CAS Mix Up November Embossing Folder Challenge

 It is time for our

Be sure and check out the inspiring and filled with textures cards
by our talented DT and Creative Guest Designer Cornelia (Stempel Spass).


My card using Embossing Folder Stamping with Distress Inks, Stamping, and Die Cutting.

I first spent time looking at the videos provided on the CAS Mix Up EB Folder home
page.  Then I decided on the EB Folder Stamping after watch the Video by Audrey at 
Splitcoaststampers.

I used Distress Inks: Peeled Paint, Scattered Straw and Ripe Persimmon and 
used my sponge daubers to daub on the inks randomly on the 
SU Dynamic Textured Layered Leaves folder.
Ink is on the Top Debossed side of folder (side of Sizzix and Stampin Up name)

After sponging ink on folder,  I liberally spritzed with water.
Then placed Strathmore Mixed Media paper in folder.  Closed and ran through
Big Shot.  Carefully removed paper and blotted with paper towel.

Then all the Die Cutting began. I used the same mixed media paper, 
so the whites would match.

Embossed the card front with the same folder.
Die cut the window with Die-namics Rectangle Peek-a-boo Rectangle Window Die.
Placed Distress Ink EB folder behind window so the leaves would line up.
Cut image so smaller and taped to back of window.

Then I decided to add a narrow die cut frame for a white on white effect.
I cut 2 Memory Box Stitched Rectangles and taped together on the back,  
then popped up with dimensional tape.

I added a small stamped PB Happy Sentiment and Done!

I liked the textured soft look of my card. Hope you like it too.
You have until the 24th to play along at CAS Mix Up.  Hugs..

  4. So pretty! Love the soft colours of your ef stamping, Nancy. And great with the frame having the same dry embossed leaves. Great job lining up the leaves so they are continuous from the frame to the main panel. Very clever!! Beautiful card my friend. xx

  16. This is so beautiful and elegant, Nancy! I LOVE the soft colors in the center leaf window. The amazing thing is that the card has a lot of embossed texture and a few frames and yet it looks wonderfully CAS. Fantastic job lining up the leaves and arranging the popped-up double frames!

  18. Well, this is pretty! Love the embossing folder, the framing, and, ohhhh, the color inside. The frame makes it look more layered than it actually is. Nice! Nancy, I see you have this and another post that didn't come in my email, so sorry I'm late to visit. Every now and then my posts don't go out to subscribers, tsk tsk.
