Technique Tuesday Blog Hop - December 2024 - Embossing Folders / Stamping With Melva

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop - December 2024 - Embossing Folders

Tuesday, 3 December 2024

Time for another Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. This month our theme is "Embossing Folders". I love to play with Embossing Folders - a perfect way to add texture to your project!

The Stampin' Up! Happy Hibiscus Bundle is a Hybrid Embossing Folder which means you can emboss and cut at the same time! How perfect. For my project today I added colour using a Blending Brush and Ink along with Wink of Stella before I cut and embossed! So pretty and seems perfect for a hibiscus!

Check out my card!
