Hello friends!
I am absolutely delighted to share some projects with you.
Today is the Spellbinders Cut and Emboss Blog Hop.
I love these Embossing Folders as they leaves such a clean and crisp embossed image.
Even better, these folders CUT the paper through part of the embossing!

For my first project, I am using
Of course, you can use white or color card stock with this embossing folder and you are good to go either way. I also love the idea of cutting the dry-embossed images out and embellish however you want. Sky is the limit!
There may be other ways of coloring the images, but I find this method easy and effective.
Since I don't have This Blending Tool, I thought of using the following method.
💡Ding---> 1. use white foam, cut two pieces out and glue 2-3 pieces together
2. adhere the white foam onto acrylic blocks (use clear adhesive tape, if necessary)
3. ink up edges with Distress Oxide to add colors
4. use more foam for various colors as desired
5. peel off the foam tape from the acrylic block when finished
6. discard/save foam, clean acrylic blocks
Note: I thought of this "method" myself. 😁
I find it easy to do and inexpensive. Hope you can give this a try!
Here is another version of the same technique with a different Embossing Folder.
Baroque Filigree Cut and Emboss Folder
from: Spellbinders
In this close-up, you can the the embossed details with the shiny copper paper.
The sentiment is part of the dies from "Miss You Swirl" Die.
It takes some practice to color the small images with the foam tape.
I did all the coloring in front of TV and that worked out so nicely! 😀
Be patient, too. If you make some unwanted smudges, cover the spots with sequins and drops (like I did here!). NO one will ever know.

I also did some embossing with the envelopes. It is the EASIEST thing to decorate your envelops. Imagine all the personalized touches with the wedding invites!!?
You definitely will get your money's worth!
I simply put the flaps in between the die cut plates and voila!
I hope this post gives you some ideas on these amazing embossing folders.

Yes, Virginia you are one smart cookie. Love your tip on using the foam for coloring. I am definitely going to give it a try. Your cards are so wonderful. I can't wait to try these folders.
Oh my gosh...those envelopes are soooo beautiful. And the coloring technique on those cards is lovely. Thanks for your idea of making a DIY applicator! Your cards are pretty...and I certainly can't wait to order myself some of these beautiful cut/embossing folders.
You had me at the oxide colouring but the envelopes won my heart and made me want to purchase these embossing/die cut folders. Totally love your DIY foam applicator and intend to try that one out, but think I'll use my old wood blocks that I couldn't dispense with once I had taken the stamps off them. Yippee recycle heaven! Your cards are absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
Lovely cards, your coloring is fantastic. The envelope flapsare great, guess I will be doing that to some of my cards soon !!!
Gorgeous-ness!! Love these beautiful cards, Virginia! And, your tip for coloring is so smart. The envelopes are absolutely breathtaking, too.
Virginia, we can always count on you to come up with beautiful inspiring cards! I wondered when I first saw your colouring using inks on the raised portions how you did it so well, as if I was using a blending tool, even a finger dauber, I'd have ink in places it was never intended to go. What a great tip you gave!! Not to forget to mention the awesome looking envelopes you created. You are truly talented!
WOW! Your cards look so elegant!
I am drooling over your beautiful projects Virginia! I love your idea of die cutting the envelope flap!!! Thanks for sharing.
I love the beautiful coloring here, but am having a bit of a challenge getting the mental picture of your foam 'tool'. May I pretty please request a short video of the construction and using of your invention. (I love creative solutions to the "I don't have that" dilemna.) And envelope flaps!!! You are a genius and these are the perfect touch. Thank you, real big!
I love the detail you achieved with the inks. The idea of the envelopes was genius. I will definitely use that for my cards. I can't wait to get these folders.
Fabulous results on
your cards and love
the use on the envelopes

I love your cards! The idea of using foam to color only the ridges of the embossing is brilliant. I have to give it a try. And embossing your envelope flaps, another ingenious idea. Thank you for the inspiration.
