Materials used:
6 x 6 Square Cream Hammer Card
Gold Glimmer Card
CB Folder Stylised Flowers and MFP
2 Nestabilitie square dies
Fiskar Border Punch - Treading Water
See-D's Floral Daisy Stamp
The base card is embossed using the MFP method, which you can check on here.
Punch a stripe of 6 x 3 card and attach over the spine of the card. With a scoreboard emboss lines for texture and added interest. Also punch out a small piece of border for a corner piece.
Now for a bit of mock laying! THIS IS A NEW IDEA!
Cut a square with your die. Leave the cut square in the die
with the cut edge upper most, and emboss the edge with
an embossing pen.
Remove cut square from the first die and tape a smaller die to the front of the embossed square with the cut side down. Turn
the inside rim of the die and emboss as before.
When you remove the die this is the embossing you have made.
You can then just add an embellishment, or a stamped image on
another mat as I have done.
I love this little daisy stamp which I decoupaged and also used on the inside of the card.
The effect you get is well worth the effort!
I love finding new ways to use the Dies - if you have any to share, I'd be real pleased to hear from you.
My next post will be on Thursday , 8th October.
