Stamping with Embossing Folders

Hello everyone.

Todays project is a easy technique and one I have avoided for ages of fear of ruining my embossing folders.

I used the Pine Wood Planks embossing folder from Stampin Up as a stamp.

To create the back ground I applied ink straight from the ink pad all over one side of the embossing folder.  I placed a square of card very carefully inside and ran this through my die cutting machine.

I love the white wash kind of effect it made.  You can experiment with other colours or even perhaps apply the ink with a brayer.

The ink just washes of really easily with a bit of soap and water.

So to create my card using this technique I first stamped the flowers using the Wood Words stamp set.  I then applied some ink to the embossing folder and created my background.

Next I created the little topper using a circle from the Stitched shapes Framelits dies and again stamped the flowers onto this.  I then stamped and die cut 3 hearts from the Wood Crate Framelits die set.  I also added a little stamped greeting use the Wood Words stamp set.

I had a little play and decided to use a different colour of ink.  I also love it in blue.

But this time I used the stars instead of hearts.
