Faux Linen Ribbon | Stamp, Scrap & Create with Me

Today’s card uses a fun embossing folder technique using the Hearts of Love 3D Embossing Folder (167071) and Endless Love Bundle (167062) both of which can be found in the Made with Love Suite (167079).

Check it out – notice the background of this card? It’s actually dry embossed and the embossed areas have had color added to them to make it “pop”. Then a bit of color was added with a Blending Brush to add a bit more impact and ground the hearts.

Done in Real Red, Bubble Bath and Pool Party, it pulls the color inspiration straight from the Designer Series Paper found in the Suite. And you’ll love the fun little 1/8″ Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon (167075) that is so easy to tie and great for all kinds of projects.

How is this technique done? It’s so simple to do. You’ll simply apply ink to the raised “positive” embossed side with a brayer, add the card stock, and run thru your Stampin’ Cut and Emboss like normal. And Voila! Think of a letterpress. Want color on the negative area? Simply add color to the other half of your folder and you’ll get a totally different look.

I love this simple technique for creating backgrounds that pop. How about you? Why not give it a try with your favorite folder?

Enjoy!
