These two cards both use the products from the brand-new Fall/Halloween collection! Foiled Happy Halloween Card First, let’s take a look at the first card. On this card I combined foiling with ink blending. I started by creating the background. I knew that I wanted a Halloween look, so I decided to go with purple color with deep black corners. I added ink to the top portion only, leaving the bottom and the center of the card light.…

Hello, there! It’s Marge here again with gorgeous New Classics March Collection. Today I’m going to share how to make patterned backgrounds using dry embossing technique. Since all the dies in Classics March Collection are nested dies, with different patterns on frames one by one in a set, they are just perfect for making interesting patterns all together. So here are my cards for today. To begin, I cut a white card stock using the largest frame die in the Fancy Edged Rectangles Dies set, then I placed all other smaller dies on it one by one, put a piece of masking tape on them to keep them from moving…
