Candy Cane Lane card with a double heat embossing

This card is something else. I loved doing it and I need to find a different embossing folder to try the same technique, agree? And I will take ideas/requests
There are way too many pictures but sometimes that’s the way it goes. 
The embossing folder is by We R Memory Keepers. It's a little bit longer, so that's why I could line up the design. Meaning I could do this technique because the opposite, embossed and debossed was longer and could line up. (that was a horribly long run-on sentence.) 
The embossing folder is 3" wide. Therefore, these are 3 separate pieces of cardstock. (I think I said that)
I dry embossed 2 pieces of red cardstock and I'm not sure if they are from the same manufacturer they look like two shades of red. I hate the shades of red cardstock and how they are hard to match up. I probably didn't think the idea would work. 
>Click<My cousin used to obsess over the shades of red and I would be so Rrrr, "Just pick a piece of red paper!" So one day I ran into a problem with matching reds so I fanned out the pieces of red cardstock all over my desk and took a picture. I texted her the picture and apologized for those times that she couldn't find just the right red to match her son's shirt when we were scrapbooking. She appreciated the apology. 
>Click< Back- moving on with the tour. 
Then I dry embossed a shimmery white cardstock. 
I took a red "Wet Looks" Marvy embossing marker colored it into the debossed pattern and then heat embossed it with red embossing powder.
I did the same thing for the red cardstock but in white. The embossing marker is Embossing Dual Pen 11 #81 Clear by Tsukineko and used Hero Arts white embossing powder to finish the job. 
I must say that I didn't use a powder bag before heat embossing and it shows with embossing powder everywhere. For the first time with such a technique, I'm all good with that.  
I trimmed the panel down and gave it a nice white border on the sides. The sentiment is one of Cricut's print and cut. 

This post was stupid long and way too wordy with probably many grammatical errors. This may be why I didn't want to post it. Thanks for sticking with me. Thanks for looking.

I also have This dragonfly card with the same scraps.

I made the card yesterday at the same time as this one. I thought it was interesting to see the two next to each other.
The dragonfly was cut using my Cricut from the image set called Spring Fling.
I layered it to make the wings lift up a little bit.
The patterned paper that is green is unknown but the blue is by Sunborn
So the blue had been part of a glue drip accident. 
Therefore, I colored him with a flicking motion with a Crayola Brush Tip marker.
Then...I threw it in my drawer. So when I made this background from blue scraps of paper and I looked in the drawer and came across this dragonfly. So, they look okay together. I added a sentiment by Hampton Arts. Thanks for...Oh wait, there’s more...
Here are some other cards that I found when I put the word dragonfly in the search box. The cards are all different. 

 Thanks so much for looking.

I went digging inside the drawer and look what I found, this embossing paste honeycomb background.  
This stencil by is Tim Holtz and I applied Dreamweaver Stencil's silver embossing paste. Then the bee stamp is by Stampin Up. Its original stamp is the one in the center that has words coming out of his butt. I stamped the bee in yellow and cut off the sentiment.
 The hexagon punch is by Stampin Up. 
The center embellishment is stacking hexagons pointing up and down. Thank you for looking.

Two Lawn Fawn cards with Coffee and Tea

The patterned paper on the first card is by forever and time and the writing on the paper is by Provo craft. I cut a scallop square by Spellbinders. The sentiment die is also by Spellbinders. I bought the rectangle die cut from eBay. I inked the paper with distress ink before taking it out of the metal die.
This was the Siri dictation-husband linked with the stress sink (giggle) before taking it out of the metal. The actual coffee cup is stamped into some graph paper by Project Life. The dot for the J is a sticker by Cloud Nine.
Then the second card uses patterned paper by My Mind‘s Eye, Basic Grey, and somebody else. The die cuts are by DO Crafts, Spellbinders, and Papertrey Ink. The teacup was heat embossed in white and the steam was stamped and cut out with a matching die.
I'm entering this card(s) into the AG with dies at

Floral Friday Majorie’s birthday card

The only floral is on a tiny piece of patterned paper.

I stamped the butterfly stamps that came from Dollar Tree onto cream cardstock by Cricut and I colored them in with Copic Markers. I cut them out by hand and then used pop dots to adhere to the wings.

The patterned paper in this card comes from: are you ready for this? Cardstock doesn’t count. From the top-down, My Mind’s Eye. Die cuts with a View. Provo Craft. Recollections. Strathmore watercolor paper with a random color mix. Die Cuts with a View, Provo Craft, My Mind’s Eye, and Christmas paper on them both by Anna Griffin. The sentiment is an old embossing folder. It's one of the small ones and I just inked it with distress ink.

Thank for looking.
