Welcome to the very first post in my brand new "Three For..." series.
Each month I'll focus on a single paper-craft product and attempt to come up with three different ideas for using it. Hopefully I'll manage to put some of my under-utilised purchases to good use and maybe even inspire some of you to drag out your supplies and use them in new and different ways.
This month I've decided to start with a beautiful Spellbinders M-Bossabilities folder called Framed Petite Labels, which I've had for over 12 months but have only used once or twice. The folder is made with two designs and is compatible with most leading die cut machines.
The first technique I used was to apply colour directly onto the embossing folder by swiping a blue ink pad over one side. It helped to spritz the cardstock lightly with water before placing it into the folder and embossing it through my Cuttlebug.
Here are the cards I made with this technique. Remember you can use any coloured ink pad that you like, but go for a water based ink that cleans up easily... thinned acrylic paint would also work well.
I'll have a second idea and project to show you tomorrow using the same embossing folder, see you then!
