Inked Embossing Folder

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is created by inking and embossing folder and running the card through the machine.

It has a very mottled look because of the way the ink was added  and I have a video to show you how I did it.

If you click the link it will open another window for you to view it on YouTube but be sure to come back here once you are finished.

The parchment that I have added over the inking just diffuses the colour a little and creates a lovely backdrop for the flowers.

The whole technique is very pleasing to do and in the video you will see even more examples of cards that I have done this way.

I hope that this may be something that you will try for yourself and if you already have then let me know how it went for you.

More tomorrow ...

6x6 Paper Pack

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is using a paper pack that I have had in my craft room for absolute years. 

I have used some of it but I still have quite a bit left over and so that is why I made the card.

I don't remember exactly where it is from but I think it is a Daisy Mae paper pack.

 I have teamed it with white, parchment and silver card in the shapes of leaves and flowers, with the silver heart added to the front.

I have used one of my Card Making Magic Decorative Corners dies to create the panel for the front.

The flowers dies are from the Tall Flowers die set that was brought out a long time ago now, and they are cut in silver.

The finished card is an A6 and will fit into a standard envelope.

You could add any sentiment you needed to the front of this creation and it would suit any time of year.

More Fractured Cards.

 Hi Everybody,

Today I have more ideas on the Fractured Card design thar I featured last week.

This video dress up the cards a little bitt more and the one shown is my favourite.

I used some paper using Distress Oxides and gold splattering for this one and I think it kooks really pretty against the black strips.

Here is the video link and if you click it you will open a new window for you to view it.

More Fractured Card Ideas

I am trying really hard to increase my following on YouTube and any help you can give me by watching the videos on there will be a big help.

You may need to watch the adverts but they are not long and it all shows up in the YouTube algorithms that are applied. It helps YT to know that you enjoy the videos and they then support me by recommending my videos to other like minded people.

Todays card used to be known by another name, years ago, but I cannot remember what it was.
