Start with a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card base of Crumb Cake card stock.
Layer and adhere a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Whisper White card stock with Snail Adhesive.
Zip a 3 1/2 x 3 3/4 piece of Calypso Coral card stock through the Big Shot with the Hexagon Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The hexagons mimic “chicken wire.” Adhere as shown with Snail Adhesive.
Cut a piece of 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon to 3″ long, adhere with Snail Adhesive.
Use the Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment in Versamark Ink onto a piece of Basic Black card stock that has been rubbed with an Embossing Buddy. Cover with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, flick to remove the excess and set with a Heat Tool.
Crop sentiment with the Big Shot, Magnetic Platform and the 2 3/4 x 7/8 Rectangle Stitched Framelits Die. Add a Calypso Coral Basic Brad in the upper left corner. Adhere with Snail Adhesive.
Use the Stamparatus to stamp the rooster in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto a 2 3/8″ square of Whisper White card stock.
Color with Light and Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends. Adhere to a 2 5/8 square of Crumb Cake card stock that has been cropped with the Big Shot and a Stitched Shape Square Framelits Die. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Tie a piece of Basic Black Solid Baker’s Twine through a Tropical Flower Button, securing with a bow. Adhere with a Mini Glue Dot.
Adhere a 2 1/4 x 5 3/4 piece of Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper to the outside flap of a Medium Whisper White Envelope. Trim to size with Paper Snips. You can see my video demonstration with tips on adding designer paper to an envelope flap here.

I love the selective coloring – and the beautiful texture from this embossing folder. Great pairing! ♥
I love the hexagon folder embossing for creating a cover over the bumps and embellishments of handcrafted cards. Reminds me of bubble wrap but in coordinating colors!
Ooooh, simplicity, means beautiful, love it MsMary ♥️
Hugs Frenchie ♥️
Great point, Frenchie. Thanks for stopping by!
The WOW factor is turned up quite a bit. I LOVE the colors, especially the Calypso Coral layer. I couldn’t see the embossing in the first photo and I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Thank goodness you did a close up because the hexagon is awesome! TFS.
and that is the second photo I took of the first one. texture can be tricky. glad you could see it in the close-up, Juanita.
