Inlaid Embossing technique - One Hour Card Class 064 - OHCC064

Punches: 1-3/4”, 1-3/8”, 1-1/4”, ¾”, ½”, 1” circles.

I cut circles as follows:

Ruby Red: 1-3/8”, 1-1/4”, ¾”; Old Olive: ¾”, ½”; Turquoise: 1”, 1-1/4”; Bermuda Bay: 1-3/8”; Pacific Point: 1”; Hello Honey: ¾”, ½”, ½”.

Before adding the phrase, run the panel through the Elegant Dots embossing folder with the circles facing the logo of the embossing folder. 

Add the sentiment with dimensionals. 

Stamp a phrase from the Birthday Blossoms stamp set on Turquoise cardstock with Ruby Red ink.  Punch with the 1-3/4” circle punch.  Adhere to inside of card.
