Hey there, crafty friends! Ready to add some extra wow to your handmade cards without breaking a sweat? Today, we’re diving into a super easy rubber stamping technique I’m calling embossed patterns. Whether you’re making festive Christmas cards or sweet Valentine’s creations, this technique is perfect for impressing your friends and family while keeping the process fun and stress-free.

I’ve got three stunning sample cards to inspire you. We’ll start with a festive Christmas design featuring the Snowy Wonder stamp set and Snowy Scenes patterned paper. Then, we’ll switch gears to a Valentine’s Day card with a cozy twist using the New Hugs for Love stamp set and the same papers. Finally, I’ll show you how to take the embossed patterns technique to the next level with some ink blending for a gorgeous emboss resist effect.
