Boy has this week flown, I've literally been all over the place this week both physically and mentally and didn't get much crafting done apart from attending our Terrific Tuesdays Craft Group's first day back for the year and making a Baby Card for a last minute order yesterday. Following a morning of shopping and because I am on dinner duty tonight I wanted to get a quick card made and catch up with all my Unity Friends for their Friday Friends With Flair so I have another CAS Card for you this week using the Inlaid Embossing Technique.
A QUICK HOW TO - IN LAID EMBOSSING
For my Inlaid Embossed Card I started with 3 Die Cut Hearts, a Piece of White Cardstock (as my backing piece) and the "Entangled" embossing Folder. You can use any punched or die cut shape, paper scraps or even stamped and coloured images to create your inlaid piece with your chosen embossing folder.
I simply positioned and stuck down my die cut hearts where I wanted them onto my white cardstock piece, and then ran this through the big shot machine using my Entangled Embossing Folder.
My 3 Die Cut Heats cut from floral paper positioned on the backing piece
Placing my piece in the embossing folder ready to emboss with the Big Shot
To complete my card today, once embossed I took some red ink on a sponge dauber and highlighted the embossed pattern on my hearts, this covers up any white showing from the papers core that I used for my hearts that has been exposed by the embossing process. I then simply mounted this white piece to my red cardstock base and added my stamped sentiments.
The circular words for my sentiment - 'You' and 'Are' are from my Unity November 2011 SMAK Kit whilst the 'Sweet, Kind, Nice, Wonderful' is from the January KOTM which I just received in the post yesterday.
There has been some exciting new stamp releases over on the Unity Site lately including some just being released today, so be sure to take a look and for more Unity Inspiration be sure to visit their blog and view the other FWF Creations this week.
I also created this card with the following challenges in mind.
