Add color to the Sunflower 3D embossing folder. Wow!

September 1, 2025

You’ve likely seen lots of cards made with the new Sunflower 3D embossing folder but have you seen any like this?!

We made this card at my August card clubs and it was a big hit! Turquoise might not be a traditional color but it sure is pretty! This technique will work beautifully with yellows & oranges too.

We started by embossing a white layer of card stock with the embossing folder. Then using the debossed side, added Coastal Cabana ink to the petals with a sponge dauber.

Next we did the ‘direct to paper’ technique – rubbing our ink pad directly onto the embossed card stock – with Pecan Pie ink. After that we did the same with Early Espresso ink. This picked up the fine details in the embossing. Gorgeous!!

This Sunflower 3D embossing folder has been out of stock twice already and it’s in low inventory again! You can see it here. Get it while it’s available! Online Exclusive products are while supplies last…..

Fun Fold card with two versions!

October 6, 2020
Saturday was World Card Making Day! Did you make time to stamp? First; did you even know about it?

We had a few stamping events on my Flowerbug's Team group and Mystery Stamping was one of them. I sent them measurements so they could prep for the card making event but they didn't have a photo of the card! Just measurements and supplies. Use any Designer Paper, etc….. It was fun to see what they all made.

Below are the two fun fold cards I made.

The front of the card is cut short to reveal the Designer paper on the left (inside) of the card. Above I used the Snowflake Splendor designer paper and the Snowflake Wishes stamp set & dies bundle. This designer paper is on sale right now at 15% off. See all of the papers on sale here:

Next is a card made with the Gilded Autumn specialty designer paper and the Beautiful Autumn stamp & punch bundle. You can see the measurements for these cards below.

Here are the measurements:
- 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper (3 1/4" x 4" plus a coordinating piece 1 3/4" X 4")
- Coordinating card base (9" x 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2")
- neutral CS like White or Vanilla (2 1/2" X 3 1/2" and 3 3/4" X 3 1/4" for inside)
- a coordinating layer of CS (2 5/8" X 3 5/8")

Trio of Celebrate Sunflowers cards with video & an easy highlighting technique!

October 2, 2020
Look at these gorgeous sunflower cards! They were a big hit at my Card Clubs this month. They could chose between Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade and Calypso Coral ink for their sunflower.

We sponged each sunflower leaving the center without color except for a bit of Crumb Cake Blends marker. I know it might not be realistic but I like the pop of White in the center for brightness.

Check out the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle here.

Then we used White Craft ink and Blender pens to highlight a few petals here and there on the sunflowers. It's super easy! I created a video below so you can see how it's done.

Measurements:
- Crumb Cake card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scraps for die-cuts
  Whisper White 3 1/2" X 4 3/4", plus a 3 1/2" piece for sunflower
