Forever Gold Simple Cards: Annual Catalogue Sneak Peek

Not sure what I like more: the Forever Gold laser cut or the Greenery embossing folder
I love both!  Used here with the new Just Jade In-Colour

Wow - I just love this Forever Gold Laser Cut Specialty Paper!!  It's amazing!  Why? Well, I'm glad you asked! 

• One side is gold - irresistable for a magpie like me!
• The other side is white - sooo versatile: I can use it white or I can add colour of my choice! Wow!
• The designs are BEAUTIFUL!  And, again, very versatile - lots of designs.
• Best of all .... no cutting required!  Just pop them out (very easily) and they're ready to use!

The Forever Gold Laser Cut Specialty Paper makes card making soooo simple!

I'm still hung up on the shiny gold side at the moment!

I created lots of cards in no time flat and had fun on the way!

All I did was add a little gold heat embossing but even that's not absolutely necessary!

Greenery Embossing Folder, Forever Gold Laser Cut Specialty Paper, Forever Fern Trim

Now let's talk about the Greenery Embossing Folders.
There are two in the pack (2 different patterns) as they're smaller than normal - they measure 6 1/4" x 3 3/8" (15.9cm x 8.6cm) - perfect for embossing a strip, edge or a smaller piece of card.
But I wanted to use it over my entire card front piece.  Good news:  it's really easy to enlarge the pattern!

• Run it through the first time
• Move the card over inside the folder, ensuring that at least one row of pattern is nicely lined up (I find this helps me keep the pattern going straight
• Before running through the embossing/cutting machine a second time, ensure that you place the plate on top so that it doesn't reach the edge of the embossing folder (to avoid ending up with a ridge and a flattened bit) - see my photos below.
• This method works really well with any embossing folder with a repeating pattern like this.
