Embedded Embossing – Scrap Cards

I’ve been encouraging my club gals to use up their old paper packs instead of just pushing them to the back of the shelf.  So, in trying to give them inspiration, I will have a few blog posts showing my use of the CTMH Emporium paper pack (and many pages of bulk paper for that kit). 

The squares, strips of paper and a few butterflies were found in the kit bag, so I only had to punch the green branch and create the buttercup flowers.  I did not add any cardstock, everything (except the card bases) came out of the Emporium paper kit bag.
I glued the blue B&T paper (background and texture) and the vineyard berry CS (Card Stock)  to the chocolate CS base.  After the glue dried I used the Dot Embossing Folder (Z1924)  and embossed the card base.  I pop dotted the butterfly and glued the branch and flowers on top of the embedded embossed base.  Presto – finished card.

Followed the same basic ideas for this card.  I had punched the circles out of the brown B&T papers and thought the negative would make a nice background .

Here’s the last card for today.  I am really enjoying using up “old” paper packs.  Some of the kits seem to have a never ending supply of scraps.

Happy Crafting!
