Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing a technique that's been around for a while but never gets old. My friend Lani showed me a gorgeous card she made using the Woodland Embossing Folder and I just had to give it a go! Here's my version: I love the way this turned out and it's so much simpler to make than it looks. Follow along while I explain - these are the basic supplies you'll need: You will be working on the inside of the front of the embossing folder. The front is the side with "Sizzix" printed on it. Open the folder and using a sponge brayer and Smoky Slate, roll the ink onto the folder until you can see a pale gray shadow. Next, using the evergreen stamp from Lovely as a Tree, stamp directly on the embossing folder in Basic Gray ink. Start with the first tree in the middle, move to either side of that tree and stamp again without re-inking your stamp. Repeat until you have 5 trees stamped across the folder. Be sure to move the stamp up or down each time - this will give the illusion that some of the trees are further in the background. Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" and position it on the un-inked side of the folder. When you have it straight (left & right edges parallel to the edge of the folder), carefully close the embossing folder. Being careful not to let the cardstock slip inside of the folder, run it through the Big Shot as you normally would. Ta-da! How cool is that? To finish the card, I trimmed my embossed piece to 4" x 5-1/4" and added Dazzling Diamonds glitter to one side of each tree trunk and on each horizontal branch. I used a Zig Glue Pen for this step. The 2 birds are from the Thoughtful Branches Bundle, which has been retired (sad, I know!). The sentiment comes from the Holly Berry Happiness stamp set. I used Real Red for this and the birds. The ovals are cut with the Layering Ovals dies. The larger oval is cut from Basic Gray. The card base is Basic Gray. The inside sentiment is also from the Holly Berry Happiness stamp set and I added another Lovely as a Tree evergreen and two more birds for a pop of color. I hope you're inspired to try this technique for yourself! The supplies you'll need are listed below - click on any of them to go directly to my website to purchase them. Sadly the die-cuts for the birds are no longer available, but your local craft store should have some pre-made embellishments that would add a pop of color to your card!
