards any time of year!
I'll also share it with Krafty Chicks where it's all about All Occasions.
A perfect place for a Christmas card!
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteThis is SOOOO pretty Bonnie! So CAS and elegant and who knew TP could be elegant! Haha!! But seriously, this card is just lovely my friend! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty. I love the great impression you get with the toilet paper and this looks wonderful. Adding the shimmer mist was a terrific idea. The cardinal looks so real perched on the sprigs.
ReplyDeleteThis is just lovely! I may be able to spare a square to give this a try! I LOVE the cardinal too and the font on the sentiment is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun technique with an amazing result Bonnie x. A really beautiful card x.
ReplyDeleteI had to reread your post to make sure you did mean that your used toilet paper! What a beautiful card, Bonnie. xx
ReplyDeleteThe embossing on to toilet paper is so deep..a wonderful effect Bonnie, and love that beautiful cardinal on the pine branch matching in perfectly with the background card, and with a simple sentiment to finish. A really stunning card! x
ReplyDeleteoooooh great idea spritzing with glimmer mist, gorgeous card:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Bonnie. Great use of the TP too but don’t think mine will work as it is embossed already😂😂
ReplyDeleteOh I love this. It’s so neat and clean and who’d have thought to use toilet paper! That’s brilliant. It almost adds a bit more texture to the embossing. Your cards inspire us! Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteHere's something I never thought I'd say: love the way you've used TP today, Bonnie!! LOL It's fabulous!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the embossed paper towel I made when Loll was teaching the mopping up technique!

So pretty and I love the cute cardinal too. I love the embossed TP technique and after I saw your previous card with it I had to try it and shared the idea with my stamping friends. They thought is was so unique. Thanks for sharing your lovely card with us.
ReplyDeleteSuch a rich wholesome card, what a great idea to spritz the toilet paper with shimmer mist. The simple Noel gives an elegant finish :D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The embossed panel looks like white wedding cake frosting. Rich and wonderful!

What a lovely card! Thanks for the tp tip...I must have missed it when Loll did it.
ReplyDeleteI Love your textured TP square background, Bonnie. I tried the technique after seeing Lolly examples. I must make into a finished card and would like to make a few more squares to have in my stash. Love all the texture from the dry embossing. TFS your Gorgeous Christmas card with the added die cut cardinal and pine branches. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! Utter perfection! I think I can spare a square or two. Love your design on this, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteSuch an elegant design Bonnie, it's Beautiful.

ReplyDeleteWow, who would think you could make such a gorgeous snowflake background with toilet paper and shimmer mist? This is fabulous and beautiful, Bonnie! The cardinal is so handsome too! Another technique I'd love to try! :-)

Beautiful card! Love the little touches but the technique looks quite fun! I have not tried this but have been meaning to -- so hopefully yours is the inspiration and a hint to use the shimmer spray is wonderful
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool technique with awesome results, but then to spritz with a shimmer spray is pure genius!!! Love your beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteVery classy card with a great technique.

Hi Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteHappy rudolf Days.
I have never heard of that technique it sounds fab must give it a try thank you for sharing.
I love your card it's so gorgeous and very stunning.
The mebossed squre looks so super and that very wonderful Cardinal sitting on the pine branch is so gorgeous.
I love Cardianals wish we had then in the UK.
Thank you for joining the Rudolf Challenge and your kind words.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Brilliant idea to spray the toilet paper with shimmer spray, Bonnie - I must try that. Love the snowflakes - perfect backdrop for the perfect cardinal.
ReplyDeleteOh, Bonnie !! This toilet paper embossing looks amazing. Embossing produces a soft finish that is difficult to achieve with ordinary paper. Thank you for describing this technique, I absolutely must try it sometime. And the cardinal looks wonderful against this background, a striking contrast!
