Dry Embossed Card Focals

Today I'll show a couple more cards done with dry embossing - this time where embossing is the card focal.  I love the embossed look and it is so easy with machines like the Big Shot and embossing folders!  The first card is a simple Thank You card.  As Thanksgiving draws near, I want lots of thank you cards on hand to express my appreciation to those who mean so much to me.
This card simply uses a Cuttlebug embossing folder with Color Core card stock (from Core'dinations).  After embossing, I sanded it lightly to make the greetings pop.  Then I glued it to a coordinating light blue card for a quick and easy card.

This next card is more of a Christmas theme.  Many of us are busy making Christmas cards so we'll have plenty to meet our needs as December rolls around.
For this card, as you can see, after I embossed my green cardstock, I colored the raised bits.  The embossing folder was another one from Cuttlebug.  I mounted the embossed rectangle to the front of my card, used outline stickers to create a thin border, and finished it off with a ribbon and tag. I think it looks a bit like a Christmas gift.
