Vintage Embossed Cameo Card

Vintage Embossed Cameo and Mini Flower Card

The Nellie's Choice embossing cameo punches come in large (used in this example) medium and small.  They also have 4 different frame designs in each size.  The punches come in pairs, the punch and an embosser.  There are several floral designs, leaves, butterflies, snowflakes and cameos.  There are multiple sizes of several designs that allow layering.  The options are truly endless!

  1.  Cut a piece of light pink card stock to the measurements 5 x 10 “ and fold in half.
  2. Cut a piece of vintage pink floral paper 4 ¾” square.
  3. Attach the vintage floral paper to the front of the square card using double sided tape.
  4. Emboss the corners of the card using the embossing folder.  You will have to do it twice to get all four of the corners.  For the second two corners only run the embossing folder through your machine as far as the corners (it will flatten the other other corners if you run it through completely).
  5. Cut a circle in the center of the front of the card using the 2.5 " circle from the multi frame die set.
  6. Die cut one Bille’s Circle design from ivory card stock.  It is an intricate design and you may need to die cut the design several times turning ¼ turn each time.
  7. Attach Bille’s circle to the front of the card so that it is spaced evenly over the opening using a glue pen.
  8. Punch an oval using the punch from the Cameo pair.
  9. Spritz the oval with water and then place in the cameo embosser and press down using something to assist in gaining extra pressure such as a wooden stick or punch press.
  10. Attach the embossed cameo to the frame using 2 mm foam tabs and a glue pen around the edges.
  11. Use the glue pen to attach the cameo and frame into the centre of  Bille’s circle.
  12. Place the stick on pearls to the frame as shown.
  13. Punch and emboss 10 ivory flowers and 10 dark pink flowers.
  14. Attach the embossed flowers around Bille’s Circle using .5 mm thick foam tabs.
