@@thepowerofacard2227 I mostly use the black or Timber brown. Now that I've seen your video, I will try out others. A few years ago, I did a Journal cover where I cut up a piece of cardboard the same size as the journal cover (with the foil already attached) put each piece through a different embossing folder, then coloured each piece with different colours of Stazon, and of course, put it all back together on the cover.. It was very beautiful. I don't go to quite that much work these days, but this has reminded me of the project. Sorry for the long reply. 😄

The song is Joy to the World and it's written for a 4 part choir to sing but can also be played on piano/organ or harp. Thanks for the video. Funny I bought a roll of adhesive aluminum tape from the hardware store just the other day for this very purpose! I bought a 2.5" roll as that was all I saw.

[@shireetropix6360]

I am on the east coast. You have SU's permission to use the embossing folder on any card you make and most people wouldn't know what the song was. If it helps any, the card on the website is upside down so neither did they I guess!@@thepowerofacard2227 😭😲

​@thepowerofacard2227 I love this technique, I need to use it more often. Tfs your cards! But, I don't think it would bad at all to use this folder on non-Christmas cards& projects. I haven't seen many embossing folders with songs on it. Just the music notes gives a suggestion that it is musical theme, no matter what it sounds like.☺️ I have cut up a pieces of scrapbook paper that has notes on it, have no idea what the song is, I just wanted to make embellishments that have notes on them, to make cards for the musical people in my life.😊 Better than cutting up actual music sheets.

Welcome to my channel Gloria! I don’t have a video of that but I will try to incorporate that soon.
