ScrapMart: Friends

With Spellbinders™ M-Bossabilities™ Enchanted folder, I created a card using the letterpress technique - a favorite technique. This time I used it as a background to give my card a touch of elegance.

Friends by Margie Higuchi
Supplies - Cardstock: The Paper Company (white) and American Crafts (green); Stamp: JustRite Stampers (Your Special Day Medallion Labels set and JB-10025 Nested Oval Medallion Labels dies); Ink: Ranger Ink's Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Peeled Paint); Pins: Maya Road; Bling: Want2Scrap; Ribbon: Offray; Dies: Spellbinders Paper Arts (Grand Calibur Die Cutting and Embossing Machine, S5-031 Fancy Tags Three and ES-005 Enchanted); Tool: Scor-Pal; Adhesive: ScraPerfect (The Best Glue Ever) and SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVE BY 3L (3D Foam Squares)

I swiped the ink across side B design (remember with Spellbinders M-Bossabilities, you get TWO DESIGNS - LOVE that!!). Then I carefully placed a piece 4 1/2 x 5 1/2" of white cardstock...just enough to cover the design.

If you have using Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Die Cutting and Embossing Machine, you will need a Raspberry Plate (D Plate/Adapter Plate) for all embossing folders.

I used the junior plates as I had only one product to use and it was so much quicker...definitely recommend this set for small projects. See my post on Scrap-Mart: Spellbinders Junior Plates Are Available for detailed info.

After I letterpressed, trim the cardstock 4 x 5 1/4" to fit on a A2 card and inked the edges. Next I stamped the sentiment and cut/embossed the Oval Medallion Labels #2 (the smallest die is #1) over the sentiment. Assembled with 3D Foam Squares and Nestabling. Adhered everything as shown. A second look...
