Considering how new I am at this, I was pretty happy with this card. Here is what I tried:
I do not have an embossing machine, but ended up with a folder. So as an experiment I put the paper in the folder, put a towel on the tile floor, then the folder with paper inside and finally another towel. (It's ok to laugh while picturing this. I did and so did the girl I gave the card to.) Then I stood on top. I did not feel this was adequate so I jumped several times. The result was a subtle emboss. It is not clear, but ended up working very nicely for this card.
Then I used a mask over the "So Very" to add the red boarder. This was not as successful as I hoped, but I will try it again in the future.
The last thing I tried was the kissing technique on the "Happy". I honestly couldn't even tell I did anything, but I will try it again in the future.
The rest is simple. The read stuff over the center of the card is left over from some Christmas decor I picked up at a garage sale. The red ribbon on the edge of the card is secured to the inside portion to show though the edge punch.
