New Twist on the Popular Blackout Embossing Folder Technique!
Hey friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you! I’m sharing a twist on the “blackout” embossing folder technique that is super hot right now. For my projects, I am using our Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks and our new Beaufort Floral Frame embossing folder.
I also used our Simon Says Stamp Large Happy Birthday die and Bold Birthday sentiment strips to add greetings to each of the cards.
The blackout technique gives a completely different look to your embossed designs—and by using this twist on the idea, you get to change the feel of the card by using a combination of colors. I just love it!

Nina-Marie Makes Book Making Simple with Tim Holtz’s New Release!
Happy June, friends! It’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you and this project that I am sharing features a ton of new Tim Holtz products that are SO MUCH FUN to create with! I was really excited to play with Tim’s latest Idea-ology release and I made a booklet folio with it!
The folio is so easy to decorate; I used some Large Collage Strips, Collage Paper, Postmarked stickers, some Paper Strips, and Typed Tags. I added some distressing by blending with Distress Ink. I also used Distress Crayons to add color to my folio.
This booklet folio is so much fun to customize! Watch the video below for all the details!
