Those clever people at Spellbinders have come up with a clever idea - an embossing folder that embosses and cuts small details in one pass. For the first card, I inked the embossing folder with distress inks before running it through my machine, embossing it onto white card...I love the white lacy look, and the delicate little cut out centers of the flowers
The last card was left white, but I cut diagonally across the blank space, and backed the whole piece with a gold foil - perfect for a golden wedding card. I like the way the gold shows off the delicate cut outs in the flowers
So the children are all back at school for the new academic year - including a special first day for our family as Max has moved up to his secondary school
Good luck Max! His cousin Kiki is getting excited about her half term school trip - to New York! When did this upgrade in school trips start? When I was a kid I seem to remember getting excited about going on a bus to Tintern Abbey (which disappointingly was just a ruined heap of old stones when we got there). But these days, not only do they hop on transatlantic flights, they also have enticing offers of ski trips to the French Alps. I feel for the parents, it must be a lot of pressure for them, I'm rather thankful that the fashion for exotic trips hadn't really started when mine were at school. If any teachers are reading this, I don't really recommend Tintern Abbey as an alternative by the way (although it may have disintegrated altogether by now, it's a long time since I was at school!)
Like the three different cards using the same embossing folder! Max is growing up to be a handsome young man and yes school has changed quite a bit in the last years.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are lovely with the new folders, I had not seen this idea at all
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Enfys. I love how you've used the lovely embossing folder. xx
ReplyDeleteThese cards are beautiful! Max is so grown up in his school uniform, so handsome! I can't believe school trips are transatlantic in the UK. My poor son has only been on one trip out of 10 years of schooling! Our district isn't big on class trips which is a shame if you ask me. Best of luck to Max in his 1st year at secondary school.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love your cards Enfys ... all three of them. The delicate lacy look is gorgeous. I do belive that the cut and emboss folders have been out for a while now, but I haven't seen any as pretty as these. Max sure looks handsome in his school uniform, and so proud to begin the next level of his education. How do they grow up so quickly? I am in shock that a school trip includes a transatlantic excursion. WOW ... it's a far cry from when I was in school. the best school trip I recall is when we all bussed out to a forest to plant little fir trees. It was fun, but going to NYC would have been a trip of a lifetime! I hope it is a spectacular adventure for her.
ReplyDeleteCards are lovely. I am always looking for new embossing ideas.
ReplyDeleteIt is unbelievable how fast these children grow up. Wish they would slow down a bit so we could stop aging so fast.lol
Beautiful cards En. I need to check out those folders! When I was at school, our senior trip was a day at a local amusement park! And we all loved it! Thanks, hugs Jess
ReplyDeleteFab cards Enfys - a reminder to me that I do have that folder and seem to forget to use it!
ReplyDeleteVerry Nice I like This Battery Me mAh क्या है mAh का Full Form क्या होता है ?
ReplyDeleteMy ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542
