Glossy Double-Embossed 3D Magnolia Blooms by Jean Okimoto

Accent the details of the Magolia Blooms 3D Embossing Folder and Cutting Dies Set with pressure- and heat-embossing for extra dimension and glossy highlights. Hi, Jean here with a double-embossed design from our Magnolia Collection.

Diecut heavy white cardstock with the 3.75" x 5" A2 Rectangle Frames die. Spray both sides of the rectangle with a light mist of water - give each side 2 quick spritzes from about 12" away. Pressure-emboss it with the Magnolia Blooms folder - slightly offset so the layered diecut blossom will extend beyond the right edge. Attach it to a top-folded 5.5" square white card.

Glue two pieces of pale pink cardstock together for extra thickness. Cut it with the large matching die from the embossing folder set. Press VersaMark ink onto the blossom on the embossing folder - use a light tapping motion. Place the diecut in the folder and pressure-emboss it using the plates and/or mats required for your machine.

Use a cottom swab to daub the blossom's center with mustard-yellow ink. Impress' Harvest Fresh Ink was used here. Heat-emboss the entire blossom to highlight the texture and add a glossy finish.

Glue two pieces of light mint green cardstock together for dimension and diecut Tilted Thanks.

Cut the loose leaves - at the bottom of the Magnolia Leaf Branch - from light mint green cardstock. Attach the leaves behind the blossom, then attach the blossom + leaves to the background.

Attach the greeting - use a sliver of foam tape behind letter "t." Autumn Fairy Crystals. Cut a 5.5 square of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing. Square cards require extra postage and special handling.

The Magnolia Blooms 3D Embossing Folder and Cutting Dies set includes two blossom dies to create a variety of designs. Use the versatile dies to cut stencils too - for quick and easy cards on a busy day.

Thanks for visiting - see you on Friday...
