Scrap Busting Birthday Card ~ Embossing Folder Technique # 6

Welcome to my Corner of the World

As explained in the video – I had some scraps on my bench – normally I would throw them away but the more I looked at them the more they were calling me to do a little something. As I switched off the camera I realised this is another embossing folder technique – a very simple one ……………. but none the less a technique 🙂

I have used a birthday greeting on this one – but I think it will work equally as well for a Thank You, Thinking of You, Get Well, Congratulations………. You could also change out the colours for a masculine themed card as well ~ whatever you need a card for and whatever stamps and papers you have in your stash !

Embossing Folder Technique # 5 – Double Embossing!

Welcome to my Corner of the World

This is the 5th technique I have shared for using your embossing folders – and this time we are incorporating heat embossing as well. As I shared in the video – heat embossing is probably my favorite technique, it is certainly the one that amazes folks who are new to paper crafting. I have chosen a general greeting for the card but it would make a really good birthday, thank you or other occasion such as Mother’s Day. It would make a very pretty wedding or anniversary card, especially if you use the wedding colors. 🙂

‘Christmas in July’ # 3 ~ Whimsical Card Idea

Welcome to my Corner of the World

The 3rd and final ‘Christmas in July’ card for 2026. I wanted whimsical and I think I have achieved that ~ it is soooo stinkin’ cute!

I have enjoyed creating these even though we were going thru a heatwave here in the UK!!! Today I am just using some card and paper ~ no ink, no stamps, no punch or dies ~ not even a piece of ribbon but just a few rhinestones and some adhesive!!! The card in the video is 7 x 5 but I have included cutting instructions for a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card if you prefer that size.

‘Christmas in July’ # 1 ~ Traditional Card Idea

Welcome to my Corner of the World

As I share in my video creating Christmas-themed cards in July is not something I can recall doing before, however I thought I would do something this year, despite us being in the middle of a heatwave here in the UK. I am planning to do a short series of 3 cards, today I have chosen traditional colors and theme, I will then do a more contemporary one and will end up with a whimsical one toward the end of the month. I hope you enjoy this one as I am very fond of using the more traditional colours of red, green and white with a little hint of gold!!
