33! Yes 33 New Darice Folders from Crafter's Companion!

Oh WOW WOW WOW!!!!

33 Brand New Darice Embossing Folders have launched today!

I received 3 of them in the post and created 3 cards with 2 of the sets! 

My first one is using the Flowers folder. I used Backing Paper from the Paintbox Poppets CD, inked around the edges with some distress inks and matted and layered onto some Core-dinations card stock. Next I used my embossing folder onto Centura Pearl Card and cut it into 3 panels and then inked around the edges again. Next I added a butterfly from the Die'sire range and used a die from the Ornamental Oval Frame set for my sentiment.  Added pearls and "Thank You" stamp from my stash.

 

 

My next 2 cards are made from the same set, Nature which is actually a set of 3 folders!

 

I used this folder 5 times onto Black Magic Core'dinations card stock to create a larger picture and matted and layered onto yellow and black card.  I then used a die from the Die'sire Tags 1 set and used the "Thinking of You" stamp from the Timmy Tiptoes stamp plate and then finished off with glitter!

 

 

This card is using the other 2 folders from the Nature set.

 

 I used Centura Pearl card, embossed with my folder at the top and bottom and then coloured over using my Speccies!

The colours I used are:

JG1, JG2, LG3, LG4, IB1, IB2, IB3 & BT8

 

Next I simply layered up onto black and shimmer card. I then used a die from the Die'sire Waltz Frame set and used the "Relax" stamp from one of the Mulberry Wood stamp plates and then finished off with gems!

 

 

 

Hope you love this new range as much as I do  and please visit the Crafter's Companion website to see other design team samples as they have done some stunning work.

Thank you so much for stopping by, please feel free to leave a comment as I love to read them!
