Create a striking sunflower-themed card featuring a clever border strip technique using an A6 embossing folder. The design showcases a kraft and black colour scheme with white embossed sunflowers layered over decorative patterned paper. This simple technique demonstrates how to run a small embossing folder in two directions to create an extended decorative border element for maximum impact.
Take a piece of craft card and run it through the embossing folder in one direction to create the embossed pattern.

Turn the embossed card around and run it through the embossing folder again in the opposite direction, creating a central gap between the two embossed sections.

Mount the embossed kraft panel onto your card base, positioning it as a decorative border element on the right side of the card.

Position your chosen sentiment stamp in the central unembossed gap between the two embossed sections. In this example, a sentiment reading 'Smile: a curve that sets everything straight' is being placed below the sunflower topper.
