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.

  • Hippo’s & Dandelions?


    Today I have two more swap cards made by my talented Flowerbug's Team.  I still have more to share yet! 

    The first card is made by a brand new demonstrator; Tracey.  This was her first swap too!  She used the new Hippo Happiness bundle. 

    July Tracey Hippo

    Her colors are Just Jade, Daffodil Delight and Magenta Madness.  She stamped her own background using some of the images in the set.  That swirly die-cut we all love is from the Painted Labels die-cuts.  Such a sweet card! 

    I LOVE these dies; look at all of the labels. There are 9 of them! 

    Karen made this pretty card below with the new Dandelions 3D embossing folder.  

    July Karen Dandelion folder

    She used our Vellum card stock; did you know when you run it through an embossing folder it turns 'white' or opaque?  So cool!  You'll start looking at using vellum and your folders more now, right?  She added adhesive to the back of the flower heads and behind the greeting.  

    Her sentiment if from the Forever Fern stamp set and is punched out with the new Rectangular Postage Punch. 

    More swap cards coming up!

  • Nothing’s Better Than cards


    Have you noticed the 'Nothing's Better Than' bundle yet?  You will want to check it out on page 91 of the Annual Catalog.  

    Candace made two CUTE cards with it and the new Rainbow Glimmer paper. 

    First up is a fun card with a ton of stitched die-cut circles from glimmer paper for a background.  

    July Candace Nothing Better Than

    Her colors are Just Jade with Misty Moonlight and Early Espresso. The stitched circles are all part of the Rainbow Glimmer paper!

      

    Her next card uses the same bundle except she stamped and colored the chocolates and cookies this time.  I believe she used watercolor pencils for her coloring. 

    July Candace Nothing Better Than

    The 'Chocolate' greeting die-cut is the same Rainbow glimmer paper seen here!  You can see this cute bundle here. 

    You'll see more swaps and talent tomorrow!

    Huge Stamping Sale!!!

    This weekend is our annual Stamping sale where many of my customers sell off their excess paper crafting supplies.  I have a fantastic crew of helpers I call my 'committee'.  They set up the sale, do the books, and basically run the entire thing!  I am so blessed to have them.  Luckily they love it but it's a ton of work!

    If you live near us in ND it's so worth a road trip!!!  Gather some friends and stop in Saturday! 

    Remember, this is not my stash!  I usually do not sell things here anymore.  I save my items for my BOGO sales. 

    Rummage stamps

    Because of the huge quantity of items and the large number of sellers, I am unable to take requests for wanted items. I'm so sorry about that. I know these photos are a big tease to those who do not live near me and I apologize!  

    Rummage card stock

    If you live near us in Minot, ND it's well worth a road trip!  It's Saturday from 9-3 pm for everyone.  The Early Bird sale starts Friday for my current customers (those who have shopped with me in the last 6 months).
