Embossing Accents | Essentials by Ellen

If you follow me, you know I’m not big on simple cards. I tend to over add and include a ton of coloring. However, sometimes you just need a quick and easy birthday card. Even then, I couldn’t resist but add a little extra on this card by using embossing powder.

All my supplies for creating this card will be listed down below (with multiple sources when available) for your curiosity and convenience. Affiliate links used when possible.

Trick for Die Cuts | Spellbinders

I never loved die cuts… I always loved coloring more. Yes, die cutting from colored cardstock makes for a super easy and quick card but it didn’t give me the dimension I get from coloring. But once I figured out that some double sided adhesives are thicker than others, I realized I could color to my heart’s desire.

Rainbow Hearts | Spellbinders

It’s been super rainy where I live and although, we’re getting breaks from the rain — there’s no such thing as rainbow raining hearts. I wish! I thought this was the perfect card to put together to brighten up anyone’s day.
