March 2022 Whimsical Fairy Tale Embossing Folders
Stash Busting Patterned Paper Embossed Frame

I am sure many of you have a stash of patterned paper. I took one of the panels in my stash and embossed it with the Scalloped Frame 3D Embossing Folder. I blacked out the majority of the paper with black ink to bring depth to the embossing folder.
How To Make This Embossed Card
- Apply Obsidian Pigment Ink to the ‘text’ side of the Scalloped Frame 3D Embossing Folder. Align the patterned paper and letter press the ink onto the patterned paper.
- Die cut the Circled Greetings: Love Die from cream colored cardstock. Use a nesting circle die to cut the window rom the cardstock leaving a stand-alone image.
- Glue the die cut sentiment to the center of the embossed frame. Add white splatters with Pure White Ink Spray.

Jewels and Diamonds Gold Embossed Background

The Checkered Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder reminded me of lens flares. I tried to capture that bright and shiny feeling in this card. Like the previous card, this card was easy to recreate with a few inking techniques.
How To Make This Embossed Card
- On a watercolor panel, ink smoosh Altenew Mixed Media Ink. I used inks from Red Cosmos and Glacier Caves.
- Apply Enchanted Gold Pigment Ink to the embossing folder and letter press the ink onto the watercolored panel.
- Die cut the sentiment from gold glitter cardstock. I used one of the sheets from Gilded Glitter Cardstock Set.

Mother’s Day Peony Embossed Card

Die cut inlay technique? How about embossed inlay? After embossing the main peony image, I also embossed the letter dies and overlaid them where the embossing appears in the background.
How To Make This Card
- Emboss a white panel of cardstock and use the letterpress ink technique to color the panel with Red Cosmos Mixed Media Inks.
- Die cut the MOM sentiment from Caps Bold Alphabet Die Set.
- Use the same Red Cosmos Pigment Inks to letterpress the previously die cut letters.
- Foam mount the letters using Instant Dimension Foam Tape, overlaying them on top of the coordinating background layer.
