I have actually heat embossed!!!

I have created this folder of papers goodies as part of a swap over on UKS

I hope that the person I made it for likes green!I started out with a 12x12 sheet of Bazzill Smoothie ardstock, then stamped using Versamark ink & embossed using clear powder for the bigger image & lime green for the smaller ones. I then measured & cut out the 4 corners. I made fold marks using my Scor-Pal (I love this bit of kit) as shown below. I then made a couple of holes in the back of the folder to thread the ribbons through!

Next I made an ATC sized pocket with more Bazzill smoothie, to hold hand stamped journaling cards, adding ribbon to tie!

Next I decorated the front by holding a snowflake template {these were a set of freebies with Papercraft Inspirations Magazine, given to me by a friend} I then patted my Pearl Paint Dabber {another product I would hate to not have in my crop bag} to create the snowflake & allowed to dry!

{TOP TIP} There will be a lot of paint left on the template, don't waste it, choose a piece of cardstock & lay the template carefully on it, this will create a negative image

When completely dry, I then added a large gem flower & glued a smaller on in the middle, before embellishing the snowflake with gemstones. I then made holes for the ribbons!

I used a stamp that I had in one of my Scrapagogo kits earlier in the year to make the journaling cards. It will all be enclosed in the embossed folder, along with some cards & envelopes & a extra few goodies that I won't disclose here.

Now all I hope for is that the person that I am posting this too, will like it too!
