Technique Handmade Card Swap #1

This will be a monthly swap. Each month will feature a different technique that must be incorporated into your handmade card.

January technique - Dry Embossing

For this swap you will make 1 handmade card with an envelope for each partner. Your card must have dry embossing on it. You can emboss the entire card front or only a portion of it, but the embossing technique much be recognizable.The cards should be left blank so that your partners can use them sometime in the future. Minimum card size is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.

The cards needs to be of good quality, made from good quality cardstock, with time and attention put into the cards.You can use rubber stamped images, die cuts, Cricut die cuts, punches, ribbon, brads, buttons, embossing, or any other embellishments or crafty techniques to decorate your cards. The point of a handmade card is for it to be something unique and creative that you cannot buy in a store.

I want to be very clear- the card SHOULD NOT be just a printed piece of copy paper folded in half, a folded piece of paper with a sentiment written on it, a folded piece of cardstock with stickers stuck on it, a few cardboard figures scotch-taped onto the front of the card, or portions of a store-bought card cut out and stuck onto a piece of card stock. This is not the swap for you if you have never made a handmade card before, or do not have the time or experience to create a good quality card.
