Emboss Resist Technique Featuring Beautiful Butterflies Bundle

in Cardmaking, Sale-A-Bration on 01/24/25

Happy Friday to you!

In my last post I shared how you can create beautiful, colorful die cut pieces which is one of my favourite techniques.  If you missed it you can see it HERE.

Today, I wanted to share with you an easy technique called Emboss Resist. It’s so simple but adds that wow effect to your card. I continue to feature Stampin’ Up!’s Beautiful Butterflies Bundle.  I also added a couple of elements from the Sale A Bration Catalogue which are FREE with a qualifying order:

  • Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins
  • Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Seam Binding Ribbon
  • Toadstools Gardens Designer Series Paper

Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I want Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I wanted to make my own DIY frame for a memory keeping of our trip to Banff Alberta! I designed my frame using the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and used @stampinupofficial ‘s Scenic Adventure Bundle and Weekend Adventures collection to embellish. I also made coordinating Polaroid note cards. 

I’m obsessed at making these little Polaroid note cards and will add a couple more to my collection.

A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Cat A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Catalog design team for inviting me to be one of this month’s guest designers! I was truly honored! 

I made a card using Stampin’ Up!’s Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and paired it with the Extraordinary Flora Bundle and its coordinating Washi Tape.

I went with a fresh, summery palette of Darling Duckling, Flirty Flamingo, Strawberry Slush, and Old Olive. 

Did you know @stampinupofficial is having a  Creative Challenge this month with fresh In Colors to mix with your go-to classics?  Well my card meets the challenge… 💛

What did I use to make this card?

Full details are provided on @stampinthroughthecatalog as well as how Melody, Cindy & Kaitlyn cased some elements and made their own card designs. I love how they explained in details what element inspired them from my card. Go check it out!
