Color Combo - Thoughtful Moments

This is such a fun spring card to send to someone just to say hello. I made it using the Fun Patterns Embossing Folder which is one of our new Online Exclusive products.

 
 

I used the color combo from my April Inspiration Calendar - Lemon Lolly, Pool Party and Soft Sea Foam. These are perfect pastel colors for spring.

Tips & Instructions

  • Pool Party Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Basic White Layer 5 1/4 x 4, adhere to the card base.

  • Basic White Layer to adhere the strips to - 5 x 3 3/4

  • Three strips of cardstock - 1 1/4 x 5 (I used Lemon Lolly, Soft Sea Foam and Pool Party).

  • Emboss the strips using the Fun Patterns Embossing Folder and adhere to the 5 x 3 3/4 white layer.
    The alternative is to adhere the strips and then emboss as one piece but you will need a larger embossing folder or run it through twice, lining it up correctly on the second pass.

  • Adhere the layer to the card.

  • Use the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder to create the sentiment. This includes a die that works with the folder.

    • Using a brayer, roll it on a Pool Party Ink Pad to ink it up.

    • Next, roll the inked up brayer over the Embossing Folder. I only added ink to the word I wanted to use (Hello), not the entire folder.

    • Lay the die on the side that you inked up. It should fit in and lock into place.

    • Place a scrap of Basic White over the word that you want to use (Hello) and close the folder.

    • Run it through your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

  • Adhere the word to the card front using Dimensionals.

  • Add some Lemon Lolly Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots.

 
 

On the inside layer (4 x 5 1/4) add a 4 x 3/4 strip of Pool Party that was embossed with the Fun Patterns Embossing Folder.

 
 

This embossing folder makes such a nice pattern, doesn’t it?
