Tattered Lace - Gatefold Embossing Folders

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

The weekend is here. It is hard not to feel subdued after the awful events that unfolded in Paris last night. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.

I will be crafting later I have another Tattered Lace Deadline. We have been out and done some Christmas shopping, life goes on.

Yesterday there saw a new release of  some Tattered Lace Gatefold Embossing folders. They sold out after the first show on Create and Craft.  I am sure they will be back in stock soon. There are four embossing folders altogether, I was sent one with its matching die, I made a few samples for the shows.

I am rather proud of this card mainly because I actually used my Brushos to make the back ground. The embossing folders emboss nicely and there is a matching die to cut them out. I used it to make a hill. I used the other die I was sent to make flowers. 

I have a bit of a confession that I didn't use the embossing folder in the way it was intended. You can actually make a complete gatefold card with it Rossella Cottrell demonstrated this on Create and Craft. I just embossed single sheets and cut it out with the matching die. I love the curvy shape. 

I put two of the cut outs together to cover the front of this gate fold card. I  this invitation would be easy to adapt to any colour scheme. 

This is a tiny pizza box style box I found the instructions on the internet. I trimmed down the embossed cut outs to cover the box. 

Here are my samples all together. 

I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend. We all have a lot to think about. 

Happy Crafting
