Friday Quickie Techniques and Tips: Embossing with your Framelits

Welcome back to Friday Quickie Techniques and Tips!  With summer winding down, I thought it was the perfect time to bring back this popular series!  I hope you are excited to get back to it, too! 🙂

Gather Your Supplies:

• 1/2 Sheet Basic Black
• 3 3/4 x 5 Whisper White, plus 4 x 5 1/4" for inside of card
• 3 1/2 x 4 3/4" Lemon Lime Twist
• Black scrap for die cutting dragonfly
• Silicone Mat
• Happy Birthday Gorgeous Stamp Set
• Dragonfly Framelits
• Black Marker
• Big Shot
• Piece of Chipboard (like from Glimmer Paper)

The Big Shot Sandwich for you (from bottom up):

• Platform
• Thin Die Adaptor (or the old platform with all the tabs on the platform)
• Piece of Chipboard
• Silicone Craft Mat
• Cardstock
• Framelit
• ONE cutting pad

It should turn quite loosely in your big shot–if not STOP–you don't want to accidentally cut through the craft mat!

Isn't this cool?!?!  It gives you so many more options for coordinating texture using your framelits.  My favorite sets for this purpose (though any will work):

• May Flowers 
• Flourishing
• Bold Butterfly
• Eclectic
• Happy Birthday 
• Leaflets
• Lots of Labels
• Welcome Home
• Support Ribbon
• Butterflies
• Bloomin Heart
• Large Letters and Large Numbers
• Rose Garden
• Eastern Medallions
• Detailed Santa
• Starlight
• Sunshine Wishes
• Swirly Scribbles
• Up& Away
• Paisley 

Don't forget to decorate the inside of your card–especially on such a dark card base!

I think it turned out great with a little spritzing! 🙂

This is a card I made in a FB Live over the late winter/early spring time.  Super easy and I love the look! Made with Smoky Slate Card, Whisper White Panel (3 x 3) and Pool Party (1 x 3 3/4") with Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set and framelits

The Cool Treats set is another perfect way to use the coordinating framelits to create an adorable background!

Isn't that adorable?!

I think this card turned out so great–and it was so easy to create–I ran multiple pieces through at once!

The Home Life Bundle is another one that just looks great with this technique–it really finished off the House, without having to cut the layer and adhere it to the card.  So much fun!  

The colors are awesome, too!  1/2 Sheet Peekaboo Peach, 4 x 5 1/4" Blushing Bride, 3 7/8 x 5 1/8" Whisper White plus a scrap.  Ink colors are Peekaboo Peach, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz. ADORABLE!!
