Project
Today, I'll be sharing 2 different looks using 3D Embossing Folders and thin paper strips. This is a great way to use up your scraps.
I started by taking Wisteria, Mountain Mist, Buttercream, and Pink Diamond Cardstock. I cut these each into four 1/4″ strips, two 1/2″ strips, and a 1″ strip. Then I adhered these randomly onto two 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ pieces of copy paper. Once these panels were covered, I sprayed them lightly with water. Then I embossed them using Cool Doodles and Pressed Flowers 3D Embossing Folders.
Look 1
For the panel I embossed with Cool Doodles 3D Embossing Folder, I added white pigment ink. And it was a simple as that!
Look 2
The panel embossed with Pressed Flowers 3D Embossing Folder was a little more involved. Once it was embossed, I cut the panels apart from each other. I then went over each panel with ink lightly to enhance the embossing. For the Wisteria Cardstock, I used Hydrangea Crisp Dye Ink; for the Mountain Mist Cardstock, I used Volcano Lake Crisp Dye Ink; for the Buttercream Cardstock, I used Fresh Lemon Crisp Dye Ink, and for the Pink Diamond Cardstock I used Pinkalicious Crisp Dye Ink. I then adhered these pieces into place onto a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card base.
The sentiments come from Just A Number Stamp Set and were stamped using Obsidian Pigment Ink.
To see how these cards came together please check out the video below. Or over on YouTube:

What a fabulous video, I definitely have to try this technique!
Wow!! The pressed flowers looks amazing! I love how the color of the ink changes with the cardstock!
Love the idea of using scraps but I don’t get enough of one color to make them look as nice as these.
I like the Pressed Flowers image. I think you would need a guillotine trimmer to avoid flattening the embossed image while cutting it into strips.
Great idea! I wouldn’t have thought of using up scraps with an embossing folder! TFS
Such a fun technique! I do love using up my scraps!
Such a great idea for using scraps up! I love it! The colors you used on these were so pretty. Definitely going to try this myself.
