In honor of the 25% OFF Embossing Folder SALE at Simon Says Stamp, I’m sharing an embossing folder card idea using one of my favorites–the Blooming Wreath Embossing Folder.  This is my second time using it, and I can already tell it’s going to be a staple in my craft room.  The design is so beautiful and timeless, it’s one of those must-have embossing folders you’ll reach for again and again.

For this card, I paired the embossed background with the Dragonfly Duo and continued my current love of purple card designs and arched layouts.  This time, instead of shaping the card base, I created a soft white embossed background behind the arch for an elegant layered look.

Let’s jump in and I’ll show you exactly how I created this embossing folder card step-by-step.

• Impressionistic Flower Die set (sentiment)
• A2 Arches layering die set

I think I should have titled this post “How many products can you use on one card!”, LOL

How to create the Blooming Wreath Embossing Folder Card:

1 – Create the Card Base:

Start with a white top-folding A2-sized white card base (4-1/4″ x 11″, score and fold at 5-1/2″).

Cut Lavender cardstock panel to 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ and white heat emboss the Gerbera Daisy Background Stamp to add subtle texture and detail.  Then, attach it to the card base.

2 – Create the Arched Embossed Panel:

Using the A2 Arches Nested Dies, cut two panels–one from white cardstock and one slightly larger from Lavender Cardstock.

Emboss the white panel with the Blooming Wreath Embossing Folder to create a detailed floral background.  Layer it onto the Lavender panel, then attach it to the card front with foam tape for added dimension and depth.

3 –  Die Cut and Ink Blend the Dragonfly Duo.

Die cut two dragonflies using the Flourish Dragonfly Duo die set.  Ink blend the wings with Orchid and Lilac inks to create a soft purple gradient, leaving the bodies white for contrast.

Next, die cut two leaves from the light green cardstock using the Windswept Leaves Die Set.  Adhere the leaves to the top and bottom of the arch, then attach the dragonflies using foam squares to enhance dimension and movement.

4 – Add the sentiment:

Die cut the sentiment from the Impressionistic Flower Die set, cutting the shadow layer from vellum, and the word layer from Lavender cardstock.

---

5 – Embellish the card:

Finish your embossing folder card by adding Clear Pawsitively Dazzling Gems around the design for a touch of sparkle and visual balance.
