Both my Stamp group and the Let's Squash it challenge blog has using embossing folders doing any technique you want.
I went with embossing this snowman and then sanding it to showcase the embossed area. Can you believe I have used another 6x6 paper pack again, I do have a few small pieces left but they went into my scraps pile, to be used up with die cuts.
I added some stickles to the ornament and hearts on the snowman.
- Sizzix - Christmas set 655841 Embossing folder
- My Mind's eye - Lost and Found Christmas paper
- Platinum - Stickles
- Starform - Silver Merry Christmas sticker colored w/marker
My second card I swiped the background with white ink after embossing and cut the embossed image out with an oval die and sanded that too.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Embossed cards always look that little bit lovelier. Fabulous snowman. I rather love the serene feeling of the second card; 'tis so pretty.
Stunning cards and gorgeous embossing folders and colouring.
So beautiful
Both of your cards are really sweet Connie! That embossed snowman is adorable!

Both cards are lovely! I like how you did the snowman card up in green for something different, and the sanding/ink swiping really makes them "pop!"
Both of these emboss folders are wonderful and I love the colors and layout on the top card. Nicely done on both cards.
Both cards are so nicely done. You are inspiring me to get out my embossing folders.
I think I forgot to tell you that I received your beautiful card in the mail thank you so much. It's really cute.
Ooh, these are pretty. Love that oval embossed snowman scene and the big jolly snowman too. Gorgeous cards and folders. Thanks for joining the fun at Let's Squash It! Happy New Year. Hugz
