Secret Garden Birthday

This lovely card was created with the Secret Garden stamp set and the matching Framelits.  While the greeting on this one is "Happy Birthday," it would also make a lovely Mother's Day card.  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

  2. This is beautiful. I just made it myself. I too liked how you used the embossing folder. How did you not smash (for lack of a better word) the first emboss on the second run through the big shot? Thanks.

    1. Anna,
      I just lined up the bottom of the embossing folder with the bottom of the paper for the first run. For the second time through, I just lined up the bottom of the folder with the top edge of the design I had just embossed. It leaves a perfect space for your greeting that way.
