Soft Focus Florals Embossing Folder Cards (Simon Says Stamp Be Bold Blog Hop Day 2)

March 23, 2024March 27, 2024 by nicholspohr

Embossing Folders are like magic wands for whipping up quick and dazzling cards! The Simon Says Stamp Be Bold Release is a treasure trove of embossing folder + die duos that are spot-on for today’s crafting tricks. I whipped up three cards by embossing sturdy white cardstock, cutting out and embossing delicate blooms, then jazzing up both the backgrounds and flowers with Pawsitively Saturated Inks and blending brushes for that dreamy, soft look! Dive into all the crafty deets in the video tutorial below!

    The soft focus on your cards opens up a whole new approach for me. And while you have the embossing folder out, why not just make up a bunch of images using various techniques. The resulting panels would be so helpful for those “need it in a pinch” moments! Thank you so much for the inspiration!
