This couldn’t be more different from yesterday’s card using the same stamp set. OK, it could, but you’ve got to admit this version is big on drama!
This die cut from Merriest Frames is stunning on Blackberry Bliss — or probably any color! I did emboss the BB panel, as it made the placement of the white die cut so much easier. If you don’t do that, you’ll need to make sure the inside frame is straight.
My habit is to cut the frame, then emboss it; it seems to me that other stampers do it differently. Also, I think using Thick Basic White provides a deeper embossing.
As you can see below, the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder contains both the dies (poinsettias, holly leaves, leafy frames, and inside stitched frame) and the 3D folder to emboss the leafy frame. It’s amazing, really.
This bundle has been fabulous for both quick (Jingle Jump) and more complex cards. In fact, even though my Christmas cards are finished, I am sort of sad to see the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog retire on January 3. However, I’m expecting the next mini and Sale-A-Bration catalogs in my mailbox this week, and I know how fickle my stamping heart can be!
