    Adding Quick Color to Beveled Sentiments A2 Card Fronts

    October 3, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello! Jen Kotas here today with three cards featuring the Beveled Sentiments A2 Card Fronts 3D Embossing Folders. These sentiments fill almost the entire card panel and there are so many amazing techniques you can use. I helped my card along by starting with light-colored cardstock and layering up two different ink colors to make these sentiments stand out. I only had blending brushes to use on these cards. I bet they’ll look beautiful blended with foam as well. Emboss a light color of cardstock using the Beveled Hello A2 Cardfront, Beveled Thanks A2 Cardfront and Beveled Happy Birthday A2 Cardfront. I used light blue, light purple and light pink…

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of cute cards made with the new Out and About Collection.  The adorable die sets in this collection were all designed to work with the new Scout Mini Diecutting Machine, but I think you’ll see that the smaller cutting platform doesn’t limit your creativity at all!  Here I picked some of my favorite die sets from the collection to create three really fun cards that are sure to send a smile.
