Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Parchment & Embossing Folders

 Hi Everybody

First let me apologise about the state of my hands in this video. I have been playing with alcohol inks and I have them everywhere.

No matter how much I scrub they will not come off not even with Isopropyl Alcohol either. But I had a lovely time creating and the cards will be shown over the next few days.

However this card today is using a really strong Parchment and I embossed it in a folder. 

Thinner parchments could tear as it is embossed but this one is very strong. It is a 160 gsm and the nearest I could find on Craft Stash is this 150 one for Groovi crafts.

But it is not the one I used and I don't really know what it performs like. 


The video is not too long but will give you some idea of how I did this technique if it is something new to you. I am sure that you will enjoy the results of your work once the card is completed.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

  5. Very interesting video Christina Four beautiful cards. Ten years ago I used to make cards with parchment and a ball tool pressing the back of the parchment to get the white effect. They used to take a very, very long time. How much better and easier using embossing folders - the same effect. I have some parchment somewhere so will give it a go. Many thanks Diana Lawton xxx

  8. Pam Mckenzie - Hi Christina, I have been making this type of card this week but I think I coloured the wrong side, I turned it over and the result is still lovely. Pam Mckenzie Spain
