Another way to feature your embossing folder…..


Yesterday I shared one way to use ink on an embossed layer. Today I’m sharing another.

Look closely at the card below. See how there are two different colors on this textured surface? I shared how to do this on last week’s video (see below).

This is the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder seen here. It just ran out of stock and may be a month or more before it returns. Please add your email so you’re notified when it’s back.

Here’s how to do this: I inked the smoother side of my folder (the textured areas are recessed) with Hydrangea Hue ink. I then placed my CS on the opposite side of the folder, closed it and ran it through my Cut & Emboss Machine.
It leaves the raised areas with the original CS color and the rest darker. It’s truly beautiful.

Here are both cards; with the addition of Peaceful Pine:

Simple & gorgeous! These cards will seem like you went above and beyond but they’re so simple!

I used the Classic Labels Mix & Match Ephemera for my greetings as well as the new stamp set called Scalloped Blooms seen here.

I also tried it with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder too.

Below is the video tutorial where I share how to achieve this technique. I hope you watch it and try it!

  • Incredible Sweet Citrus projects; part 2


    Continuing on from yesterday's post seen here, I'm sharing more of Karen's 'Artist of the Month' projects. She chose the Sweet Citrus stamp set & dies.

    Each month one of my Flowerbug's team members takes a turn (voluntarily of course!) to feature a bundle, sharing their projects.  They keep the bundle (free!) and I get the projects to share with all of you.  

    Her first card features limes, using Parakeet Party.  I believe her 'rind' is Garden Green.  

    She also made these two adorable candy boxes.  

    The one below is filled with lemon candies; so perfect for this stamp set.  

    This second box is for Orange Tic Tacs.  It fits in there so perfectly! 

    I know she found the pattern online but I don't have the link. It opens from the front and is tied closed with twine. 

    And lastly is a super cute fun fold featuring coconuts! Yes; you can create coconuts with the Sweet Citrus stamps!

    She stamped the coconuts in brown ink on White card stock and colored in the centers with Gray Granite ink using a water painter, leaving the white coconut ring.

    She used the Delicate Desert DSP from the Spring catalog; it has retired now however.  

    It's a bit too much to share measurements here so I'll plan to create a card like this on a future video.  

    You can see the Sweet Citrus stamp set here.  And the Sweet Citrus Hybrid embossing folder and dies here.  

    Here is a photo of all of her gorgeous cards:

  • Incredible Sweet Citrus cards by Karen – lots of ‘Wow’s’!


    Karen was our Team Artist of the Month in April and she knocked it out of the park! I cannot believe I haven't shared them yet….. She chose the Sweet Citrus stamp set, Hybrid embossing folder & dies.  Look at these gorgeous cards! 

    Her colors are Parakeet Party & Tahitian Tide.  Love those limes and the turquoise leaves.  

    The card above features Mango Melody with Polished Pink; these colors have since retired. That striped paper was a host paper in the last catalog.  The white edge die-cut is from the Basic Borders dies.  

    LOVE these bright colors with Starry Sky!  Daffodil Delight & Granny Apple green.  Those vellum leaves and sprigs are a wonderful accent (from the Bough punch).  

    this last card features Pumpkin Pie with Parakeet Party, Shaded Spruce and Daffodil. She called this card 'Fruit Salad' since it combines many of the fruits she used in other cards. 

    You can see the Sweet Citrus stamp set here.  And the Sweet Citrus Hybrid embossing folder and dies here.  

    I'll share more of her cards tomorrow.

  • Lasting Joy card swaps


    Sharing a few more card swaps I received recently, this time using the Lasting Joy stamp set.  

    This first card was made with the Countryside Inn designer paper and the Contour Scallops dies.  

    The card measures 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4". Colors include Night of Navy & Boho Blue.  I do not have the name of the creator of this card; sometimes the name gets lost if they add a business card instead of a sticky note in the back. 

    Here's a photo of the Lasting Joy stamp set.  Gorgeous greetings and a few extra images for embellishing.

    This next card uses the same Lasting Joy stamp set but in Fresh Freesia and bubble Bath colors.  

    Evie DiPiazza made this card; she used the Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper and the Elegant Borders dies for that pretty die-cut edge.  Here's a link to these dies.
