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, Sizzix, AALL 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:
You don't say Liz, would never have guess you have a few EF's! A gorgeous Ruby Anniversary card and a great theme as well, thank you.

You've chosen just the right embossing folder for this card - sounds as if you have a good selection 😉. Reckon there are many of us who have enough 'stuff' to open a shop.

ReplyDeleteI always think that confession means you can buy more (in my case paper pads!!). A really great theme Liz and it certainly made me rifle through my collection. Love this ruby red card, lovely design xx
ReplyDeleteIn that case, I’ll also confess to having a paper pad addiction! 🤣

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
ReplyDeleteWow, I love all the little hearts to make one big heart. Stunning. Thanks for sharing with us at Use Your Stuff
ReplyDeleteI love the way you personalized this anniversary card and created it with the coordinating gemstone colors! It's such a lovely gesture to make a card especially for a couple this way. Loving that heart with all the tiny hearts and like you - I may be able to open a shop with my collection of embossing folders too LOL
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and lovely card, perfect for the Ruby Anniversary. All beautifully designed.
