Allsorts Challenge ~ Embossing Folders

I was delighted to choose the theme for the Allsorts Challenge this week and I chose 'Embossing Folders'.  I wouldn't say that I have an embossing folder addiction, but I probably have enough to open my own shop! 😂

I made a Ruby Wedding Anniversary for friends who recently celebrated 40 years of married bliss.  The background was embossed with a Creative Expression 'Heart Lattice' embossing folder and layered on a red, pearlised mat.  I used a Memory Box 'Heart of Hearts' die with white card, layered it on a red, pearlised 'Stitched Scalloped Circle' die cut and raised it up on foam pads.   The sentiment was computer generated. 

Prizes this month are from Oakwood, SizzixAALL and Create and Craft Stash, please visit our Patrons page to read more about each.

The DT have made some beautiful cards for inspiration which you can see on the Allsorts Challenge blog.  I hope you can get out your embossing folders and join in the challenge.  As always you can choose to use the Anything Goes option.

I am joining in the following challenges:

  17. It's so easy to get addicted to embossing folders, there are so many fun ones! I am really loving the one you used, so pretty and elegant looking. Love this card Liz! So pretty with the colors of red and white and I love the heart die you used. It looks so great on that scallop circle. I didn't know that a 40th wedding anniversary was Ruby. I need to learn more about that. LOL Hugs, Brenda
