Spellbinders Pocket and Embossing

I am honored - beyond measure - to be guest designing for Spellbinders again. I am so impressed with the variety of products I've received to use this month - dies, stamp sets, a stencil, wax seal stamps, and embossing folders.

I have two cards to share with you today.

I used the Essential Envelope die set to make the first card.  It comes with the die to make the envelope as well as several additional items to use decorating the envelope. You'll find it in the Spellbinders store --> HERE. The envelope kind of reminds me of those pockets that library cards were placed in. Remember those?

I made a simple rectangle to place inside the "pocket" using the Spellbinders Precision Layering A2 die sets. I use these dies often.

I used the Oak Forest 3D Embossing folder on my second card. You'll find it in the Spellbinders store --> HERE. After embossing a piece of white cardstock I turned it over and blended three shades of ink randomly. This is on the side that is typically not used. Once I had the ink blending to my satisfaction, I used a brayer to add the brown ink onto the resist area of the embossed piece. 

I used the Spellbinders Essential Tags die set to create the sentiment feature.

These cards were such fun to make. I hope you've enjoyed seeing them.
