Embossed Hugs Card
The Design Team will concentrate on embossing projects in the month of November. I have many embossing folders and need to use them more frequently. They dress up a card front, and add elegance in a subtle way. Be sure to watch the video for a quick, stress free way to tie the ribbon knot for the card front.
Supplies
- Neenah Solar White Cardstock 80lb
- Gray and Black Cardstock, 65lb
- Power Flowers stamp set
- Big Time Sayings stamp set

Assembly:
- Cut the Black Cardstock at 4 1/4” x 11”. Fold at 5 1/2” to make a 4 ¼ x 5 1/2 card base, top folding card.
- Cut 2 pieces of gray cardstock at 4 x 5 ¼”.
- Emboss 1 gray piece with the flower embossing folder and die cut machine.
- Stamp the other gray piece for the inside of the card. I used “Sending Hugs” and Versafine Black Onyx Ink.
