52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2026 - Week 4

The Crafting Niche 52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge 2026:

This is a weekly challenge. I provide you with a prompt/theme each Sunday morning through out the year.  The challenge is very relaxed.  You can do as much or as little as you like.  You can create cards, tags, Artist Trading Cards (ATC's) or index cards, the choice is yours. You just go with what ever is in your head at the time.  You can stamp, get inky, use patterned papers, texture, embellish it is all down to you.

There is a dedicated private Facebook Group, with a lovely bunch of people who are already sharing their makes from previous challenges.  You can find the group by clicking this link.  I'd love you to join in.

The prompt for Week 4 is "Embossing"

For this prompt, I covered a tag with multi coloured Jane Davenport "Washi Tape", placed it in an embossing folder (I think it's by Crafter's Companion) and then ran it through the big shot.  To expost the wavy lines more, I used a wide nail file to sand the raised embossed surface.

Next, I dug out my box od dies and cut two pieces with a circle cut out design and glued into position on the tag.

I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder with orange coloured card to create the raised sentiment of "For Someone Special". I then die cut the orange card into a banner/flag shape.  I used a larger banner/flag die with white card to cut the larger shape, layering and using foam pads to elevate the greeting.  I then lightly sanded the surface of the greeting to highlight the wording more.  Finally, I glued the banner/greeting into position on the tag.
