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.

  • Sale-a-Bration product displays

    **Important: My email address has changed because my account was compromised.  Please note my new email here – lagreff60@gmail.com 

    For today's post I'm featuring displays I had up at my new catalog party on Saturday.  I shared some yesterday featuring new 2023 Spring Catalog products and today I'm focusing on Sale-a-Bration products.  

    First is a display board of the Looking at You and Adorable Owls stamp sets.  Both are free with a $50 Stampin' Up! purchase.

    Both the Thanks a Bunch and the Adorable Owls sets are free with a $50 purchase through February 28th during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  I know you all love getting free items as much as I do.  

    See the Thanks a Bunch set here and the Adorable Owls set here. 

    At the bottom of the photo above you'll see the Dandy Designs DSP.  The Dandy Designs Designer Paper is a whopping pack of 48 sheets and is free with a $100 minimum purchase in our Sale-a-Bration promotion happening now through February 28th.  See it here.

    It has been very popular with my customers so far and I just wonder if it might sell out before the promotion ends…. .

  • New Catalog Party display pictures!

    I held my new catalog party on Saturday showcasing the Spring & Sale-a-Bration products. It was so fun to have my customers/friends stop in to see everything & visit.  

    Here are a few photos of my displays of new 2023 Spring Catalog products:

    Above you can also see the Country Gingham 6" designer paper and lots of swaps featuring this Country Floral Lane suite. 

    I always join a bunch of swaps so I can get a bunch of samples so I can create display boards like this one:

    I wish the pictures were a little clearer for you but there was some reflection on the clear envelopes covering each card.

    Below are swap cards featuring the Regency Park Suite seen here; one of my favorites! 

    Keep in mind I didn't make all of these cards. I did make that 'many' but received different cards back for the swaps I sent in.  I love swapping!!

    I'll share more products & swaps featuring Sale-a-Bration tomorrow.

  • Sentimental Park with Country Gingham DSP card swap

    I always join a bunch of online swaps with each new catalog.  It's so much easier to make a bunch of one card than it is to make one of several different cards for my display boards.  

    Here's one I made with the Sentimental Park bundle seen here.  

    Sentimental Park swap Save

    I chose to use the Country Gingham 6 X 6" designer paper pack; it has multiple gingham patterns in just a few colors.  I added White & Blushing Bride to it.  

    Notice that pretty white die-cut for the greeting; it has attached floral design on opposing corners for some pretty detail. There are two sizes of this type of die in this bundle and one without the side details.  This one fits inside the largest one; the floral detail has slits on the inside to allow the smooth die-cut to fit right in!  

    SENTIMENTAL PARK BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    The Blushing Bride oval is from the Framed Florets dies. The pretty texture on the White banner is done with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here; also new in the Spring catalog.

    My measurements are simple:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 2" X 4"
    • White banner strip 1 1/4" X 5"

    Notice the alternate print I used on some of the swaps below; I love having a few choices in similar patterns.

    I'll share some photos of my new catalog party from Saturday later this week.  Stop back in!
