I have discovered a little trick that I use to keep the ridges from appearing on your card when you use the smaller folders. I put the card stock in the folder that I want embossed....then I use another folder and just lay it on top of the card stock and run it through the Cuttlebug machine like normal. No ridges will appear. I discovered this sort of by accident.......don't you just love it when an accident turns out to be a great idea!!!!!!!! ;)
For this card I made I used the border folder on the edges and then laid a regular sized folder on top to cover the rest of the card stock.
Here is my card and matching envelope.
I used my new Core'dinations cardstock, K&Co pp, Cuttlebug Border with Love folder, Spellbinders curved rectangles and oval scallops.
Very nice! Love the matching envelope! Great job on the challenge. I can't get the CB borders to work without 'denting' my cardstock above and below the embossed area....sigh!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and envelope Linda, and thanks for the great tip with the border folders, I'll have to try that one out! I love the pretty colours you've used here and the flap on the envelope looks great! Thanks for joining in this weeks challenge at www.cuttlebugchallenge.blogspot.com!
