NEW VIDEO – Colored Embossed Double Vision Technique | with Embossing Folders

Hey cardmaking friends.

As promised, I have a brand- new video for you today!  I took last week’s Embossed Double Vision Technique Video, and gave it a colorful makeover using the same Peony and Bells Embossing Folder.  Then I took it a step further by combining it with the Blackout Technique to create an even more dramatic effect.

But, I didn’t stop there!  I used the same colors with two more newly released embossing folders from Simon Says Stamp to create two additional cards, showing just how versatile this amazing technique really is.

What I love most about this combination is that you don’t have to be an artist, and you certainly don’t have to be an expert at coloring.  The technique is incredibly forgiving and makes it easy for anyone to create cards that look beautifully detailed and professionally colored.

I hope you enjoy this new technique as much as I do and that you’ll give it a try!  If you do, I’d love to see which embossing folders you choose for your own creations.

Reverse Birthday EZ Strips

Three handmade floral cards featuring the Colored Embossed Double Vision Technique. Each card showcases a different embossing folder—Peony & Bells, Peony Trio, and Curvy Blossom—colored with vibrant blue, teal, pink, and green Copic markers over aqua ink-dragged backgrounds. The cards are arranged in a staggered display with leafy greenery in the upper left, highlighting the versatility of the technique.

How to create the Colored Embossed Double Vision Technique with Embossing Folders:

Begin by embossing a panel of white cardstock trimmed to 4″ x 5-1/4″.

Flip the panel over to the debossed side and color the image with Copic markers as shown in the video.

The blue peony is colored with Copic markers and set against a weathered aqua barnwood background created with ink dragging. Alternating raised strips create the dimensional Double Vision effect, while pink lily of the valley flowers, a black "Happy Birthday" sentiment, and green gems complete the design.
Next, drag the Ocean Ink Pad across the surface several times until you achieve a streaky, barnwood” style background.

Using a paper trimmer, cut the embossed panel into 1/2″ strips.

Attach the strips to a 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel of Cosmic Sky cardstock.  Use foam strips on the raised strips and liquid glue on the flat strips to create the dimensional “Double Vision” effect.

The embossed blue peonies are colored with Copic markers and layered over a weathered aqua barnwood background. Alternating raised strips create the dimensional Double Vision effect, while a stacked black birthday sentiment and green gems add the finishing touches.

PROTIP: – In this video, I share an easy way to line up the strips so they are perfectly spaced and uniform every time.

Create a white A2-sized top-folding card base and attach a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ panel of Cosmic Sky cardstock to the front.

Finish the card by adding a sentiment in the lower right corner and embellishing with Sprout Dazzling Gems for a touch of sparkle.

    Love the cirs esp the one with pink! The technique is a nice change from using flat most of the time thx so much for explains how you used reversed side and not to worry about the coloring not being perfect with this technique. ( I’m not a coloring person.) thx again!
