Simon Says Stamp Cheering For You release Blog Hop - Day 1

I'm happy to be participating in the Simon Says Stamp Cheering For You release blog hop. I am sharing a project using the new Swirled Ridges embossing folder three ways! I have a reel on my Instagram showing a quick demonstration of each technique I used.
Simon is giving away a $25 shopping spree to a lucky winner! The winner will be picked from the comments left along the hop. Each comment you leave will be an entry into the drawing. REMEMBER: If you want to leave a comment on this post, make sure you include your name so we can reach you if you are selected for the giveaway!  
Copic markers: I first ran a piece of white cardstock through the swirled embossing folder. Using several copic markers I colored each swirl. I then trimmed it down and added to a white A2 card base to leave a bit of a white border. The sentiment was cut 3 times from more white cardstock and ahered together for thickness. I stamped the sub-sentiment on black cardstock with white embossing ink and heat set it with white embossing powder.
Distress with sandpaper: This time before I ran the white piece of cardstock through the embossing folder, I applied distress inks heavily to each corner. When I removed it from the folder I used a sandpaper tool to buff off the top layer of the ridges to reveal the white underneath. Again, I die cut the sentiment 3 times from white cardstock for thickness. I stamped the sub-sentiment on black cardstock with white embossing ink and heat set it with white embossing powder. I added a few sequins for a bit sparkle. Note: Unfortunately I tried to link the Let' Party die and it has been discontinued.
Applying ink pad directly: Last,  I applied distress inks lightly to each corner of a pice of white cardstock and then ran it through the embossing folder. I used the ink pad directly to the top of the raised parts of the pattern. I trimmed it down and added to the card base. I die cut the sentiment 3 times from white cardstock for thickness. I stamped the sub-sentiment on black cardstock with white embossing ink and heat set it with white embossing powder. I added a few sequins for a bit sparkle.
I hope you enjoyed the projects I have shared with you today. For lots more inspiration make sure you visit the Cheering For You gallery and day 2 of the blog hop.

    I have to admit I had no idea how or why I'd use the swirl embossing folder. Your three cards sure changed that. Not only do I love the vibrant colors but I also love the sentiments. Each card using a different technique was a real bonus for me. Thanks so much for sharing.

I'm so happy to be sharing inspiration for the STAMPtember blog party! Happy 15th anniversary!! Check out this exclusive promotion for stopping by today!!👇👇 I have created a couple of projects to share using some of the amazing goodies from the new Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember release. I created this card with an A2 card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down a panel of Yupo paper to create an autumnal background using alcohol inks. When it was dry I trimmed it down to fit the card base leaving a bit of a white border. I then die cut a frame from white cardstock and added to the card with liquid glue. I then die cut the new Fancy Just Because die from more white cardstock. The butterflies were cut from matte gold cardstock using the new Ooh La La Butterflies die and adhered with a glue dot in the middle so their wings could pop up. The next project I made also began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white paper. I then trimmed down another piece of
