A new fun fold card with the Nature Walk suite; wow!

February 6, 2026

Karen’s swap card blows me away! I haven’t seen a card fold like this one before and I just love her color choices too.

Isn’t it beautiful?! Can you tell that the front, main layers are ‘caught’ on the diagonal textured layer on the lower left? That’s what is keeping the flap tucked in.
This is how it opens:

Her colors include Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Old Olive & Basic White. I’ll share measurements below.
Did you catch the pretty textured layer? That’s the new Stone & Vine 3D embossing folder. And did you notice the ‘wood look’ die-cut in Olive near the greeting? That and the greeting are included the Nature’s Symphony bundle seen here.

She used the Nature Walk suite for her card which includes gorgeous nature focused products. See it all here.

Here’s how she finished the inside of her card:

Measurements as follows:

-card base 7″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
-White 7″ X 5″ scored at 3 3/4″. Make a mark on the shorter end at 1″ from the top and the bottom. Trim off the rectangle to the score line for the front flap
-Secret Sea front is 3″ square, side is 2 1/2″ X 5 1/4″, the diagonal piece is 2 1/2″ X 2 3/4″ cut in half and inside is 4″ X 5 1/4″
-DSP front is 2 3/4″ square, side is 2 1/4″ X 5″

Thank you for creating and sharing this amazing card with us Karen!

Inked Embossing Folder technique; it’s SO pretty!

June 10, 2021
I decided to play with an old favorite technique where you add ink directly onto an embossing folder 'before' you run it through the die-cutting machine. I shared how on the FB Live video here.

This first card features the Polished Pink CS & ink.

Save

I used two new products in our 2021-22 Annual Catalog; the Pretty Embossing folder and the Create with Friends stamp set seen here. That pretty die-cut label is from the Potted Succulents dies seen here.

This Pretty Embossing folder seen here is my free giveaway for online orders over $50 this month (before tax & shipping) using the host code seen below.

I made one in each of our newest In Colors; Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent and the Polished Pink.

Coloring Techniques with the Pretty Flowers Embossing folder! With video!

June 10, 2021

Have you ever added color/ink directly onto your embossing folder? It's actually fun and the results can be amazing! I shared three different techniques on my weekly FB Live Tuesday. Here's a link to it on my FB page or on YouTube here. Or scroll below to see it here.

This first card is done by coloring on your folder with markers. These are regular water-based markers; not Blends. I share tips for success on this technique in the video.

Each card features the stamp set Create with Friends seen here. I love this set! The embossing folder is called Pretty Flowers; it's my free gift for online orders over $50 in June! *see it here

I chose to use Soft Succulent on both cards adding Pale Papaya on the left and Fresh Freesia on the right. Love our newest In Colors!!! The greeting layer is from the Tasteful Label dies.

Save

Next is a sponging technique. I embossed the White CS with the folder in the die-cutting machine first. Then used sponge daubers to color the White CS. I highly recommend you use pastel colors for this for the best results. It's much more forgiving!

Save

I used the Poppy dies for the greeting layer.

Save

And the last technique is to add ink directly onto the folder itself; before you run it through. Press your ink pad lightly to the side of the folder you want inked. Do this lightly to avoid getting ink in the recesses of the folder. Again; watch my video for more tips!

The pretty die-cut for the greeting is from the Potted Succulent dies seen here.
