Embossed Manhattan

Jazz up your embossing folder with a bit of color. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Simple Sketches

Paper:

   Soft Sky A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

   Sweet Sugarplum

Technique:

   Dry Embossing

Accessories:

   Manhattan Flower Embossing Folder

   Adhesive

First, I added color (Sweet Sugarplum) to the flat side of the Manhattan Flower Embossing Folder, by running the ink pad over the inside of the embossing folder. Note the crevices will remain without color.

I then carefully placed the Basic White panel inside the folder and closed it, making sure the paper did not move.

Next, I ran it through the die cut and emboss machine.

I then removed the panel and rinsed and dried the embossing folder. Do not let the ink dry inside the folder or it may stain it.

Next, I fussy cut around the embossed image.

I then adhered it to the Soft Sky card front, as shown above.

Lastly, I stamped a sentiment on the top right corner of the card front and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

HAPPY STAMPING!

Rejoicing

Dry embossing is appreciated more when you are able to touch it. It is definitely beautiful when you see it, but it serves its purpose when you get your hands on it. What do you think? 

Stamps:
   Abundant Hope

Paper:
   Real Red A-2
   Whisper White 1-3/4" Circle, 5-1/4 x 4 

Ink:
   Ruby Red

Technique:
   Dry Embossing
   Sponging
   Punching

Accessories:
   1-3/4" Circle Punch
   Manhattan Flower Embossing Folder
   Corner Rounder Punch
   Sponge
   Dimensionals
   Adhesive

First, I dry embossed the card front using the Manhattan Flower embossing folder. Of course, you can substitute any background embossing folder you have on hand.

Next, I stamped and punched out my sentiment. I used the 1-3/4" Circle punch because that was the size that fit my sentiment. I usually choose my sentiment and then decide on a punch or die cut that will fit.

I sponged my sentiment and then attached it using dimensionals.

Using my corner rounder, I rounded the top and bottom corners of the card front. I then rounded the same corners on the Whisper White panel for the inside of the card, and then adhered it.

Manhattan Birthday

 Get a different look by flipping your embossed image and applying ink. I used my brayer to evenly coat my image with Melon Mambo. The embossing then appears as a white outline. What are your thoughts?

Stamps:
   Wetlands

Paper:
   Melon Mambo A-2
   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:
   Archival Basic Black
   Melon Mambo
   Soft Sky

Technique:
   Dry Embossing
   Watercolor Wash
   Brayer
   Fussy Cutting

Accessories:
   Manhattan Flower Embossing Folder
   Water Painter
   Brayer
   Adhesive

First, I embossed a Whisper White panel with the Manhattan Flower embossing folder. 

I then flipped it over, so the embossing is facing down (the negative side). Using my brayer, I applied Melon Mambo ink. You do not have to worry about getting ink over the whole panel. I then cut the image out with my paper snips.

Using my water painter, I applied a Soft Sky watercolor wash on the other panel.

I attached the Manhattan flower with dimensionals. Stamped my sentiment on the top left and adhered the panel to the Melon Mambo card base.
