Just Us Girls #481 - Wild Card Week

This month has a fifth week, so it's Wild Card Week at Just Us Girls!  I'm the hostess for this challenge and I want everyone to dig out their embossing folders!  I have so many embossing folders and hardly ever use them, so it's time to show them some love.


Since this is the last week of the month, it's our last week with our Guest Designer Greta Hess! Thank you Greta for joining us this past month with all of your fabulous creations!  Check out the JUGS Blog to see how Greta and the rest of the Design Team have used embossing folders on their creations.


I used a Tim Holtz brick ef with Core'dinations White Wash cardstock, sanding the bricks after embossing to reveal the kraft core.  Stamped some leaves across the top and added some Altenew poppies and the Reverse Confetti sentiment banner.


The minister's wife at our church has asked everyone to decorate one cross for use on the bulletin board and here is one of the 6 I have done. This was embossed with a lattice folder and sponged with Golden Glitz ink.  Added the sentiment from Gina K and the leaf die cuts.

Now it's your turn to share your embossing folder creations with us.  You could be chosen as our next Chic of the Week, which would then make you eligible at a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.

Thanks so much for having me guest design in March! I love the simple beauty of the cross & sanding the brick folder gave a wonderful effect, Sue!

I love how you created the brick embossed background. The sanding really is different! And the cross is so pretty as well.

I love those bright red poppies, Sue, and they look wonderful on the brick wall. The cross is lovely and such a great idea.

Lovely dimension in both projects Sue! Great idea to add something more by sanding down or sponging~
