Video ~ New Ways to Use Your Embossing Folders ~ A Fun Way To Change The Look Of A Project!

I thought today I would share a video that Close To My Heart put on youtube called "New Ways to Use Your Embossing Folder". I thought I would share this video because they show us a few fun techniques that can really change a project with not much work. So, take a few minutes and check out the video!

Check Out What CTMH's Embossing Folder Designs Look Like!

I thought today I'd share a project we put together at a CTMH team meeting I went to over the past weekend. They are tags to show off the new Embossing Folders. We now have 5 different ones: Dot (Z1924), Chevron (Z1925), Quatrefoil (Z1926), Damask (Z1927) and Stripe (Z1960). There are also a few tags to show what you can do with a bit of ink or sand paper (Z1294). One of the reasons I love CTMH's paper...it has white core so you can sand the paper and change the look of it. Pretty cool designs and I love that they are 5x7 if you want to do the front of a card (fits perfect on a standard size card). Fun, fun, fun!

Ps. The 2nd picture shows you how one folder can have a few different looks. Gives us a few options when we get crafty (without spending a ton of money)!

Looking For Some Cute Card Ideas? Check These Out!

I thought today I would share a few cards that the Close To My Heart Art Department made. The two blue cards are pattern paper made using stamp sets ("Flight of the Arrows" D1578 and "In the Background" D1540). I thought I'd share this idea because you can change the color of the paper and the ink color and have the same cards in different colors. I love this idea...so many ideas there! The white card (can't really see the card in this photo but you can see it on page 94 in the catalog) was embossed using the new embossing folder "Dot" (Z1924). What I love about the new folders is that they are 5x7 so you can emboss a piece of paper to fit the front of a standard card...super easy. Also, they have a slit at the top so you can slide paper through to make long embossed paper if you want it to be 12 inches long (if you scrapbook). The yellow envelope was cut using the Cricut Artiste collection (Z1790). It's a cute idea if you plan to hand deliver the envelope maybe with a gift card inside. Lots of fun ideas for you to check out!
