Recently I have rediscovered my love for embossing folders and Pink & Main has a bunch of new designs! I used a piece of heavy white cardstock and ran it through my die cutting machine with the Happy Mail Embossing Folder. I prefer to use heavy cardstock ( or even watercolor paper ) with embossing folders because it gives SO much dimension! I wanted my background to really pop, so I took a bright pink ink pad and lightly rubbed it across my raised design. Some of the ink got in between the envelopes, but that’s okay! I love the look!
I stamped my images from the Berry Sweet Stamp Set with a black pigment ink and heat set them with clear powder. I planned to color my images with Karin watercolor pens and the heat embossed images create raised edges so that it’s easier for me to color. Once they were colored I cut them out with the coordinating Berry Sweet Dies.
The sentiments in the Berry Sweet Stamp Set are perfectly spaced so you can create a berry punny sentiment. How fun, right! I stamped out “Miss you so …. much” with black ink and the “berry” with the same pink ink I used on the background. I used a die from the Large Sentiment Strip Die Set to cut out the longer sentiment and fussy cut the word “berry” so that I could pop it up on top of the sentiment strip.
I added all of my images and sentiments onto my embossed background with foam tape and I’m ready to pop this card in the mail! Thanks for joining me!
Adorable card!
Have a great day!
