I used some of the products from the Naturally Eclectic Suite from the Annual Catalogue to create a sweet Friendship Card. Using a suite of coordinating products is my favourite way to create. Not only does everything match, which is important for a compulsive matching crafter like myself, but it's also effortless! For example, I love how the imagery in the Oh So Eclectic stamp set follows through into the Eclectic Layers Thinlits Dies and are also repeated in the Naturally Eclectic Designer Paper...

The background of my Friendship Card is embossed with the Layered Leaves 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (say that ten-times fast!). This embossing folder gives a really deep impression and works well with the leaf imagery in the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper. To continue this theme, I have also used one of the three embossing dies from the Eclectic Layers Thinlits to add a leaf impression over the sentiment...

The embossing dies are used the same way as standard dies but, instead of die-cutting, it impresses a gorgeous embossed design. The Eclectic Layers Thinlits have three embossing dies: a spray of leaves (used on the card above), a segmented heart (used on the You're So Lovely Card) and a flower stamen. Here are the embossing dies in the Eclectic Layers Thinlits...

There's a nice surprise inside this card... a cute gift card popup! The popup was made using matching Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper, plus the Envelope Punch Board to create a cute 2" x 3-1/2" envelope from Night of Navy card stock - perfect for credit card-sized vouchers!

Envelope Punch Board (133774) - $39.00
