Wednesday’s WOW! #170 – Colour your Embossed Card with Ink.
If you have an embossed image on white card sometimes it can be a little plain. You can add a little colour to lift it. Of course you could swipe the Inkpad over the Embossing Folder before or after embossing, but try a little light watercolouring with your Water Painter and Ink Pads. It can really highlight the detail.
This one is with the Traditional Wreath Embossing Folder but you could try it with most folders.
Try it out.

We had our Branching Out Class last week. We made 3 different cards with this Bundle. It is so diverse and I will show you the cards over time but this is one of them.
We embossed the Mossy Meadow Card Mat with the Peaceful Greenery Embossing Folder. Then diecut the leaf stems and the pinecones.
While I was sitting in the class I assembled one of the cards and decided to flip the embossed Card Mat. It gives a different impression but still looks ok I think.
What do you think? I don’t think there is a right or wrong with this folder. It just gives a different impression for your project.
If you are a Wollongong local I would love to see you at our classes. They have a lot of fun. I usually advertise them here on my blog or on my website or Facebook. If you still can’t find them contact me. It would be great to see you.
Hope you get some creative time in soon,
Jenny

Today’s card is one with the gorgeous Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper.
The frame is created with the Branching Out Dies from Cloud Cover cardstock. This was embossed with the Damask Designs Embossing Folder. I cut a piece of that lovely paper to adhere to the back and then raised the piece off the Base Card with Dimensionals. This gives the card extra dimension and texture.
Isn’t the sentiment so lovely?? That was diecut with one of the circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies.
It’s a simple card but what more do you need.
Try it with any of your papers and embossing folders. You can create the frame with any shape too. Maybe a rectangle or even a circle.

I’m making up some little Thank You Cards to send out to my lovely customers when they order. For the cards recently I have been using some “left-over” bits.
This one I was playing around with the Sunflower Embossing Folder. I fussy cut one of the sunflowers. I was going to add it to a previous card and then it didn’t work out. But not to waste it. I add it to this little Mini Card.
I had a small scrap piece of the Florals in Bloom Paper and trimmed it down for the front of the card. The sentiment from Simply Said set was stamped on some Lemon Lolly card.
I will share some more of these Mini Thank You cards very soon.

I couldn’t resist. I recently got the Festive Friends Bundle. They are cute characters in this one BUT for our Hot Christmas time in Australia with many heading to the beach I couldn’t help but make the snowman a Sandman.
I remember so many times at the beach when I was young creating big mounds of sand and decorating it with seaweed for hair and added sticks and shells. And at Christmas time you did add a Santa Hat. Such fun memories.
So the Festive Friends snowman became a Sandman. Not too many shells or seaweed on this one but still all dressed up for Christmas.
The Sandman was coloured with the Stampin’ Blends and the shells were from the Notes and Totes Dies set. The paper worked well with it. This was from the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper pack.
I had a lot of fun colouring this character. I have created with the other characters too so I will get back to you soon on those ones.
This is the Festive Friends Bundle. It has some fun little additional elements too with the trees and snowflakes and a tag shape. See it more -> HERE.

My first Christmas card for the season. I don’t know about you but I’m not quite feeling the festive spirit yet. It still seems so early. But then we need to get on to them soon to get our cards made ready.
New products always help to freshen up the cards. This is one with some great new products from the 2025 Holiday Catalogue.
I have created this with the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper. I wanted to use the dove pattern but to use a whole piece meant cutting in to some of the doves. So I cut a section and added that to the centre and have 2 strips of another pattern on either side.
The Card Base is Pecan Pie and I used Pool Party for the card mat and the “Noel”.
For the “Noel” I embossed and diecut it with the Christmas Words Collage Hybrid Embossing Folder. I like this folder and die set. I just used a small piece of card just larger than the word rather than use a large piece.
This is the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper.
