I am coming to you today with brand new cards using the new <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/2xshc\">Floral Centerpiece Embossing Folder<\/a><\/strong> from the new <a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/2xsha\"><strong>Born to Sparkle Release<\/strong> <\/a>(And oh my goodness, its stunning! Also, Simon Says Stamp did send this folder to me at no obligation to use it, but come on, its beautiful!) I was able to make quite a few cards using this lovely embossing folder and this is my first card up today! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started by grabbing a beautiful deep plum paper and cut it down to 4.25 X 5.5. Next, I took my<a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/2xsh7\"> <strong>Hero Arts Unicorn Pigment Ink<\/strong><\/a> and lightly swiped it onto my embossing folder. I make sure to use the side that had the debossed image (nothing raised). After I achieved a good coat, I sent this folder through my Gemini die cutting machine. These embossing folders are on the heftier side, so in order to get a decent image, I use the following sandwich: Magnetic cutting plate (bottom), Embossing Folder, Clear Cutting Plate. I have had really good luck with this method!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After trying to figure out how to use this panel, I had this idea to do a spotlight technique. So after landing on the <a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/2xsh6\"><strong>Etched Eucalyptus Wreath die<\/strong>,<\/a> I cut a portion of the embossed panel out that would fit almost perfectly within the wreath. I used my <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/2xsh5\">Circle Nesting dies.<\/a><\/strong> I then added some foam to the back to give it a little dimension. I then needed to add some interest to the background. I recently had received this beautiful <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/2xsh3\">Picket Fence Details of a Wing Stenc<\/a>il <\/strong>and decided to try a dry embossing technique. I grabbed my rubber embossing mat and sent up my sandwich and sent it through and LOVED how it came out! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grabbed my favorite sentiments, this one being from the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/2xsh1\">Reverse Sentiment Miss You<\/a>.<\/strong> I have many individuals I am missing and while I don&#8217;t have a guest room, I do have a lovely couch that I hear is fabulous in a pinch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check this amazing release out and while your at it, shop with me! I will be posting additional cards all week using this beautiful folder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Book-a-Flight-Front.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Book-a-Flight-Front.png 800w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Book-a-Flight-Front-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Book-a-Flight-Front-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Book-a-Flight-Front-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Book-a-Flight-Front-295x295.png 295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Book-a-Flight-side.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Book-a-Flight-side.png 800w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Book-a-Flight-side-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Book-a-Flight-side-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Book-a-Flight-side-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Book-a-Flight-side-295x295.png 295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"526\" height=\"526\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/179245174_10226576218378467_2672258963495606568_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/179245174_10226576218378467_2672258963495606568_n.jpg 526w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/179245174_10226576218378467_2672258963495606568_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/179245174_10226576218378467_2672258963495606568_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/179245174_10226576218378467_2672258963495606568_n-295x295.jpg 295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Disclosure-1024x640.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-304\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
