How to make the embossing folder the star of your card; with video!


I shared a few ways to highlight the texture on your 3D embossing folders on last week’s video. I shared the cards I created with the 5 new In Colors and how it’s done.

This is the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s currently out of stock unfortunately. Please put your name on the list to be notified when it’s back.

Steps: I textured the CS first. Then rubbed my Craft White ink pad over it lightly. It catches on all the pretty raised areas, highlighting them beautifully. This can take some practice and I recommend you ink pad not be fully inked.

I wrapped matching In Color ribbons across the cards and added a greeting. So simple but stunning in person.

The greeting die-cuts are from the Scalloped Blooms dies seen here. The greetings are from the Opulent Oasis & Balloon Festoon stamp sets.

Of course this technique; I’m calling it ‘white-washing’ shows up best on darker card stock. Here’s one I did with the Fern & Flora embossing folder seen here:

This is our new Peaceful Pine in color. The greeting tag is from the new Classic Labels Mix & Match ephemera seen here. Love these pretty White labels!

Below is the video tutorial with tips for success on this technique.

  • You Are Amazing cards with Blending Brush ideas


    Last week on my Tuesday Live I shared three cards featuring the You Are Amazing stamp set & the new blending brushes.  I've always loved sponging and these new brushes are incredible!  They are so popular they are currently on back-order; but you can still order them! 

    Feb 9th You are Amazing

    This cute stamp set is on page 7 of the Spring catalog.  Click here to see it.  It coordinates with the You Are Amazing card kit.

    Join me here for my weekly 'Facebook Live on Tuesday, February 16th here at 11 am CT. 

    On this first card I used the Happy Dies to create a colorful title banner. 

    You are Amazing Happy Birthday

    You are Amazing Happy  Happy Birthday.

    This was my favorite and also loved by many others too.  I created a few 'star stencils' with the Stitched Stars dies and sponged in the windows.  

    You Are Amazing Stars sponged

    I added a few Artistry Blooms sequins for extra bling. 

    You are Amazing Happy  Happy Birthday.

    And on this card I sponged on the True Love polka dot paper.  It was Black & White but is now two-toned!  

    You are Amazing Happy  Happy Birthday.

  • Use Sketches for inspiration!


    I've recently started sharing sketches on my Flowerbug's Team page and this is one of the firsts: 

    Template 2

    I think it's a fun layout and quick too.  I decided to use the designer paper from the Boho Indigo product medley.  I love these tones of blue!
