Today I’m sharing another project from my October classes featuring the fabulous Merriest Moments bundle by Stampin’ Up! On this card I wanted to show how amazing the Merriest Frames dies are with the Hybrid Embossing Folder.
I originally designed the card with a Real Red base but changed it to Thick Basic White with a mat layer of Real Red so I could die cut the flowers from the mat – as no-one can see the middle of the mat once the white layer is added.
Here are a couple of close ups so you can see the detail – it turned out really pretty don’t you think.
What is a hybrid embossing folder? It is one that’s designed to work with dies. The hybrid embossing folder gives specific, intricate detail to the dies that coordinate with it, allowing you to layer them and to mix and match features. Take a look at what I did without using many of the dies that are included to cut out the various leaves, greenery and poinsettias. There is so much potential with this bundle!

If you click below you can see the type of card kit I give to everyone that come to one of my classes and how easy this card is to make. It is lovely that I’ve gained a number of new subscribers this month so I’ve done a short piece to camera to show my face … I’m really more comfortable behind the camera though!
