They’re both nice. I think it’s a great technique.

Beautiful cards, Carrie. I like black and white together.
As for gluing the panels on crooked, we've all done that.😊 And, I'm sure it's harder for you because you're not able to lean over your project to see better.
We're also having beautiful weather here in Iowa. ❤

Thanks so much Dee. Hope this lovely weather will last 💕

This might sound crazy, but have you ever tried re-inking the embossing folder and running it back through again for more color? I've never done it, but I'd bet you could, because it would be easy to sit it onto the debossed side that's raised and maybe tape it in place.. As for the small strips, I use a t ruler or a straight piece of cardboard and lay the strip against it to hopefully make it straight, but even then, the sentiments I get that aren't red rubber, still sometimes aren't straight. And boy can I relate to not getting my fronts on straight sometimes, and now I just either try to trim off the uneven part or send it as is...you know my rule, if you get a card from me and you see all the issues with it, you're looking too close, hahaha Great cards!

Sounds like a great idea Sandy. I Will definitely give that a try and thanks for watching and your support 💕

Hi Julian. It was a set I ordered from Temu a few months back. Very good price and they seem fine. Thanks for watching.
