If you subscribe to the Paper Smooches newsletter, you would’ve seen this card on release day. It features the Flirty Frames stamp set and also uses the Duo Die 1 and Frame 1 dies. Both cards in this post use the emboss resist technique with distress inks. I first and second generation stamped the balloons with Memento Luxe pigment inks. To finish, I added some enamel dots and wood veneer stars.

My second card features the other frame stamp from Flirty Frames with the Duo Die 2 die. This card features darker colours with a more masculine feel. The Green Apple card base from Simon Says Stamp highlights the lightest colour in the frame.

I heat embossed this one with gold embossing powder and misted the frame with water after applying distress inks for a majestic watercoloured look. The sentiment was heat embossed, also in gold, directly on to the steel grey cardstock panel.

These are gorgeous, LOVE the watercoloring and gold embossing on that second one, a stunner!
Love your cards beyond words Emily. The gold embossing and colors are just AMAZING!! Superb video too!
Love the impact of the second, but I also love your shaker-less shaker (that's what the first one made me think of!). Great demonstration of the versatility of this die!
Love the distress-inked frame of the first one and the balloons, too) but also the more multi-coloured look of the second frame. Both these are really gorgeous!
Awesome creations!!! 😉

Love these cards!! And the two different looks you achieved with both frames are both stunning!! Loooooove the reds and pinks of the first one!! And the blues and greens of the second card with the gold is incredible!
Your work with these frames is spectacular Emily!
Thank You~
So EXCITED!! I Liked and I look forward to more AMAZING Inspiration!! =) Have a Fabulous Week!! =)
I just learned some great crafting tips and processes from your excellent video. I find it fascinating to watch someone else do what I do but in a different way. I am going to try drying the backside of paper to prevent curling and use a craft knife to remove stray embossing. I usually learn by trial and error so your video is really a great learning experience for me. Thanks!
