My favourite is the green background, but the flower on the blue background is my fave! These cards are beautiful Nichol and as always, I enjoyed your videos. You speak to us like we are friends… your kind voice and helpful tips makes all your videos so informative. Thank you for all that you do to make us all better card makers. I have really learned so much from your videos! 💙💚💜 Ps My mom grew up in Everest and we live in Canada. For my entire life, I have heard my mom say roof and measure very differently than anyone here says it. I was pleasantly surprised to hear you say these words just like my 80 year old mom and hearing your video brought back so many memories of her life in Kansas.
I absolutely love your trio of floral cards, each one is beautiful but I have to admit as a purple loving gal that the purple jumped out at me just a bit more than the other two but in all they are the trifecta of beauty. I love the addition of the Foundry Wax on them, it just makes them pop. I too am loving Simons new purple inks, and was elated when they added them to the line. Simon's new embossing folder/die combos are the bomb, they really set the stage for a beautiful card. I loved that you added the layer of of acetate under your flowers. As I was watching you I thought how pretty a just a sprig of a gold foiled leaf would have been under the flower and on top of the acetate leaves but that is me, sometimes (most times) I don't know when to stop. Stunning cards, thank you so much for sharing !!!
Oh my, to choose one of them as my favourite.....I will have to say green, no blue, no purple....lol. I can't choose. These are so beautiful!! Thanks Nichol for sharing
It’s difficult to choose between the blue and the purple. These cards all turned out beautifully. I am so hooked on the embossing folders with matching dies!!! It would be nice if someone came out with masculine things like motorcycle, suit of armor or some animals. Thank you for your great videos. Keep up the good work
These cards are phenomenal and I actually gasped when I first saw them! I love the entire design and if I absolutely have to choose a favourite I'm going for the purple card! Thanks for showing an easy way to add the Foundry Wax as I definitely need to use it more often. I'm waiting for this folder to arrive from SSS and then it's all systems go in my craft room!
It great seeing how you use that wax. I usually find these products aimed at fancy mixed media and it looks so difficult to use so it’s great to see them used on more “normal” designs that we all can do.
I like the purple background best but like the flower on the green background best. I have used Lisa Horton embossing folders with dies. I'm surprised no one makes videos with those. They are nice too
Love these cards Nichol. The purple would have to be my favourite, but the others are stunning also. I have a few smaller embossing folders with dies in them, but really struggle to incorporate them with cards. Maybe I should try the larger ones. Thank you for the inspiration as always. Keep well. T x 🇦🇺
Wow, Nichol- such gorgeous color combos and card design! I'm a purple girl thru and thru for cards (and clothes, but like you, not for my decor :-) funny how certain colors have their "place") inspiring work as always, and I so appreciate your offering alternate suggestions for the current products + one's own stash as you create. Thank you!
Such amazing cards Nichol! Loving the pink and purple colors together, have to say I wasn’t that big of a purple gal either but I really like it on flowers and butterflies!! I could see me trying a purple background some day! Yes I have purchased a few of the embossing folders & dies but haven’t played with them yet! Maybe seeing these beautiful cards has inspired me to get them out and play!! Thanks for sharing!!
Yay, welcome to the Purple Side! Guess which color is my favorite 😋. Those cards are so beautiful, and you've really inspired me to head in to the craft room and finally try that amazing foundry wax ❤️
Super excited to see this video. I already have all the products except the leaves die so I’m off to order that LOL. I actually just created a thanks card and paired it with some die cut strawberries from Lawn Fawn 😊
Good morning Nichol! I love this style and all the colors too! I have the Dainty Floral embossing folder & die and also the Picnic Floral (and have ordered the heart die). This is such a great idea and creates beautiful textured cards. I hadn't thought about using the foundry wax on them but I will now! Thanks so much for all you share on your blog!!!
Beautiful cards! They are all just lovely but I’m partial to the green 😁. I haven’t tried an embossing folder with die cut but definitely will give them a try. Thanks for sharing your inspiration.
Purple is my favorite and I have not tried embossing folders that include the dies…it just seems like too much. Everything is like the whole nine yards for one stamp. The stamp, the embossing folder, the stencil and the die 🤔😬💵! 🤷🏻♀️is it just me? I love watching all of it tho 🥰 especially you Nichol ✌🏽
Pick a favorite? Really? That is similar to asking a parent to chose a favorite child!. I watched Tim Holtz commentary when the metals launched. I was intrigued. Love these cards.
Love all the cards, Nichol! I can't really pick a favorite. I do have a question about the embossing folder with dies. You mentioned die cutting first then embossing, which does make sense. I know it's an extra step, but would it be easier to emboss, die cut, then re-emboss the die cut portion? I would just think it would make it easier to line the die cut up with its place in the embossing folder. I don't have any such products, so I can't really test it out. Anyway, just curious. Thank you for sharing your wonderful artwork. Take care, & have an awesome day! :)
Question, with the foundry wax are you able to rinse out the brush you did the splatters with the wax? Wasn’t sure how easily it washes out since it dries quickly. Purple is my fave color but I really love the first one you did with the teal green and pink/purple flower. ❤️❤️
I can’t choose a favorite color, because I love them all. In my opinion, though, the three white sentiments on each card diminished the beauty of all of them. Sorry. 😢 I loved it better with only the Birthday Wishes sentiment on the front.
I love the purple background, but I think the flower on the green one is the prettiest flower. I love these folders. The butterfly is fantastic!
I like the green the most. It is softer and the flower is more of the focal point. Love that set.
My favourite is the green background, but the flower on the blue background is my fave! These cards are beautiful Nichol and as always, I enjoyed your videos. You speak to us like we are friends… your kind voice and helpful tips makes all your videos so informative. Thank you for all that you do to make us all better card makers.

Purple is always my favourite colour but all the cards look wonderful.
I thought for sure my favorite was going to be the purple one but when you showed all three together it was the green that became my favorite.
Nicole, stunning, gorgeous, beautiful cards. Purple and Blue are my two favorite colors.
Purple!!! They are all beautiful but purple is my favorite color and it is spectacular💜💜💜

Just Gorgeous! I like the fact there is not alot of paper cutting, figuring paper color and alot of embellishments. Just simple. Thanks
Gorgeous. I really love them all... so vibrant. Purple is my all time favorite color... so I'd have to say the purple background is my favorite.
The embossing folders with stencils and dies in a set are my very favourite especially Altenew’s sets.
Oh my, to choose one of them as my favourite.....I will have to say green, no blue, no purple....lol. I can't choose. These are so beautiful!! Thanks Nichol for sharing
So beautiful Nicole.
I love the purple background the best but all are beautiful!
All three cards are beautiful. I can not pick a favorite color because I like them all equally.
So pretty. I've always been drawn to blues but that purple is really pretty.
These are beautiful cards! Purple is my favorite color. ☺️
I love them all but love the colouring on the flower with the green background. Really pretty cards. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us ♥️
I love embossing folders and dies.
LOVE all of them, I can not pick a favorite 💙💜💚
Love all of them. They are all gorgeous.
Absolutely gorgeous!!!!😍😍😍😍😍
I believe my favorite is the green card. I absolutely love the flower colors on it. Great cards all around though.
Fabulous cards!!
Green is my fav So so pretty TFS 😊💚
Love the purple
Nichol, you created three beautiful cards.
The vellum leaves and that gilded golden flowers- absolutely perfect accents to these cards! Love this trio💗
these are so pretty! my eye is definitely drawn to the purple one!
Im in love with the purple background!!! But all are pretty😀❤
Beautiful cards love all but purple my favorite!
Precious cards 😍😍😍😍. Thank you Nichol 🥰

Wow these are all gorgeous I would want anyone of them. But my favorite is the purple.
Beautiful colors, gorgeous cards
These cards are phenomenal and I actually gasped when I first saw them! I love the entire design and if I absolutely have to choose a favourite I'm going for the purple card! Thanks for showing an easy way to add the Foundry Wax as I definitely need to use it more often. I'm waiting for this folder to arrive from SSS and then it's all systems go in my craft room!
I liked the first one best with the tidal pool and like you I love the foundry wax!
Lovely. Thank you.
I bought a bunch of the Lisa Horton Crafts embossing folders that have dies and also stencils. Fun Fun. The purple is my favorite.
The purple card is my favorite, followed by blue and then green.
My favorite is blue, then purple, then green!
It great seeing how you use that wax. I usually find these products aimed at fancy mixed media and it looks so difficult to use so it’s great to see them used on more “normal” designs that we all can do.
Glad it was helpful!
Lovely cards. Thanks.
🇨🇦
These cards is beautiful 😍. I mostly love the blue, and I have never try a embossing folder with dies. Love you using the gilded foundry wax.
Wow, absolut Beautiful. Really pretty cards.
Amazing as usual I think purple is my favorite but they are all amazing
My favorite is the blue card followed closely by the green card. I’m not a big flower card fan but these are beautiful!
So very pretty!
These are gorgeous!!
Really pretty
Love these cards! I just ordered this folder/die set yesterday and can't wait to get it. That was a great tip on cutting first and then embossing.
Beautiful cards
I like the purple background best but like the flower on the green background best. I have used Lisa Horton embossing folders with dies. I'm surprised no one makes videos with those. They are nice too
Love these cards Nichol. The purple would have to be my favourite, but the others are stunning also.

These are all absolutely gorgeous!!! I love the purple and am thrilled that companies are finally producing the pure purples!
Can’t really pick one they are all so pretty and love the gold
My favorite color is the blue. Green second.
Thank you Nichol - You're cards are stunning and you continually amaze me with your creativity!
Absolutely gorgeous cards Nichol 💖 Purple is my favorite color, especially lavender,and lilac !!!
Wow, Nichol- such gorgeous color combos and card design!

I was debating between the blue and the purple, blue won! 💙
Beautiful

Fabulous cards and terrific for mass producing. Hard to find a great design having plenty of interest with mass card making.
Yay, welcome to the Purple Side! Guess which color is my favorite 😋. Those cards are so beautiful, and you've really inspired me to head in to the craft room and finally try that amazing foundry wax ❤️

I love them all, its to hard to pick my favorite maybe the purple then blue and green last. But they are all great.

I like the Teal, then lavender I love all your cards. Janet Hockenberry

I've done it both ways! Either way works!
Your cards are always nice but these are especially nice. I think you said you were from Wichita. I live in Overland Park! We are neighbors.. kind of.
Question, with the foundry wax are you able to rinse out the brush you did the splatters with the wax? Wasn’t sure how easily it washes out since it dries quickly. Purple is my fave color but I really love the first one you did with the teal green and pink/purple flower. ❤️❤️
Yes you can! It washes out great!
Forgot to add Thanks for the "die cut THEN emboss tip". The latest embossong folders are dymnamic.
What is the gold you are using?
The Tim Holtz Foundry Wax listed in the supplies.
