Embossing folders are a cheap way to make cards... no that is wrong they are not a cheap way, they are an inexpensive way to create beautiful designs for your cards.
Lots of companies are now bringing out 3-D folders and they are amazing for the depth they produce and there are many ways to use them too.
In this video I have again used up some of the bits of sentiments that are already on my desk but I have combined them with beautiful frames to make them stand out.
On a couple I have simply fussy cut the shapes out of the folders and on others I have die cut them.
And rather than keep buying new things I am on a mission to use the stuff that I already have and make it work for me in creating cards.
I think that most of us own some embossing folders and have some white ink in our crafting stash and this is one way to use them and get more for your money
So I hope you enjoy this video and will try some of the ideas in it.
The cards shown today have also been created from scraps but these I have turned into Christmas Cards.
I have used the strips I made in coloured card and added them to the background and then cut lots of snowflakes from glitter card.
They are all different shapes and sizes of flakes and I have added them, some flat and some with foam tape underneath them, to give all different heights.
The sentiment has been cut from the blue mirror card, layered onto black card and then all added to some parchment
This card has hade the strips laid in the horizontal line across the card and gold snowflakes added for effect on this one.
These snowflakes are created from gilding flakes and they are some that I made for last years cards. I knew they would come in handy one day !!
Both cards are 5x7 and both are now ready to send to someone over the coming Christmas Season.
They are easy to cover in gilding flakes and I did a video when I first did them to show you how I made them.
I am adding it again here again to refresh your memory or to show you the technique if you are new, and it just goes to show you that nothing is wasted no matter how long it takes to use them
I hope you enjoy watching and it is not a long video.
