Last night I had a demonstrator meeting and we had a great time.  There were nine of us and we had fun sharing and stamping and learning from one another.  I’ll share more about our projects and swaps later this week after I take pictures of everything.

Now I have another card to share using the Just Believe stamp set again.  I created this one to show a group of my stampers how to use a Brayer to add ink to one of our Embossing Folders.

For this card I used the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folder.  Using a brayer and the Old Olive ink I added ink to the inside of the folder on one side – I put the ink on the side where the pluses are raised.  Then put a piece of Crumb Cake card stock inside the folder and run it through the Big Shot Die-Cut machine.  When you do this ink gets pressed into the depressions that are created by the embossing folder.

To finish the card I sponged the edges of the embossed piece with Early Espresso ink and tied a piece of Satin Ribbon around it.  That gets layered on the front of the card base.

The leaf image is stamped in Old Olive on Whisper White card stock and punched out with the new Decorative Label punch from the Holiday Mini catalog.  This piece was sponged a little bit.  I punched another piece out of Old Olive and cut it in half lengthwise.  You’ll need to trim the little tips off and then you can layer it on the back of the white on each side.  It gives the illusion of a larger layered punch.  Add the finished piece to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped a matching envelope and also stamped on the inside of the card to match.
