I was excited to create this ink blended sunset background with the Long Landscapes stamp in the foreground!

I stamped the desert scene on copic friendly cardstock as well as on masking paper to enable ink blending of background.

After colouring the foreground with Copic markers, I applied the mask and blended the background with Kraftin' Kimmie inks.

Altenew Seasonal Textures Stand-alone Embossing Folder Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

I hope you're enjoying the blog hop, you should have arrived from the lovely Joylita Dsouza's blog, if you get lost anywhere along the hop, head back to the Altenew blog for the complete hop details :)

Visit the Altenew shop HERE to see a look at all the products in this fabulous release!

I LOVE creating holiday cards and as soon as I saw this Classic Pinecones Slim 3D Embossing Folder I knew I wanted to create an all white card.

Here's a close up of the layers which have been heat embossed with Translucent Pearl Embossing Powder to add a bit of shine and sparkle.

Another look at the full slimline card:

Supplies:

- Classic Pinecones Slim Botanical 3D Embossing Folder

- Nesting Slim Rectangles Dies

- Modern Deer Stamp Set

- Sand Dune and Espresso Crisp Dye Ink

- Clear Embossing Ink

- Translucent Pearl Embossing Powder

- Gold Mirror Cardstock

Isn't this folder fantastic? It's the Organic Stones 3D Embossing Folder and this is probably one of the quickest and easiest cards I've ever made. Simply apply Seashore Washi Tape on the diagonal to a 4" x 5 1/4" white card stock panel and then emboss with folder. Finish the card off with a die cut sentiment cut from Gold Mirror Cardstock and layered over the shadow die cut in black cardstock.

Supplies:
- Organic Stones 3D Embossing Folder
- Seashore Washi Tape
- Craft Your Life Project Kit: Seasonal Blooms-thanks die
- Gold Mirror Cardstock

I was super excited when I saw this folder, the Festive Foliage 3D Embossing Folder as I love, love, love the Festive Foliage stamp set. The folder is larger than the image but you can see that you can still emboss the image with the folder to add some lovely texture.

Supplies:

- Festive Foliage 3D Embossing Folder

- Festive Foliage Stamp Set

- Rouge and Crimson Crisp Dye Ink

- Jet Black Crisp Dye Ink

- Antique Gold Sequins

Here's another quick and easy way to use an embossing folder...lightly mist patterned paper with water, to help prevent cracking, then run through embossing machine with folder.

Treat the paper with an anti-static powder tool, then rub the embossed areas with clear embossing ink and heat emboss with embossing powder.

This green and gold are perfect together!

Supplies:

- Festive Foliage 3D Embossing Folder

- Festive Foliage Stamp set (sentiment)

- Acrylic Pour 6x6 Paper Pad

- Clear Embossing Ink

- Rose Gold Embossing Powder

- Gold Mirror Cardstock
