Welcome to Minute Mondays where you’ll create a beautiful mark in a matter of minutes! This Bamboo Card was made using an Altenew embossing folder and Altenew inks but any folder and inks you have will work. I recommend using water reactive inks to create unique backdrops.

Materials
- Embossing Folder
- Distress Inks – Pads
- Mixed Media Paper

Steps
- Ink the “cut” side of the embossing folder. I combined several greens.
- Mist your paper with water to get a deep embossment.
- Run embossing folder with paper through your die-cutting machine.
Can you believe it? That’s it! Add a contrasting ink around the edges and high points if you want a little more drama and framing, put on a card base using double sided foam or sticky tape and that’s it! Congratulations! You just proved a card can be created in 5 minutes or less!
