Welcome to Team Stamp It’s August Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here. This month, we focus on fall-themed cards and projects. Be sure to visit all of the participating bloggers. Leave a comment for your chance to win the Haunted Home Kit.
For today’s card, I’m using the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder Bundle from Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives offering. This stamp set and hybrid embossing folder produce some really awesome images and textures. (The hybrid embossing folder allows you to die cut and dry emboss at the same time.)
A quick note: This bundle has been extremely popular. It’s expected to be back in stock the week of September 2, 2024. Please contact me if you need help ordering or watching the inventory report for it.
And, I combine that with the heat embossing technique and a fun fold — the flip front fun fold.
