Have you ever tried sanding your two-tone cardstock to bring out a beautiful embossed design? The two-tone cardstock has a white core . so it’s perfect. eToday I’m sharing a fun technique that adds a whole new look to your handmade cards!
For this card, I used the new Timeless Celebration Hybrid Embossing Folder, part of the gorgeous Somewhere in Time Suite Collection from Stampin’ Up!’s November 2026 Online Exclusives.
What makes this card special is the Gorgeous Grape Two-Tone Cardstock. After embossing the beautiful floral design, I gently sanded the raised areas using the Stampin’ Up! Sanding Block.
Because Two-Tone Cardstock has a lighter-colored core, sanding reveals that lighter shade and makes those embossed flowers and leaves really pop!
I love how this simple technique adds dimension and texture without needing lots of extra supplies.

A Little CARD-iologist Tip!
When sanding embossed Two-Tone Cardstock, start with a light touch. You can always sand a little more, but you can’t put the color back!
This is such a fun way to give your embossing folders a completely different look.
I hope this inspires you to pull out your embossing folders and try something new!
Until next time, keep creating those Cards From the Heart!
