Clean and Simple Cards with Rub-On Transfers and Embossing Folders
Hello, crafty people! This is Jennifer Ingle here today, and I am so excited to be sharing these clean and simple designs with you. I created three SUPER simple cards with the absolutely gorgeous Little Leaps and Spring Blessings rub-on transfers from Spellbinders. The thing I love about rub-on transfers is that you can make stunning designs that really shine with very little work. Let me show you how!
Each card is created using both the rub-on transfers and gorgeous embossing folder designs. Let’s walk through them!
For this card, I used the Lined Circles Embossing Folder to create the background. I particularly love this embossing folder because you can create so many different looks just by changing up where you place your panel in the folder. For this card, I used the half circle to ground the image and the full one as a supporting backdrop to the fussy cut frog design. A few sequins reflect that circular feel along with the sentiment in a circle, keeping the eye focused on that image and all its cuteness!
For this design, I chose a rub-on transfer from the Spring Blessings set and paired that with the Scribbled Letter Embossing Folder. A bit of distress ink adds some dimension to the embossing whilst also giving the card a vintage feel. The rub-on image is transferred and then fussy cut and popped up for even more glorious dimension! Pairing with a perfect mat from the Spellbinders cardstock collection finished this spring beauty off perfectly.
And then we have this fun little fella! I transferred the rub-on to white cardstock and then simply die cut that in a circle. No fussy cutting required here! The Lined Circles Embossing Folder provides a strong backdrop, and then those sequins are used, yet again, to continue with the circle themes. Another great thing about rub-on transfers is that you can use them on embossed or textured surfaces. I was able to transfer the sentiment over the dry-embossed area for perfect placement!
Thank you so much for joining me today! I can’t wait to see what you create using rub-on transfers and embossing folders! If you’d like to see a couple more designs I created with this collection, be sure to visit me on Instagram!
