Embossed Cards with Handmade Papers

Hi everyone, I've got a new project on the Arnold Grummer blog.


Using assorted handmade papers made with Arnold Grummer's paper making kit, I cut each paper to fit my cards, then embossed each with a different embossing folder.  Next, I inked each panel with assorted colors of VersaMagic inks.


My blue card uses an  embossing folder from Craft-Too.  The flowers were inked and the panel was matted with kraft cardstock.  Twine was wrapped around the panel and several brads were placed within the flowers.  The panel was then added to the card with foam adhesives.  A sentiment was stamped on a left over scrap,  matted on cardstock and added to center of the card.


My green card was embossed with a Cuttlebug script embossing folder and inked with green ink.  The panel was matted with kraft cardstock then added to a card.  The sunflower was stamped on another piece of the handmade paper and colored with Memento Markers.  Once colored, it was fussy cut and matted with cardstock and fussy cut again.  It was then added to the card with foam adhesives.  The sentiment was stamped on a left over scrap and matted with cardstock before being added to the card.



My purple card was embossed with a Cuttlebug music embossing folder and lightly inked.  It was matted with 2 layers of purple cardstock.  The flowers were added to the upper right corner with a brad and the panel was then added to the card.  The phrase was stamped on a scrap of handmade paper and matted with cardstock before being added to the card with foam adhesives.




What do you think?  Handmade papers are perfect for creating personal cards.

Thanks for stopping by.
