I have a new favorite embossing folder and it inspired me to make a bunch of cards which I share in my new video here. The 3D embossing folder is called Soaring and is from Dina Wakley and Spellbinders. It is a 3D mix of inspirational words and soaring birds. I also received inspiration from a new die set from Spellbinders called Rainbow Slice Tunnel and the color guidance is from a kit by Club Scrap.
There are two things I struggle with in my cardmaking sessions - finding the right colors of cardstock to use with or without patterned paper and leaving any white space. I just need texture on my white or colored cardstock and I am ok with that. Especially when I can easily emboss the backgrounds with gorgeous embossing folders like this one. And I am getting help with the color choices with kits from Club Scrap. They release a new kit each month for cardmakers as well as scrappers and I received this kit at a cardmaker's gathering I recently attended. I show in the new video how to die cut the different layers of the Rainbow Slice Tunnel and emboss the off white cover to make this gorgeous card. The lighthouse and soaring bird are dies from IO.
I love that when you cut out the tunnel pieces, you can use the positive and negative images to create a rainbow tunnel and on these cards I did use rainbow colors too. Of course the backgrounds on both were embossed with the beautiful Soaring 3D embossing folder from Dina Wakley so I added some die cut birds in rainbow colors to both cards.
Also part of the Dina Wakely release at Spellbinders is a Press Plate with dies called Feather Dream, and I made these two cards with hot foiled feathers, script and of course the beautiful Soaring embossing folder. Below are two more cards I made in masculine colors with the feathers BetterPressed not foiled, and one I brayered color onto the embossed background and highlighted some of my favorite inspirational words:
As you can see I was super inspired by these products to make many cool cards and I hope my cards inspire you to give some of the ideas and products a try!
