Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I bought this embossing folder with die from Simon Says Stamp on sale
last year. I'm embarrassed that it's taken so long to use it.
After I used it for a class card, I misplaced it! I had to use another branch for
class and do a thorough search through my dies. Fortunately I found it and gave
it a good workout.
I love the dimension the embossing folder gives the die cut!
On this first card I've used Neenah Solar White cardstock and sponged color
on the leaves and berries. I added Nuvo crystal drops to the berries to make them shiny.
The leaves were cut from green cardstock on the second card and I sponged ink on them.
The berries were punched from red foil and taped into the embossing folder to
give them some dimension.
For the third card, I die cut the leaves from a darker green and again sponged
green ink on top for added dimension. I punched the berries from red glitter paper
and embossed them to give them the rounded shape.
This time I sponged some Brushed Corduroy Distress Oxide ink around
the edges for a vintage look.

Three gorgeous cards and I love those shiny berries, Bonnie! The addition of that sweet twine on the first makes it my favorite!
I think I bought this one, too - now where did I misplace mine?

Three really pretty makes using this embossing folder and die combination Bonnie, and I love the red baker's twine and red sentiment, and then the different mediums you used for the berries, and the vintage look with the inked edges on the last looks great too. x
I bought that folder and die too, Bonnie, but the cards I made didn't look this good. How did you get the white veins in the first leaves? I really like that look. I love the shiny berries on the second one and would never have thought to ink the background but I do like the vintage look on the third one. Thanks for the inspiration. I'll get mine out and make more with it.
Simple and elegant! Perfect.
All 3 are absolutely BEAUTIFUL Bonnie and you definitely made up for lost time with this die and embossing folder, so it's all good! (Only because I do the same thing! Haha!!) Seriously though, each card is so pretty and I love the shiny berries and white embossed backgrounds that make everything POP! Lovely, lovely cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
These are just beautiful! I need to experiment with coloring my diecuts like this! You're a good inspiration, LOL!
