Highlighting Part of an Embossing Folder and Easy Coloring + Blog Hop
I love when I can take a single design and get quite a few cards done all at once. I’m using a new embossing folder—called Brilliant Poinsettias—from Simon Says Stamp’s Sweet Wishes release to create a set of dramatic Christmas cards.
I used some tricks to help aid the process in making multiple cards quicker, which is so handy for holiday cards! I also used some simple techniques to add detail to my cards without taking too much time. The large sentiment on my cards is the new Merry Everything set—in my video, I’ll show you how I altered the sentiment to make it fit on my project!
