Let's Squash It is a great new challenge blog just started this month. It's is encouraging you to get those under used Embossing Folders out and use them to make a card. As I have shed loads of these pushed away in a cupboard I thought what a great idea to get them out and play. The first challenge is Geometric and Metal so this diamond shaped trellis design should fit the bill perfectly, I ran the mirri card through the embossing folder, added a little ribbon to the middle, a Heartfelt Creations flower that I already had made. I then popped onto some matching card, the sentiment was already made using the same card that I mounted onto, I had used some holographic mirri card for the It's your Birthday. Although silver it's picked up the colour of the matting giving it a bluey/lilac colour. While making this I suddenly remembered a Birthday that I had forgotten, so now this card is winging its way through the post.
Thanks for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

A super card Sue, a fabulous embossing folder - I think most of us have one or two embossing folders sitting neglected in our stash, I know I certainly have!

Super card sue. I think we are all guilty of having a stash of embossing folders hidden in our craft rooms. I think this new challenge will encourage a bit more use of them. Hugs Mrs A.
