This may sound strange but one of my favorite new items in the catalog is the SUBTLE DYNAMIC TEXTURED IMPRESSIONS EMBOSSING FOLDER

The embossing folder name is EXACTLY what it is - SUBTLE, but oh what a difference it makes on your cards. It takes away that stark flatness and texturizes it almost like the textured papers Stampin' Up! used to sell.

On the dark card stock it is hard to tell in this photo, but...

Here is a close up of the embossing and seeing the card in person it really makes a difference.
This card was inspired by Joyce Whitman
What did I change up? I added the embossing.

How about this card...

Once again, it is hard to see in the photo, but trust me, the difference in person fabulous. Like I said it takes way the stark flatness to the card and gives it a subtle texture.

This card was one of the swaps that I received when I went to a local Meet & Greet with Shannon West and Cory Hancock from the home office in Utah. I wish I could remember who I swapped this card with so I could give her credit.

I changed it up by adding a different stamp to the front and the ladies will be making this card at the September Stamp a Stack classes.
