Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing

I am using the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing folder for today’s Christmas card; it is part of the Merriest Moments Bundle. You can see it in my online store or click the product photo link towards the bottom of this post.

Are you wondering, “what exactly is a” hybrid embossing folder? A hybrid embossing folder allows you to emboss and die-cut in one easy step. The Merriest Moments bundle contains a stamp set, coordinating dies, and a hybrid embossing folder. You can use the dies or the folder separately or combine them for a fantastic embossed, die-cut image.

Oh my goodness. . .this is so gorgeous!

I used the larger outline die to provide a shadow or base to the more delicate embossed die-cut in my second card. Whether you choose to add the poinsettia and leaves to your card or just the sentiment, I think you are going to fall in love with the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing folder and stamp set bundle!
