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

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.

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!

I used the Poppy dies for the greeting layer.

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.

  • Beautiful Butterflies with Mixed Florals swap card; free project sheet

    Here's one more pretty card I made for an online swap in December.  I just love the colors!  

    Beautiful Butterflies swap Save

    I used Petal Pink, Mossy Meadow & Poppy Parade; all taken from the Mixed Florals designer paper seen here.  It's from our newest Online Exclusives release. See all of the newest items here. 

    There's just something about this layout that I love.  It might be the balance of the vertical & horizontal layers along with the circle.  It just feels right. 

    The greeting and butterfly die-cut are from the new Beautiful Butterflies bundle seen here.  

    BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    There's so many neat things about this new bundle – the wonderful greetings, the pretty Hybrid embossing folder that matches the butterfly die and the fact that there's a large butterfly die that creates a butterfly folded card front like the one below!

  • Storybook Moments fun fold card with video & free project sheet

    I shared this easy fun fold card on last week's video. I made it for an online swap in December.  

    Storybook fun fold . Save

    It features the Storybook Moments designer series paper from our new 2025 Spring catalog. It reminds many people of Beatrix Potter. You can see this unique paper here.   It has two sheets of printed die-cuts in each pack that make it easy to add coordinating layers. 

    I love this fun fold because it uses your card stock so effectively.  It starts with a card base at 11" X 4 1/4".  Simply trim off 3 1/4" square from one end and use it as the extra layer on the front flap.  The DSP in the center is 3" square and the side is 2" X 4". Super simple and a great use of your double sided designer paper.
