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.

    May Regals. Save

    This kit to go includes $20 in product AND a pre-cut cards kit; all for $28 plus shipping.  The product alone costs just over $24 so you're getting the 10 cards kit for less than $4.  It includes a full pack of 6 X 6" Regals designer series paper, a full spool of White Flax ribbon and 1/2 pkg. of Holiday rhinestones.  

    I used the So Sentimental stamp set on my cards. You can substitute any stamp set you own though. 

    There are three options for you with this kit. Purchase and see them all here. 

    1. First is the complete bundle that includes the pre-cut cards, product, pdf tutorial AND the So Sentimental stamp set for $59.50.
    2. Second choice is the pre-cut cards kit, product and pdf tutorial for $36.
    3. Lastly you can purchase just the pdf tutorial; with no kit or product for $15. 

    *I have a limited number of these kits available.  If you want one; do not wait! Go here to get yours. 

    **If you are already subscribed to my monthly kits to go I have one of these set aside for you.  Do not order another!

    The second available kit includes these gorgeous cards!  Stock up on your supply of masculine cards with this kit that requires NO stamping!

    It includes $18 in products including 1/2 pkg of Come Sail Away Memories & More cards pack and Memories & More cards and envelopes plus a pre-cut kit needed to complete your cards.  It also includes one package of Basic Brads, two spools of twine (Navy & Navy/Sahara Sand) and a few Sail Away trinkets.

    Purchase it here by May 17th.

    Both of these kits will be mailed out at the end of this month, which gives you some wonderful crafting time.

    Retreat candy boxes Best Dressed Save

    They're hand made from White and Lovely Lipstick card stock with fussy cut flowers and leaves from the Best Dressed designer series paper added to the top. The greeting is from the Dressed to Impress stamp set. The pretty die-cuts are from the Ornate Frames & Ornate Border dies which are now available again!  See them here. 

    Here's a picture of the assembly process:

    Here are the box dimensions:

    • Top is 3 3/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 3/4" on all sides
    • Bottom is 3 5/8" X 5 3/8" and scored at 3/4" on all sides.  

    Tips:

    • Once you have the box pieces cut and scored you can use the Ornate Border dies to die-cut the pretty windows in the sides.  
    • Cut the White frame using the Ornate Frames dies. Stamp the greeting and add fussy cut leaves and flowers. 
    • Fill with chocolate!
