When we went to Joanns the other day they had the new embossing corner punches out, so DH said that he'd buy me one... I was trying it out this afternoon, and it seems to work best on vellum. It also works on thickish paper or light cardstock but it doesn't emboss as well... I punched the corners and then lightly inked them and inked the fronts of the cards as well for good measure... then I played with a few other goodies I had and made some valentines.

Karen your cards are beautiful. I love the blue/green ones, they are so pretty.
How gorgeous are those?? I love that you used blue for Valentines!
After stamping three pink cards I was tired of it and wanted a change! :) The cards started out with a light green cardstock but I sponged so much blue ink over them that you can't tell until you open them up!
I'm a rebel anyway., I love to do things people don't expect. When I did the birth page for my daughter, I started with pink and white but it was SO not Laura that i added black. People think I'm crazy but it's much more her.
Very pretty Karen! You did a great job, and looks like you had fun playing, too. TFS!
Great job on the cards Karen...I loved the blue ones particularly :o) I have looked at the embossing punches but thought they may not be as effective as a lightbox and stencil. Have you tried Paper Glide? Apparently that is supposed to make embossing easier and the detail much crisper....I still think that there may be a problem with thicker cardstock though!
I've never done 'real' embossing... the punch looked like a cute shortcut! It works but you have to press down very hard to make it come out even... I tried it on some slightly thinner cardstock and it worked much better.
I really like the blue "with love" card... it's beautiful. TFS :o)
Very pretty. I have wondered how well embossing punches would work. Sandy
Very Pretty!
I need to get into making more cards. You've inspired me! Michelle P.
Lovely cards Karen.
