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.

    Here is another fun fold card I made on last week's Tuesday video.  If you'd like to watch me live, join me on Tuesday's at 11 am CT here on Facebook or see them later on my YouTube channel here. 

    This card features the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper and a favorite card theme of 'Black & White with a pop of color'.  

    Delightfully Eclectic fun fold Save

    The pretty floral paper sheet in the Delightfully Eclectic DSP chose the color theme.  I fussy cut one of the flowers from the designer paper to add to my stitched circle die-cut.  I mimicked the dots in the DSP and used the Dots & Spots die on a piece of the Fresh Freesia card stock.  

    This Delightfully Eclectic designer paper is on sale now in June.  See it here. 

    The measurements are listed in the photo below.

    Today's project is one I made for two reasons.  One was to feature the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper in my weekly Live video and the other was for my Flowerbug's Team monthly card swap. 

    It's sweet & summery! 

    Inked & Tiled Delightfully Eclectic LA Save

    You might wonder where I got these shapes & flowers.  Well they are both from a sheet in the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper seen here.  Here's what the full sheet looks like:

    And the best part?  The new Inked & Tiled punch pack matches this paper perfectly with very little waste! 

    The punches are in a bundle with the Inked & Tiled stamp set here.

    My card base is the beautiful new Bubble Bath pink.  I added a layer of Garden Green 3 7/8" C 2 5/8".  That is added to a Scalloped Contours die-cut measuring 4 1/2" X 3 1/8".  

    The greeting is heat embossed in White powder on a strip of Garden Green. Then I cut it into a 1/2" strip and used one of the punches to get that cute greeting shape.  

    Inked & Tiled greeting tip Save

    This is one of the reasons I ordered these punches; for greetings.  But they sure make a sweet card front too.

    I think you could use other small images, stamped or designer paper, and do this same thing!

    How?  Well the card base starts out at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2".  Then you cut off one end at the 3 1/4" mark.  This piece is then flipped and is the front panel.  So smart!
