Argyle – New Cuttlebug Embossing Folder!

by on July 24, 2008

Yes, I am loving, loving, loving the new Cuttlebug embossing folders.  This one is called Argyle.  I’m trying to keep things simple, but I feel a little bit naked without layers.  To emphasize the dimension on this embossing folder, I used soft chalks to add a little bit of color.  The background is then popped on a piece of metallic blue paper then attached to the background.  I’ve been using Fabriano Acquarello Watercolor paper because it gives such a deep impression when embossed.  It has a rough texture and takes chalk very differently than the smooth white Georgia Pacific cardstock I normally use.   I’ve also tried to use a little bit of depth with the border punch used at the top – it reminds me of a fancy valance.

I hope to have more this week using Cuttlebug items!

Fabulous card Becca… The watercolor paper does take on such a nicer impression that regular cardstock.
Have a great day!

I love this card! I didn’t order this embossing folder, but I just knew that someone would make me regret not ordering it :). Now I will have to get this too ;). The card is just beautiful, but all of your cards are.

Becca….is that Three Layers to the nestibilities with the cute little boy jumper? It looks almost like a button effect, the way the top layer stands out and the scallop looks like it’s underneath. Darling card…..as usual.

I have just purchased this folder and was looking for some ideas, I never thought of baby cards but this works so well, I hope you don’t mind me borrowing your idea – not the whole card just the background.

baby books should have as many pictures as possible because babies like to see pictures .:~
