CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop - Embossing Folders

 Hello and Welcome to our CTMH Featured Products Blog Hop

This week our featured product is Embossing Folders.  We have 15 different Embossing folders.




If you have just joined us you can start here and continue on, as this is a circular hop or if you get lost along the way you can look at the end of my post for the complete list.  If you came here from Corrina's Blog you are in the right place.

Now on to my project.  

I have made this layout using the Penelope paper pack,  White Daisy, Thistle, Pear cardstock, Thistle, Pear, Crystal Blue, Canary and Pixie Ink Pads, Confetti, Confetti Stars, DiamondScallopChevronQuatrefoil and Dot Embossing Folders.



 I have used a few different techniques with the embossing.  For the eggs and the title I inked the top of the embossing folder and then ran the paper through the embossing folder.  What a fun look this is.  The Pear layer of the double mat is just embossed.  The Thistle mats are embossed and sanded to bring out the white core of the paper.

Thank you for checking out my project.  If you would like to purchase our featured product or any additional supplies you can buy them here.

If you enjoyed my project please comment below as we love feedback!  I am the end of the blog hop but you can start again at Annette.  Make sure to check out her amazing work featuring this same product.
