And now the last card from the Go-To Greetings blog hop with the Stamp Review Crew. When creating these cards, I started with this one because I love the size and style of this sentiment — perfect for this Decorative Borders image.
I think it’s easier to see the clear embossing over Classic Ink on this card (I wrote about this technique in yesterday’s post). To keep the two images straight and centered, I stamped the sentiment first since it is a cling (rubber) stamp and I didn’t need to see exactly where I was stamping. Then I drew a light pencil line parallel to the base of the lowercase letters; stamping the floral border (in Basic Gray) was then a cinch because of the horizontal lines on either side. I used my quilting ruler and rotary cutter to trim down the panel until I liked the way it looked.
I have heard from others of you who shared my surprise at just how gorgeous this Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder is in real life. (BTW, it is estimated that it will be unavailable until next week.) The picture in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog (page 177) just doesn’t do it justice. Of course, it’s not the first time I haven’t been crazy about a product right away, and before too long I hope to share a card using another product I just didn’t “get” immediately.
