Hi Everybody,This lovely card has been created using an embossing folder and a technique known as Letterpress.
Your result will depend on the folder that you use and the color of ink that you choose to ink the folder with.
For this card I have used Picked Raspberry to ink the folder Labels 34 Medallions.
This gives a lacy effect to my card. I inked two pieces of card and cut the centre part from one of them to add with foam pads over the full panel.
The technique is easy enough to do so don't be afraid to try it if you are new to cardmaking.
The video will take you step by step through the process and I have used vibrant colors so that you can see the process.
I know you will not be disappointed with the result
Don't forget that you can add your cards to the Gallery Page on my website.
The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and they have been sparkled with Glitter magic.
The red flourish is from Want2Scrap and clicking the links will open new windows for you to visit their websites.
More tomorrow ...

This card is beautiful--love pink! I think I may try the inking of the embossing folder with my 15 year old niece and 10 year old nephew who are coming for a week this summer. They want to do crafts. I know it won't look like your's but it will be a fun technique for them. Thanks once again!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I love how the letterpress looks and this folder is lovely.
ReplyDeleteChristina,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the video, very easy to follow. I love your new folder, and how you used the letter press technique. Your card looks like a piece of marble, just gorgeous. Great job.
not too difficult and worth a try, thanks a lot much appreciated
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card ... again! Christina, thanks for sharing this video again, I have tried it but somehow made a bit of a mess of it which knocked my confidence a bit! I will however, give it another go, practice makes perfect as they say! Love your videos, I have just completed a card for my Niece's birthday, with flowers and ivy leaves all draping out of a "box" topper that I made. And all the inside lined to match as you have shown us, and I have to say I am rather proud of it! It is all thanks to you and your tutorials! Many grateful hugs, Karen xx
ReplyDeleteGreat video, its nice to the different techniques you can use with your embossing folders. Pretty card.
ReplyDeleteLovely card. Must give this a go when I have watched the video.
ReplyDeleteHi Christina
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning card today. I did try this technique but used an ink pad. This turned out as rather a mess. So will be trying it again using a brayer. Will look at the tutorial first though.
Hi Christina ,I am going to try this tonight , i just hope my results are nearly as good as yours and i will be happy .

ReplyDeleteHi Christina..... just love this technique.... .so many beautiful variations when we take another look at the folders we have, thanks as always for your informative tutorials.. xx
ReplyDeleteThis was a fantastic video Christina, so glad that I looked you up, I am not getting a log of my blogs by email lately and I decided to go searching today after I saw your facebook entry. I don't know what is happening, they are not in the spam or junk folder. But I going to go check the rest of your entries. The last one I got was April 12, so you can see I really missed a lot of very nice cards that you make. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity and sharing the techniques that you use, they are so helpful.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
