Learn how to use Embossed card stock or Designer Series paper to create a fun look to your cards. I used the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder to this card.

Welcome to my blog! So happy you decided to pop in and get some inspiration to help you create cards. This card was created using Designer Series Paper from the CountrySide Inn suite by Stampin Up®!

Embossing is a great way to add dimension and wow factors to your cards. There are two ways that we can add embossing to our cards.

• Heat
• Dry

Heat Embossing is when you use versa mark ink, embossing powder and a heat tool. Click here for more information on Heat Embossing.

Dry Embossing is when you bring in an Embossing Folder to add texture to either a piece of card stock or designer series paper. Then run it through a Die cut machine such as the Stamp N Cut machine by Stampin Up®. This is the method I used for this card.

I wanted to bring in a delicate look to this card so I brought in the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder. Embossing folders are a quick and easy way to add dimension and texture to your cards. I call it one of my easy buttons.
