Embossing Folders… I love them!! I think they are a must have product for any card maker or crafter! Sometimes they become a background and sometimes they can be your focal point, like the Floral Affection embossed flower image on my note card today! Find the complete selection of Stampin' UP!

** notes a product used on this project
When you emboss your paper in the Big Shot with this flower "Floral Affection" embossing folder, you can flip the cardstock either way, so that the outline of the flower is raised, or, so that the outline of the flower is depressed like I have shown here.
I rounded the corners on this piece of Watermelon Wonder cardstock with the Project Life corner rounder.
The base of this card is a Whisper White Note Card and I added 2 pieces of Affectionately Yours designer paper and stamped flowers on the piece at the bottom of the card from the Love & Affection stamp set. I also set it off with some crisp white Satin Ribbon. This ribbon retired after I made the card, but you could substitute the White Organza ribbon or the Watermelon Wonder striped ribbon referenced above.
I stamped the random flowers and the "sending a smile your way" greeting on the Watermelon Wonder embossed piece with Night of Navy ink.

I would have NEVER thought of flipping this one……Now I have to make cards this way. Love the look.
Good morning Patty,,,,, I couldn’t get on your blog yesterday. I guess our server was having problems . I couldn’t search anything but it’s ok today. I had to use my cell phone to look at your blog. I love your card and I always do,lol…. They are always gorgeous. I also use my embossing folders either way. Sometimes up and sometimes I flip them. I like the different looks. Have a great day.
