I tried it and I like it. I'm sure this is not new, but I wanted to give it a try. I was inspired with a card I saw at the store and it gave me an idea. Emboss cardstock, then trim away some of the design for a unique pattern. I'll show you what I mean.
Thanks for visiting
I embossed the top of a white card 5 1/2" X 4" and trimmed away part of the pattern. I cut a piece of
white cardstock also measuring 5 1/2" X 4", scored the edges and attached it to (and underneath) the top of the card. I ran a stylus along the trimmed edge scoring the attached piece of cardstock. I applied a butterfly and a sentiment to complete my card.
With all the wonderful embossing folders out there I think that the creativity is endless. Trim an embossed card/cardstock to any desired design to create a totally unique card and add some embellishments, pastels, ink etc. for added detail. Can't wait to get started, so fun!
Wherever you are in
your day, I hope you're enjoying it!
Wishing you many wonderful
creations.Thanks for visiting
