DIY Embossed Planner Accents

Hi friends! Today I'm sharing my latest Craftwell inspiration with you here and over at the Craftwell blog! I've been playing around with the Teresa Collin's Love Triangles Embossing Folder, running different materials other than cardstock through the Cut'n'Boss machine to see how they look. I found something I liked by upcycling a piece of clear plastic and adding it to my July Summer-themed planner spread. I love finding new and fun things to included in my planner pages to make them more interesting. This one really hit the spot! Check it out...
Can you spot where I added the clear plastic triangles? It's always fun to put a clear dashboard of some kind in front of a colorful focal point for extra layering interest and texture. The Love Triangles Embossing Folder is right on trend and coordinates perfectly with all the different triangle accents on my Simple Stories Hello Summer papers and die cuts.
I also added a bit of black Stazon ink across the tops of the triangles on a smaller piece opposite the main side, creating contrast and even more interest.
Finally, I added a small scrap piece of the clear embossed triangles over the flamingo tag in the pocket. 
Who's ready to hit the beach?! I sure am! Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you've been inspired to find some scrap materials around your house and transform them into one-of-a-kind planner embellishments with the Cut'n'Boss too! Until next time, happy crafting!

I designed and assembled my card using the super fun and insteractive DC230 Smile Stamp & Cut set from Hero Arts and a few of my favorite products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® including E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser, Adhesive Dots Micro, 3D Foam Hearts and 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit. The embellishment kit was used in conjunction with the "smile" die to create a dynamic gold foil word. The hearts were accented with gold foil as well and a few sequins were held in place using Adhesive Dots Micro.
For the background, I gesso'd a piece of white cardstock, then water colored it with a variety of gelatos. Finally, it was dry embossed with an Anna Griffin folder. I really like how it turned out. 
And I sure hope you like it too! The next stop on the hop is Margie's blog! Be sure to enter the giveaway via Rafflecopter! Good luck and happy hopping!
