2023 Christmas Card Club

 Hi Crafters,

It's the first of our Christmas Card Club challenges today and our theme is 

EMBOSSING FOLDERS


Recipe
Creative Expressions Embossing Folder
Two Red Robins Stag and Christmas Foliage Dies
Tonic & Duo Dies Sentiments
Carnation Crafts Diamond Sparkle Spray

Challenges I'd like to enter:
Can You Handle The Pressure - ATG Embossing opt. Snow
Incy Wincy Designs - Christmas + / Movement
Pearly Sparkles - #80 No Designer Paper
Christmas Crafts All Year Round - 1 of Something/Tree (1 Stag)

I've had this lovely embossing folder for a few years now and often use it on my Christmas cards, it's an 8" x 8" folder and embosses really well too. This stag is also a great image for male cards and I made a few cards similar to this last year. The rest of the ladies on the team have been busy too and to take a look at their creations just click the links to their blogs under the CCC tab in my sidebar.

Very striking image Lorraine, beautifully presented with the beautiful embossing folder. I'm quite excited now as I unwrapped my new Gemini today ... so I too could consider bigger embossing folders - I never really use my old ones as they are mostly 5.5 * 4 inches so too small for a background on a 6 inch square card. Lovely to see the results that are achievable with bigger folders
