Mixing & Matching with Embossing Folders

Typically, we choose to use embossing folders to create backgrounds on our cards. In this card making demonstration, I show you how to make your embossed card stock the focal point of your cards and how fun it is to mix and match with embossing folders for a unique look. I hope you enjoy this video replay of my September 21st Facebook Live, and then will pull out your embossing folders and put these techniques to use.
