Embossed Cardstock for the Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Collaborations Cardstock Blog Hop where our theme is ‘cardstock’.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the embossed strips card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅝” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅞” by 2¼”
Basic Black card – 5⅞” by 2”
Basic Black card 3¼” by ½”
Strips of cardstock roughly ⅜” wide in Pool Party, Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo

I applied Seal + adhesive to all 4 sides of the 5⅞” by 2¼” piece of Basic White card.

The strips of cardstock were added one at a time to the panel and trimmed off the excess. When all the strips were adhered, I ran the whole piece through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder. I really like the effect this gives.

I die cut the gorgeous border from the longer Basic Black panel using one of the Basic Border Dies and added it to the back of the embossed panel. The whole piece was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Kite Delight stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Basic Black, covered with white embossing Powder and heat set using my Heat Tool. I added it to the card front with liquid glue.
