Garden Green is embossed using the Perfect Dots Embossing Folder and attached to the Chocolate Chip. Next the striped piece of DSP is placed on the Chocolate Chip. The Scallop Ribbon Border is placed where the two pieces meet. A hole in punched in the Chocolate Chip square using the 1 3/8" Circle Punch. In order to get a big enough hole in the middle I punch it four different times. Each time a rotated the square to take a little bit more off the center. Next time I will try the 1 3/4" Circle Punch to see if it would work better. Next I punched a circle in the Wood Grain DSP using the 1 3/8" Circle Punch. To get the center out the the scallop circle I first punched a circle out of a piece of Chocolate Chip using the 1 3/8" circle punch. Then I centered the Scallop Circle Punch around the circle opening I punched out the scallop. I placed the Wood Grain DSP on the Chocolate Chip and the Scallop Circle on the Wood Grain. After punching out the Owl pieces and putting it together, I tucked it behind the square so that it came out the circle. I used one Demensional behind the Owl towards the top of it and one in each corner of the square. The words were stamped in Chocolate Chip on the Very Vanilla and punched out using the Word Window. Behind it I used Chocolate Chip punched with the Modern Label Punch. This is a very versatile card. It made a great Father's Day card. It could also be used for a birthday, thank you, or what ever you would like.

Bliss

I used a lot of dimensionals on this card. There are two behind the Decorative Label, one behind the butterfly, and four behind the Crumb Cake card stock. After stamping, I cut out the butterfly. I cut off the antenna. I placed three small Rhinestones on the body.

Graduation Owl

For this card I let my customers select the color of card stock they embossed. For the sample I used Real Red. I used the Curly Label Punch to create the bottom of the graduation hat. Then I used the paper trimmer to cut a diamond shape for the top. The nose it the heart from the Two-Step Owl Punch. There are dimensionals behind the owl. I also used dimensionals behind the black square.

Brayering with Dry Embossing

For this technique I used a brayer to apply the Blushing Bride ink to the flat side of the embossing folder. Next I carefully placed the Whisper White card stock onto the folder. Then I closed the folder and ran it through the Big Shot. The flowers turn out white and the background is Blushing Bride. Finally I used the Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker to color the center of the flowers. To clean the folder, simply run it under water and let dry.
