Are you tired of seeing these yet?  I’m really enjoying them!   This will be my clean up day to show you the rest of the embedded embossing cards, then I will show off some of the cards I created while doing research for my weekend crop projects.  The cards were fun to make, and something I could do in between Mom duties.   Not sure what happened with the color balance on this next card, but you can see the layout pattern regardless of the colors being “off.”

Only layered a punched vine on this one, but to me it says simple elegance.Happy Crafting!

I don’t know about you, but in my life I am lucky to get a few minutes of uninterrupted craft time.  It’s all good.  The kids will be grown and out of the house before I can blink, but at times I wouldn’t mind finding a cubby where I can hide and still be able to craft!  So,  here are some more cards following the same embedded embossing technique that I’ve been doing the last few days.  Enjoy.

I was enjoying seeing how many layers I could make to try and use up the paper faster.  It seems to regenerate every time I get the bag out the next time.

I even cut up some of the bulk paper from this Emporium pack (old CTMH paper) to use as mats for the card bases.  I really do have a lot of this paper left!

I’m loving the honey comb embossing folder from CTMH.  (Z1995)

Here are some more cards I created from the old CTMH Emporium paper pack.  I swear I didn’t even make a dent in the number of scraps that are still in the bag.  (I even double matted some too!)

I did more embedded embossing, which is currently a favorite technique.

I’ve been encouraging my club gals to use up their old paper packs instead of just pushing them to the back of the shelf.  So, in trying to give them inspiration, I will have a few blog posts showing my use of the CTMH Emporium paper pack (and many pages of bulk paper for that kit). 

The squares, strips of paper and a few butterflies were found in the kit bag, so I only had to punch the green branch and create the buttercup flowers.  I did not add any cardstock, everything (except the card bases) came out of the Emporium paper kit bag.
I glued the blue B&T paper (background and texture) and the vineyard berry CS (Card Stock)  to the chocolate CS base.  After the glue dried I used the Dot Embossing Folder (Z1924)  and embossed the card base.  I pop dotted the butterfly and glued the branch and flowers on top of the embedded embossed base.  Presto – finished card.

Followed the same basic ideas for this card.  I had punched the circles out of the brown B&T papers and thought the negative would make a nice background .

Here’s the last card for today.  I am really enjoying using up “old” paper packs.  Some of the kits seem to have a never ending supply of scraps.

Happy Crafting!
