Today's cards are made with dry embossing. The cards were sent to Operation Write Home. I used my folders in a little bit different way. Take a look.
Materials:
Owl Embossing Folder - Cuttlebug
Inks: rust and brown
CS: cream, orange, and rust
Ribbon: orange and rust
Instructions:
- Make A2 size cards from orange and rust CS
- Cut cream cs 4" x 5.25"
- Apply ink directly onto the embossing folder and place cream CS in the folder and run through your Cuttlebug ------Clean the folder off with mild soap and water ---the ink will come right off
I did both cards this way and it is interesting to see the variations you can get. Try a bunch of them---it is so fun!!
- Complete the card by wrapping the ribbon around the cream CS
- Add to the card base
- Stamp the sentiment
