I'm the host for Trend Week at Just Us Girls and I've chosen to use an embossing folder.
When I thought of this as a trend, I had in mind to color an embossing folder with ink and then transfer the color to my cardstock. After several tries with not much success I went an entirely different way.
I used a Gina Marie die to make a quilt and then a quilting folder on it. Here's a close-up so you can see the 'stitching'.I love a warm cozy quilt and thought the Altenew sentiment went well with this paper one.I hope you'll give a try with different techniques using embossing folders but either way we'd love to see your card in the gallery. Maybe the Design Team's cards will inspire you. Take a look.

Oh Bobby, not only do I love your choice of 'fabrics' that embossing really did make it look like one of your beautiful quilts!

Well this is just genius. I love the colors and patterned papers you used, and then embossing the whole thing is perfect. I can't stop looking at it, so beautiful!!

Using the EF to finish off your quilt was a terrific idea! This made for a beautiful card!
Love the gorgeous colours and patterns Bobby. Great embossing to give it that lift.
