TIPS:

-Rub the (retired) embossing buddy or a used dryer sheet on the card stock before embossing to reduce static.  A small paintbrush also helps remove unwanted specks of embossing powder before you heat it.

-This is called the Glow Technique.  Stamp an image with White Craft ink on Basic Black card stock.  Clean the stamp, and stamp again with regular ink.

TIPS:

-This fun fold is called a Corner Tuck Card.

-Only add 3 dimensionals to the corners on the triangle piece.

-The retired Adhesive Backed Snowflakes also look nice on this card!


Corner Tuck Card

1.    Cut the card base (4 ¼” x 8”) and score at 2 ½”.

2.    Cut a 3” x 3” piece of Designer Paper in half, corner to corner. Add a piece of card stock to the back to add stability.  Attach to the top right corner of the card base with 3 dimensionals (one in each corner).

3.    Fold score line on card base.  Add Designer paper, ribbon, etc to the flap.

4.    Stamp words/designs on 3” x 3” Basic White card stock.  Attach to a coordinating piece of 3 ¼” x 3 ¼” of card stock.  Attach to the flap using adhesive on the left side only.  Stampin’ Seal + works well for this because the flap will be lifted and tucked under.

5.    Attach the 3” x 3” piece of Basic White card stock to the inside.  Place it under the Designer Paper triangle corner and centered so you can’t see it when you close the card.

TIPS

-This technique is called Emboss Resist.  Emboss the image in white, on white paper.  Rub ink over the paper.  Rub off the extra ink from the embossed images with a paper towel.

-Use the Embossing Buddy (retired) or a used dryer sheet to reduce static.  Then your powder won’t stick as much to places you don’t want it to!

-The retired Adhesive Backed Snowflakes also look nice on this card!
