Obsessed! More fun with embossing folders!

Now that I know a bit about embossing folders, I'm officially obsessed! Today I'm sharing two easy cards featuring a technique I literally just tried but here's the deal: it's okay to NOT move on after you try something once! I'm going to play with this technique as long as I feel like. Why not? It's just paper and it's fun to see what shakes out!

You are, far and away, one of the most entertaining presenters I’ve ever watched. I throughly enjoyed this video. Your video came up as a YouTube recommendation so I just found your channel. I loved this video so much, I liked and subscribed. Keep being you! ❤️

[kellygulden]

You are the best instructor! You make it easier because of your style of sharing. I enjoy it so much and always look forward to your LIVES. TY!

Inking embossing folders was life changing. I just can't quit.

[harriettezmalloy]

I just started the video, but didn’t want to forget this suggestion at the end. When blending the colors with the brayer, blend the first two colors, roll off the brayer on a scratch paper (or right to the embossing folder), then blend the second & third color. This really helps to keep the bottom color from mixing with the rest.
Now back to the video! 😀
Beautiful cards. I love how soft the color turned out on the first one. But both are just lovely.

I know you’ve been an artist/graphic designer for a long time but started making cards not too long ago. I love your enthusiasm in general but when you discover a new technique it’s contagious! Thank you❣️

[azcardmaker]

I feel like I’m sitting with you and we’re experimenting together. I love how much fun you were having. Thanks for the video!

It's a lit easier to position your cardstock on the uninked side and then close the folder. You can move it about until it's in the right position, whereas you have to position it perfectly first time on the inked side.

Thanks for the laugh! I cracked up when you went to dip the fan brush into the empty jar! I love that you’re real and that you don’t take yourself too seriously and that you can enjoy the experimenting process which I tend to stress about. I enjoy a bit of bling but imho I loved that first card in its simplicity before the diamonds were added. Thanks for sharing your creativity and inspiration to play with our supplies. Have a great day! 🙂

Those cards are so gorgeous! Can't wait to make my own. Mrs. Ed

Sometimes I feel like I have crafting ADD. So your comment, “if you find a technique you like, stick with it” resonates!

[CraftEccentricity]

Its great to see a decades old technique being used so enthusiastically! The Oxides give it a modern twist!

Cathy: normally I don't watch videos with a lot of chattering in them, but you are so natural and you make me laugh. I love your ideas and thanks so much for just being you!

I love inking my embossing plates. They make quick cards with minimal effort. I have 1, I use so often, that I had to get a 2nd of the same plate. Using one for dark colors another for light. It's addictive.

[bettyswinford]

You are so funny.I laugh EVERY day.It is good for the soul.Love your videos.

[sharonmatthews]

I usually don't respond. However, watching you I learn so much. You're a good tool to learn from. I'm new at this, I get encouragement from YOU! Thank you From Ontario, CA

Love when you share your personality with us!

[lisastankiewicz]

You have started me back on a clean and simple card style! I am loving the clean lines and no longer getting overwhelmed when I sit down

[ellieferguson]

Hello from New Zealand. I am so glad that I found you. Who'd have thought there was more than one use for an embossing folder. Thank you so much for sharing. I shall watch your others too. I am now a subscriber.

[TealStarSusan]

Some I knew, lots I didn’t..excellent ideas! Thank you! ❤

Just a tip - going back and forth with the brayer only picks up ink on a part of the brayer. If you pick up the brayer at each inking and again start at the top to continue the inking process - the whole roller gets ink. Then the ink gets more smoothly distributed to the embossing folder using the same method of picking up the brayer so all the ink is used. Repeat with ink and brayer the folder until you have the colour you want.
