M&M + Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder

Today I’m sharing a card I made using the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More (M&M) Cards & Envelopes and the Flowers for Every Season M&M Card Pack along with the Tasteful Textile 3d Embossing Folder. It’s a quick and easy card, but the embossing, along with the ribbon bow, really packs a punch.

Wreath Builder Dies Non-Holiday Card

Wreaths aren’t just for the holidays. Today’s wreath card gives encouragement to a dear friend. I used the Wreath Builder Dies, Layering Circle Dies, Ornate Frames Dies, Forever Fern stamp set, and 1-1/2″ Circle Punch. And of course, several colors of card stock. The front of the card base is in two separate pieces that are held together by the wreath and the sentiment.

  • lemon in Daffodil Delight ink onto the smaller layer
  • umbrella in Rococo Rose ink onto the smaller layer
  • sentiment in Rococo Rose ink onto the smaller layer

Assembled the card:

  • burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
  • smaller layer glued onto the larger layer
  • larger layer glued onto the front of the card base

Better Than Bundle) to make today’s simple card. It was one of our August Stamp Club Projects.
