Embossing and Debossing together...plus another Christmas card

Hi there.  There's a fun new challenge this month at Let's Squash It...  Emboss/Deboss


The idea is to have both the embossed and debossed side of an embossing folder together on your card. 

I decided to use an edging folder to emboss and deboss on my square card - 


This is a little 4.25" square card.   I used a edger embossing folder and debossed at the top and embossed the bottom of the card.   I used a Poinsettia stamp (Kiwi Stamping Co- no longer in business) I stamped it twice and coloured with Copic markers in a dark red and a light green.  I added Spectrum Noir sparkle pen to the red petals.   After fussy cutting, I layered the two.  The sentiment is from Gina K's Holiday Tapestry.

And while I had the Holiday Tapestry set out, I did another Thumping card 

I used a slightly darker grey ink on this one.  Altenew's Grey Denim and then used Azurite (dark blue) for the thumping.  I also used the same dark blue ink to add the sentiment.  A few silver sequins to finish. 

Thanks for stopping by today.  It's been a good day!  Made two Feijoa Loaves - one for us and one to deliver to Grace and her Mum and Dad.   For those of you who don't know what a Feijoa is....


they are a fruit... we have two trees and this was three days worth.  They are a very perfumed sweet fruit.  A bit of an acquired taste - one I love!   As does our Princess.  She loves going out the back to where the trees are and check if there is any fruit.  It drops of the tree when it's ripe.

Two beauties, Dawn - love the embossed/debossed borders for your gorgeous poinsettia and the pretty thumped swirl on card two!! Can't believe I never got any feijoa when I was in New Zealand - you'll have to serve it when I get to visit you someday!!

I saw your card ahead of mine at Let's Squash It. So glad I did...not only did I get to see a beautiful creation but I learned about feijoas, of which I had never heard!

Two gorgeous creations! Lovely designs, both! How fabulous a haul your feijoas are too. I might need your recipe, as our little feijoa tree is producing a few fruit too. Nothing as amazing as this haul though! I missed feijoas when we lived in London, I adore them! So I'm super excited that this property has a little tree! Hugs, Wends xoxo
