Poinsettia Birthday card

Today's post will show you how to get more use out of your holiday 3d embossing folders. One of my favorite holiday embossing folder was the Simon Says Stamp Poinsettia embossing folder. I was experimenting with non-holiday colors and realized that the florals of this folder look like flowers for any occasion. I also used one of my favorite techniques of turning over the embossing panel and adding ink directly to the panel. 
Card base: Top folding A2 size cut from smooth white cardstock.
Background: White cardstock trimmed down to leave a bit of a border ran through a 3d embossing folder. I colored the centers of the flowers with a yellow copic marker in the inverted side of the panel. Then a took a purple oxide ink pad and pulled over the entire top of the panel.
Sentiment: I colored strips white cardstock to coordinate with the background and cut the banners from them. I adhered the banner to the panel with 3d foam squares for extra dimension. Using foam squares also gives the banners an even look over the embossed areas.
I just loved this technique so much that I decided to make more using different colors. It's quite addicting once you get started it is hard to stop.
I hope you enjoyed the projects I made and got some inspiration to look for other ways to use your 3d embossing folders.  I provided affiliate links to all the supplies at no additional cost to you. Thank you for stopping by!
