Embossed Floral Card & Giveaway!!!

Hi, everyone!  Thanks for stopping by!

This has been a fun week of projects and related give aways at the Design Team Blog at JoysLife.com.  For my post, I am featuring a must-have tool for any crafter. 

The stamp is from Joy's Tag You're It - Set Two. 

Can you guess what the giveaway for my post is?  

Joy has these lovely embossing folders to give to one lucky person!  

(All you have to do is leave a comment on the Design Team blog and be a follower of it!) 

Now here's how I made it:

I don't know if you noticed the surface that the ribbon sits on is flat.  I embossed the whole folder except that row.  

Here's what the folder looks like:

I made a template using 3 stacked pieces of chipboard.  How much you use will depend on the thickness.  Using an X-acto knife, remove the chipboard where you DO NOT want any embossing.  

You're ready to emboss using this Cuttlebug combination:

Plate A

Embossing folder with paper in it

Chipboard template

Plate C (mine's been well used but it's still good)

That's all there is to it!  

Be sure to go over to my post at the DT blog to get in on the drawing!
