This is from the stamp set I’ve mentioned a couple of times in recent posts. It is from Concord & 9th and is one I’ve had for a while and only now am inking up. I’m also still on my kick of partial embossing only this time I used a folder. As I had 2 folders that are similar and because I wanted to emboss just a part of the card I had the bright idea of cutting the folder in half. I marked it and asked my hubby to cut it for me as his tools are better. He kept one of the hinges, and I added tape for another, to ensure it stays straight. This particular folder is from CTMH. I stamped the rainbow and used some water to spread the inks into any gaps. Then I fussy cut. I added the fussy cut clouds and originally planned a different sentiment from the set but I didn’t like it as it was too big. Instead I used the one you can see. I fussy cut the edge of folded strip which is also partially scored on the back piece. It still needed something so I went over the rainbow and the clouds with opal blaze which makes it really shine. A few raindrops with some Nuvo crystal glaze and a small stamped sun finished the card. No pink on this one but I’m adding it to the Can You Handle the Pressure challenge.

Thanks Lisa – If I had tried to cut it a disaster would be the result.

Yikes! I can’t imagine cutting an embossing folder in half. I’m glad you took the plunge and did it, as it worked. I really like your card.

Sometimes an idea is worth going with and in this case having a 2nd similar folder meant no loss if the result was a throw away. That said I may look into having a few that I can cut like this as I like the flexibility of only adding the embossing in one place.

The center embossed panel is a great idea and WOW that Derek cut your folder in half. I get concerned when I snip a word stamp apart. It definitely paid off though. Very creative and that sketch half sun is pretty cool.

This is such a cool card. The half sun is a great idea. I’m getting to really like partial embossing. I might follow your example and have hubby cut one or two of my folders.
