Daffodil Delight 3D Embossing Folder

Do daffodils bring a smile to your face? This embossing folder features a beautiful array of daffodils. The flowers are set so you may emboss them along the side of a card lengthwise or across a card in the center, top, or bottom. This embossing folder coordinates with the Build-A-Garden: Daffodil Delight Stamp Set and Layering Stencil Set.

2 Creative Ways of Using Daffodil Delight 3D Embossing Folder

First up, I swiped Toasted Mauve and Pink Sand onto the 3D embossing folder. To diffuse the ink blotches, I used Altenew Ink Blending Tool (Small) and brushed over the ink. I then dry-embossed the images onto a piece of Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock.

Since this is partial dry-embossing, there will be a line once you have embossed it. I applied a piece of Glitter Cardstock (Gilded). You can see that I took it to the next level by adding a cute ribbon bow!

Here is a BOW-tiful reason to get the Banner Sentiment Cover Die. I took the 3 smallest ribbon banners and stars and decorated the strip.

Lastly, I added the die-cut sentiment (with Pink Diamond Ink) from One-Go Birthday Greetings Stamp & Die Bundle.  My next card has more dry-embossing.

Here are the 6 steps to achieving the look:

1. Cut and trim a piece of Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock (80 lbs) to size.

2. Ink and swipe the ink (Citrus Burst, Vanilla Cream, and Sunkissed ) onto the top side of the embossing folder.

3. Lightly spritz a mist of water over the ink, then dry-emboss.

4. Change the orientation of the embossing folder and repeat steps 1-3.

5. Die cut Gel Printing Soft Washes Paper with Sentiment Banners Cover Die and stamp some sentiments from Sentiment Strips 3.

6. Add Instant Dimension Foam Tape and embellish with Gold Metallic Thread and Satin Gold Sequins.

Are you loving these ideas? You can apply the techniques and tips to any of your Altenew Embossing Folders. I hope this post inspires you to create.

Designer's Tips!

When embossing on a dark cardstock, try smooshing some white or gold pigment ink over the raised surfaces and you will get a great contrast that will accentuate the texture.
