Yep.  You read that right.  Regular heavy-duty household aluminum, glued to card stock for strength, and run through the Big Shot in an embossing folder.  We did the flip flop by getting fancy with the cutting plates on the Big Shot.  Sounds harder than it really was.  Try it!

A few folds in an 8 1/2″ x 11″ sheet of paper and one cut gives you 2 diagonal pockets that can open for an inside greeting too. We embellished a card for the back pocket and put a gift card in the front one.  Add a bit of embellishment and you’re done!

I should have named this A Card full of Cherries!  Cherry Cobbler card stock, and an image of cherries from Mouthwatering.  What you can’t see is that the cherries were embossed with cherry scented embossing powder.  I love the way velum looks when embossed.

I had a hard time working out how to line up all these layers until I figured out to cut the layers at the same time. Problem solved!

I love that Stampin’ Up! allows me to coordinate stamps and dies as well as ink, paper, ribbon, and other embellishments.

Embossed Resist – Hello Doily 10-8-11

This card is really gorgeous in person, if I do say so myself.  You would think there’s an actual doily on the card!  Stamp the doily, emboss with White embossing powder, and keep on hand for just about any event.  Sponge with an appropriate color, add as sentiment, and you’re ready to go.  This photo shows a spider and Basic Black sponging for Halloween, 5-Petal Punched flowers and Cherry Cobbler sponging for Christmas, A Basic Pearl embellishment and Crumb Cake sponging for a lovely wedding card, Pretty in Pink or Pink Pirouette sponging would make a nice card for a baby shower, 5-Petal Punched flowers and Perfect Plum or Old Olive for perhaps a birthday or even get well.  You get the idea.  This is a great card to keep on hand!  And to think it requires very few tools: Hello Doily and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets, Whisper White or Naturals White card stock, White embossing powder, a Heat Tool, and one or more stamp pads.
