AN OLD EMBOSSING TECHNIQUE REVIVED

January 19, 2022

Do you remember long, long ago when we used to emboss and leave the circle in the center? We would punch out layers of the same circle then emboss with an embossing folder and hope the center wouldn't be embossed. Well this is the same technique only I wanted the embossing to be in the center of the page and not on the edges. I used the new Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders.


A couple of weeks ago I did the same card but I used a different stamp set and I showed you how to score to achieve the lines down the center. Today I will show you how to used the embossing folder. I challenge you to try this technique and see what you can create!


Measurements:

Cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Highland Heather, score at 4 1/4
Cut (2) 4 x 5 1/4 Gorgeous Grape
Cut (2) 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 Basic White


To create the shim you will need 5 1/2 x 8 Basic White, score at 1" keep in mind that you can change that to be more or less based on how wide you want the embossing. Also keep in mind that each embossing machine is different. It should go through your machine easily but it should have pressure or you won't emboss. Be careful and try it. DO NOT FORCE IT THROUGH THE MACHINE!!! You can remove one section at a time until you reach what is perfect for your machine.

Create a sweet and elegant birthday card with the July 2026 Paper Pumpkin – Hooray for Birthdays kit! For this alternate design, I paired the soft pastel plaid patterns in a simple pinwheel layout on a Basic Black card base, creating a striking contrast that really makes the delicate florals stand out. The layered die-cut flowers are arranged on a stitched circle with a touch of gold cord tucked behind for added texture and elegance. A simple Happy Birthday sentiment finishes the design, making this card perfect for celebrating someone special. This easy alternate project is a wonderful way to stretch your Paper Pumpkin kit supplies and create a beautiful card with a fresh, modern look. The Hooray for Birthdays kit features gorgeous floral elements and coordinating embellishments, making it easy to create unique birthday cards you'll love to give.
