Technique Squad Blog Hop - April 2024
Welcome to the Technique Squad Blog Hop! Each month we hop to share a different technique with you in hopes to inspire you to give it a try! This month the technique is "Embossed Folder Stamping".
I had never tried this technique, but it was really fun! A great way to make a background for a card. I used the Layered Florals Embossing Folder with Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop - 3 of the new In Colors coming out in May! Love how it turned out.
