Embossing Folder Fun by Jo Simons (16:33)

Another 3D Embossing Folder Technique by Jo Simons (15:39)

My first card I blended some ink through a butterfly stencil (Magenta) embossed it with a 3D embossing folder (Simon Says Stamp) and highlighted the raised edges with white ink. I did notice the embossing picked up some black ink from a previous embossing technique I had done. I actually like the effect 😏

My second card I used red card stock placed with the edge out of the poinsettia embossing folder (Nellies Choice), I did this on both sides of the piece of card leaving a flat area in the middle. I swiped the raised areas with a Distress Oxide ink pad and placed the sentiment (BetterPress) in the middle.

My third card is the same embossing folder but using the debossed side and used white ink. This began as an oopsie but I kept it as I liked the look. The Sentiment is BetterPress.
