HereÂ’s a quick card for the LSC that request flowers or bulbs on our creations.
I need to use my embossing folders more so I went all out on this card.
-I colored the rubber with markers then stamped. I always use a stamp positioner with this technique so I can add color is needed, worked well when the one flower needed a little extra yellow.
-For the circles I used a 1 1/16” circle (Marvy) which you see as the black. A 1” Cuttlebug die cut was used for the punched flower circle. Because it’s so hard to line up that flower within the circle of the solid die cut (Nestabilites would work fine), I punched it with the Marvy punch first then it’s easy to line up on the die and it just trims the edge.
-For the envelope embossing: The flower was stamped before the embossing was done. ItÂ’s a handmade envelope with a small side flap. I folded that flap in so itÂ’s embossed with the front, put the folder in place and fold the remaining flaps in before running through the machine.
IÂ’ll add double sided tape with a paper backing to the flap so it can be closed by whoever uses this card; itÂ’ll go in one of the charity boxesÂ…if I were to use it IÂ’d just glue it shut with tacky glue.
