Embossed Frame card
Hi crafters! If you want to learn how to use an embossing folder on your die cuts, then this in the video for you to watch! It is a bit tricky, but easily achievable once you see how to do it.
The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue. This is something I need to watch as there are times I want my frames to stand out but I love the depth of the embossing, so my question has always been - cut first or put the cardstock through the folder then cut so just before we start a new crafting year I'll get my answer. Looking forward to watching when I find a few spare moments now I'm back home. Enjoy your day whatever your plans xxx
Hi Sue Oh I need to see how to do this. I will look forward to a quiet 10 minutes with my feet up and a cuppa! Beautiful card. Love it when you use vellum for your flowers - and butterflies in this case. The small touch of sparkle adde to the gorgeous butterfly Is perfect and the colour on that gorgeous frame is perfect. I will look forward to all the crafty secrets and how-to’s when I watch you later Sue x Happy Saturday everyone x Crafty hugs PP Yvonne x
Morning Sue. Thank you so much, for reminding me to do some more embossing in the frame, A beautiful technique, a very pretty card Sue, thank you. Take care and have fun Kitty.
Hello Sue, a beautiful card and interesting video too. As you say a bit fiddly, mostly I think just getting it through the machine. Love the butterflies and vellum flowers too. Xx
Gorgeous Sue I don’t use my EF’s often enough but I love the effects and always think when I’ve finished a card “maybe I should have embossed that layer” Off to watch the video now
Morning Sue, Can't wait to watch the video as your embossed frame looks great. I must admit that I haven't had much success when trying this technique. Hugs xxx Pauline

Hi Sue. Love the delicate design on this card. I am so pleased that you have made a video using this technique of embossing die cuts as I have seen you do it so many times and forgotten how to do it. No excuses now. Thank you for sharing again.
Hello Sue and all Such a pretty card and the colours are gorgeous. The faded jeans ink really makes the sentiment stand out and I love the way you have embossed the dies and that you have worked out the sandwich for us, thank you starting to settle down now after the Christmas celebrations, family going home tomorrow, bit sad, Hugs Muriel x

Hi Sue, my apologies for not commenting on this beautiful card yesterday, I wanted to watch the video first but did not get a chance to do so. I needed the reminder about embossing with the die/s in place and your video showed it perfectly. Love the vellum butterfly and flowers, they give the card a really delicate look.
A wonderful card Sue xx Hazel
