Designer’s Tip: I wanted to use the embossing folder in a unique way, so I embossed 4 pieces and glued the floral corners together in an X pattern. For these pieces of embossed Shimmer Sheetz, I was able to adhere them just fine using a good amount of glue stick.
Instructions:
- Card front: Place your card with the fold on the top. Emboss two Green Iris and two White Iris Shimmer Sheetz with the Postcard embossing folder. Cut out just the floral corners. Use a pencil and ruler to draw an “X” from corner to corner on the card. Glue a white floral corner at the top with the point at the center of the X. Glue the remaining pieces, points to the center and edges touching. Trim the excess straight along the top and the bottom of the card. Cut around the right and left edges, leaving a narrow white border as shown. Glue pink grosgrain ribbon along the bottom with Zips™, about 1" from the bottom. Die cut the curved label shape from Unforgettable ivory paper. Stamp and emboss "Congrats" and the swirly frame in the center with VersaMark™. Dust with Pink Fizz embossing powder, tap off the excess and set with a heat gun. Mat on Unforgettable pink paper with a 1/16" border and foam tape to the center of the ribbon. Glue the pink and white flowers around the greeting as shown.
- Card inside: Cut 4"x3 1/2" Unforgettable ivory paper and mat on unforgettable pink paper with a 1/8" border. Stamp a border of swirls along the top and bottom with Pink Pastel ink. Glue a pink flower at the bottom right as shown.
