3D Embossing Folder 2 Ways | AmyR Christmas 2020 Series #18

[@buffalban]

Amy - Another set of beautiful cards. A beautiful combo of embossing, oxide inks and desert storm card stock. Loving the layering of inks for the inside sentiment makes everything come together. Love, love, love.

[@wordscrafter]

I watched this again. Because trees. And winter. Love.

[@keliannadams4368]

So pretty. Love the brayer technique.

[@debiv7834]

Super pretty cards! Love the craft paper and these colors!❤️🎄

[@barbarashikiar6]

Beautiful card. Santa would be very proud.

[@terrie1226]

Great cards especially the ones that you used the brayer......well done as always and TFS Amy....Happy Holidays

[@susanbyers7523]

Love the ones you added the color to the folder. All the cards are very pretty

[@trudievick2359]

Gorgeous card. Love how you used the cardstock to add substance to the card. BTW, the tip you gave on a video about altering an envelope to fit the card.....PRICELESS tip. Works like a charm. Thanks for sharing both the tip and this card.

[@christabeard5128]

These are beautiful. I like both styles of cards.

[@monicaschalk4951]

These cards are AMAZING! I love how you lightly dabbed the trees with the white ink to make them pop. And of course...the splatters and bling!! Beautiful and so inspirational. Thank you!!!

[@tblevins1203]

I love how these cards turned out. The inking with the brayer looked so good and I really liked how the little bit of white ink over the trees really made them stand out. I say this every time, but I just love watching your process. Thanks for sharing all your talent and inspiring us all!!

[@PrairiePaperandInk]

Just beautiful...I always forget about my embossing folders and they create such wonderful images...especially when you ink them like you did with the brayer.

Amazing cards 🥰 I love your techniques, and your card designs ❤ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx

[@KellyJelly9976]

watching this vid in 2024 and these creations are amazing!!!

[@charnesch4274]

Adding the white pigment ink to the raised trees was such a good plan! Love how the turned out. The multi-coloured inside sentiment is a winner for sure!

[@cindyhenry1410]

Terrific!! I love your channel because you have so many tips and ideas, you explain things so well, but mainly because your style is so similar to mine (the shimmer and splatters and bling!! Oh my!) I was finally able to order that embossing folder too! Yay!! TYFS ❤️🦋💜

[@Cards4Cancer]

I really love the white ink you touched on the embossed trees. It absolutely is a game changer.

[@rhondacesana2221]

Both cards beautiful but the one with color - wow!!! So excited to try!

[@carlajohnson8574]

They turned out very nice. Thanks

[@kristinevencel2898]

I absolutely adore these cards!!!!! I have the ink colors and a different embossing folder that might work for this technique. Thank you !!,!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@cheri6905]

Beautiful cards, Amy!! I love that embossing folder - it's out of stock everywhere..... oh well, it's definitely popular! I love watching your tutorials - fun to watch but you always impart so much helpful information, too!

[@PrairiePaperandInk]

it can't be out of stock everywhere - the only place to get it is SSS - it's an exclusive to their brand. I linked to it in my supplies and it was in stock when I posted this video and still in stock as of typing this :)

[@cheri6905]

@@PrairiePaperandInk Thanks, Amy...... yes, I plan to get it soon, but it's on the 'back-burner' until the holidays are over..... I know you understand!! Do your kids like to craft with you..... especially at Christmas-time?

[@jcparkins]

Beautiful cards! I love the splatter and the way you applied the ink to the embossing folder. I always forget my brayer.

[@mycraftynook5266]

Wowzer, these card are gorgeous. I love using embossing folders. What a wonderful wintry look, tfs❤

[@yvonnejeanneret6548]

Dear Splatter Queen - try using a kitchen splatter screen ($1 at Dollar Tree). It’s that screen with a handle you put over a frying pan so you don’t get grease splattered on your stove. Spread some paint in the middle of the screen and then tap over your paper. Makes a lot of nice splatters and its much more controlled (doesn’t fly everywhere). I learned that in my watercolor class. Happy Splattering!!! And I love your videos, thanks for sharing.

[@PrairiePaperandInk]

hmmmmmm I may have to try that at some point - thanks!

[@PhyllisMiller2]

So pretty..now I need to go look through my embossing folders....

[@janevonvoros8786]

Yep, I finally bought a brayer. I got the Speedball after researching other options even though it was more expensive. I figured I would invest in a tool that was a bit more expensive but actually works and saves a lot of frustration. Learned this the hard way from investing in way too MANY cheap kitchen tools and then finally having to buy the pricier one after all because it worked. As they say, buy the best that you can afford. LOL :) Being over 50, I can say that I wish I had done the same earlier on in life.

[@PrairiePaperandInk]

you're 100% right - I always recommend the "good" (and yes usually more expensive) tools because I've already wasted so much time and money on the cheaper ones. SO. MUCH. MONEY. WASTED. When I started card making though I was so young with young kids and literally no money for hobbies. Looking back though I would have saved money in the long run by getting the better tools etc but we all live and learn!

[@julies.6271]

Lovely cards Amy!

[@cassandras1688]

I really love the brayered cards. So beautiful. TFS

Love these! I’m a newbie and love trying new ideas, but mine never turn out right. ☹️ but I learn new things like the color on the embossing folder! You do such awesome work! Oh and I have the brayer tool but didn’t know what it was for!

[@grayhare628]

Wow! Beautiful! I have that exact same Brayer, and it's probably just as old as yours!

[@PrairiePaperandInk]

haha if it looks like mine then yup - they have a newer handle now but I couldn't even say when that upgrade happened. My brayer has to be at least 10-12 years old lol (and I'm SO glad I kept it) 🤪

As always you are the best! I have been too scared to try my embossing folders but I am going to give it a try. Wish me luck!

[@PrairiePaperandInk]

have fun and just play with them - I did that when I first got them and just running them through the machine with card stock got ideas rolling lol

[@juliel1565]

These are so elegant looking! I tried the ink on the embossing folders a couple weeks ago and did not work. The brayer is the trick I need! Enjoy your videos so much Amy!

[@PrairiePaperandInk]

yessss a brayer makes a HUGE difference - tho possibly applying ink directly to the folder and then lightly misting it with water might help - but the brayer is the trick I found that I like the best

[@aliceadler8658]

Such lovely cards, Amy R!!! You never fail to amaze!!! ♥️🎄💚

[@donnawalker3910]

I did some splattering on a project the other day and thought of you : ) Love the tip to use a brayer to add color to the embossing folders! I'm off to the craft room.

[@lorikalmeyer3501]

I have the same brayer and have yet to use it. Now I’ve got a use for it! Thank you!! Question when you brayered the card panel and you put it into the embossing folder, did you run it through the spellbinder tool? Love the cards and the shinier and sparkly the better. Love your videos-thanks so much.

[@PrairiePaperandInk]

if I'd switched machines I would have mentioned it but no - same as the first ones I just didn't do it on camera bc I don't have the space to ink them up and run them through the machine all while in frame lol ;)

[@bumblebeeN]

Great cards! May I ask how to clean the rubber brayer? Thank you.

[@PrairiePaperandInk]

I just wiped it off - or can be washed with soap and water too depending on the ink type. It will stain with some inks but it will work just the same no matter what

[@judyconstantino7035]

How does Craft Tacky Glue compare to Gina K Connect glue, in your opinion? LOVE your creativity and thank you for posting videos so frequently!

[@PrairiePaperandInk]

different consistencies - GinaK's is a thinner glue. Both are great (I have and use both I just reach for the CT the most) so either one will work the same

[@ginahall7583]

Question: You use distilled water in your mister bottles, embellishment mousse, etc. Do you use it for watercoloring, too? Or, is it just plain tap water in your cups for clean water, and for rinsing the brushes while you're painting?

[@PrairiePaperandInk]

usually just tap water when watercoloring - it gets dumped out after so I don't worry about anything growing in it ;) same with rinsing my brushes - I just do that in the sink w tap water

[@misstasha1]

Hey AmyR. I notice you don't use the Big Shot machine anymore, do you prefer this new Spellbinders machine?

[@PrairiePaperandInk]

I haven't used a BS for years now. I prefer my Gemini for electric and the Spellbinders machines for manual (hand crank) die cutting

[@misstasha1]

@@PrairiePaperandInk WOW!!! Where have I been? What made you leave Big Shot?

[@PrairiePaperandInk]

many reasons - I broke my BS trying to die cut craft foam (like it BROKE BROKE) which was ridiculous. Then add to it the lawsuits Ellison (parent company) levied against a lot of smaller companies in the last 18months or so (you can google it - there was a rundown on Scrapbook Update) that were baseless imo (not to mention these other small companies are run by families that don't have all the $$ for the insane amounts of legal fees). Anyway - I no longer use or support that brand on my channel or in my own crafting. Just a choice I made when such a huge company decided it was a good idea to try and destroy this industry by brute force IMO

[@misstasha1]

@@PrairiePaperandInk OMGOODNESS!!! I had no idea. Thank you for educating me. No wonder I'm not seeing a lot of people use or mention big shot machines anymore. I'm googling right now.
