Embossed Christmas trees

Hello everyone, I'm back with more pink deliciousness. I am so loving embossing folders right now as well as using up my UFO stash. For the cards below, I used previously smooshed panels from my UFO box, die cut them with a stitched panel die before running them through my die cutting machine with an old Cuttlebug embossing folder. I then rubbed over the embossed image with a Delicata gold ink pad. I finished them with sentiments (Simon Says Stamp) from my UFO box.

More pink embossing

I have another duo of cards made from embossed panels that I created last year. I inked up the inside of the embossing folder (Scribbley Wishes, Leonie Pujol) once and then spritzed with water for the second and third impressions. Here's the link to the card that I made with the first impression last year.

The sentiment on the first card (2nd impression) is from Festive Fun sentiments (Katie Skilton), with a fussy-cut piglet from a Dutch paper pack that I bought 2 years ago.

For my second card (3rd impression), I used a sentiment from an older Winnie & Walter set (In a Word: Grand Merry) and a NBUS poinsettia die (Stylish Poinsettia, Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions), adding some soft ink blending on the middle die cut. I had also did a little ink blending around the edges when I first created this panel.

Pink Poinsettias

Hello everyone. This fortnight, the Jingle Belles are hosting their annual Pink Christmas again, where Lauren en Stephanie will be donating $2 each to the US Breast Cancer Research Foundation for each card that is linked up this fortnight.

If you have followed me for a while, you know I love making Christmas cards featuring pink. I have been creating several cards, so it's high time I actually posted and linked them here.

I had created these pink smooshed and embossed panels last year but never got around to turning them into cards. Last week, I was inspired by this card that Nina-Marie Trapani made for the new Simon Says Stamp release, featuring a 3D poinsettia embossing folder with a matching die. I figured I could do something similar by fussy-cutting one of the poinsettias and placing it on top. I coloured them using Copics. For the second card, I also embossed the poinsettia from gold card. I used the same gold card for the mat on the top card and for the sentiments (Frames and sentiments, Katie Skilton). The stamped and die-cut words are from by UFO box (SSS stamp set with matching die).

The first poinsettia that I coloured turned out a little too pink, so I added that one to another card on top of a smaller embossed panel. I matted it with a pink panel. The stamped and fussy-cut sentiment came from my UFO box.
