It's mid-week, and that means it's time for a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!
We have a fun theme this week - emboss it! You can use embossing folders, as the Design Team is doing, or heat emboss, or use embossing paste, your choice!
I love the added dimension that an embossing folder can give to a card, so I had a fun play this week and made you 2 cards!
This first one uses one of the Sizzix Ornate Frames folders, along with the Simon exclusive Large Heart Doily die. Just for fun, I emossed on some woodgrain cardstock, and love the extra little richness it gives!
For my next card I wanted to sand the embossing to bring out a 2nd color, and chose a Core'dinations Whitewash cardstock with a aqua reverse.
My embossing folder again is by Sizzix, called Vines, part of a duo set. I separated the panels with a scalloped edge border to hold my sentiment, and then added some die-cuts: some Sizzix Sizzlits foliage and Simon's Leanna and Chrissy butterflies.

I remember that I learned about dry embossing from you ... you hadn't gotten a Cuttlebug yet and used a rolling pin! I went right out and bought a Cuttlebug because I loved what you did with that embossing folder!! And now look at this masterpiece!!
Those are fabulous! I need to use my embossing folders more often, they are pretty neglected these days.
I love your cards! The embossing, the colors...the butterfly...all of it looks wonderful!
stunning examples Lin. I love embossing of all sorts.
Love your both your gorgeous cards
luv
