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.

  • Double-Decker fun fold card with video tutorial and free project sheet

    Here's the second card we made at my September card clubs. It's a 'Double-Decker' fun fold card. 

    All About Autumn Double Decker Save

    It features the pretty All About Autumn specialty paper that is so popular it's been hard to keep in stock! It should be back around the middle of October.  See it here.  

    ALL ABOUT AUTUMN 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    For the circle die-cuts I chose to use both Stylish Shapes for the Vanilla circles and Deckled circle dies for the Early Espresso circle.  The die-cuts in Vanilla & Copper Clay are from the Magical Meadow dies.

    The greetings are from one of my favorite stamp sets in the Holiday catalog – So Sincere.

    A double-decker card is where the center layer is popped up by a small box attached to the inside, back of the card like this.

    Autumn Leaves doubledecker Save

    You need to adhere the back layer before adding this box. Then you top it with your center layer; for my version it's a piece of designer paper.

    I added a second circle to the inside designer paper layer for signing.  But one of my smart customers thought of adding it to the back so it doesn't cover up any of the pretty paper. A great idea!

  • A Stunning fall card with Gorgeous Garden; with a video tutorial and free project sheet!

    Check out this fabulous, colorful autumn card we made at my September card clubs!  

    Autumn Leaves Club Sept Save

    We added fall colors to the die-cut using Blending brushes. 

    This die-cut is in the Gorgeous Garden dies seen here.  This is the leaves die and there is also a floral option as shown below. 

    GORGEOUS GARDEN DIES Save

    **Check out these other projects featuring these dies – here and here.

    If you're interested in these dies now is a great time to purchase them.  Add on another item or two and you'll qualify to receive a Mystery Box from me!  *see details below

    The card base is Vanilla as well as the die-cut.  Ink colors include: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wheat.

    We started with the two darkest colors – Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive, adding a few splotches of color leaving many open areas for the remaining two colors. I prefer to add the lightest color of Wild Wheat last, so it can fill in any open areas without covering up the previous colors. 

    Watch the video here or scroll down to see it below.

    The stamps & leaf die-cuts are from the Autumn Leaves bundle seen here.  It's a big favorite of mine this season.  

    AUTUMN LEAVES BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    The die-cut is almost the entire card front except for a thin edge. I added a strip of Cherry Cobbler to the left side. The greeting is stamped on a Tailored Tags die-cut. The leaves are from both foil and Oxidized Copper papers.  *The Oxidized Copper paper is back in stock!
