Whether you love heat embossing or dry embossing, there are so many different ways to create with these wonderful techniques. You will be visiting with our wonderful Design Team Members as they share their projects and ideas to help inspire you to create your own wonderful creations.

I love embossing, so I decided to combine heat embossing with dry embossing to create my card design. For this card I chose the Love & Happiness Bundle which includes the beautifully detailed Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder, which also includes coordinating dies. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the Celebrating You stamp set with Gold embossing to add an elegant touch to the design.

This pretty card design can be used for a variety of occasions. I had considered using one of the sentiments from the Love & Happiness stamp set from the bundle, but decided instead to use the Celebrating You stamp set. The card front was embossed and the heart die cut using the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder and I attached it to the Very Vanilla cardstock layer with Stampin' Dimensionals. For the Very Vanilla heart I die cut and embossed it and placed it inside the heart opening of the card front. After heat embossing the sentiment with Gold embossing powder onto the label, I attached it to card front across the Very Vanilla heart with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. To embellish the card design, I added a flower to each end of the label using die cut flowers from the Blushing Bride Designer Series Paper and added leaves die cut from Soft Sea Foam cardstock. I used Basic Pearl Jewels to create the centers of the flowers and added three of the smallest pearls to embellish the Very Vanilla embossed heart.
