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.

  • Striking Nests of Winter card kit to go; reserve yours ASAP


    Today I’m sharing my second card kit to go for November. It is a former paper pumpkin kit called the Nests of Winter; but I jazzed them up a bit plus added more.

    This pretty kit includes lots of foil accents and a wintery bird theme. I added Christmas greetings but they could easily be winter themed all occasion cards too. This kit includes 12 cards with envelopes and a share of Peppermint gems plus the PDF tutorial. It includes so much product you could make even more cards with just a few card bases.

    This card kit will go out in mid to late November, before Thanksgiving, giving you plenty of time to get them out for Christmas if needed. The PDF will be sent to you via email immediately after payment.
    *You will need greetings, ink and a paper trimmer to complete them.

    You can see it here on my Shop along with many more kit & tutorial options. It’s $29 plus shipping. See all of my kits here.

  • Grab this Quick & Easy Christmas fun fold card kit to go; while supplies last!


    I was torn whether I wanted to do another set of Christmas cards for my November monthly kits. But I had to feature the fun Christmas Tags & More DSP so I went with it.

    What do you think?

    They’re so bright & colorful in traditional colors of red & green. These cards are all fun fold layouts too but you’ll get the link to my exclusive video with purchase of the kit or tutorial.
    I didn’t do any stamping on these cards. I used our Christmas Greetings for You Mix & Match ephemera instead. It’s filled with tons of Gold foil pre-cut greetings! *It’s currently unavailable but I ordered before they ran out. (same with the DSP)

    This kit includes a half package of the designer paper and ephemera. Plus shares of the ribbon and Peppermint gems too! All with 10 pre-cut cards for just $31. The only thing you have to cut is your new designer paper; but with the tutorial that’s easy. You can see this kit here.

    If you’d rather get the PDF tutorial seen here you can choose it for $16 instead. But you won’t get any of the lovely products…..

    You can see all of my available kits here. Choose more than one and save money on shipping costs.

    I’ll share my second Christmas cards kit with you tomorrow. If you can’t wait, check them out here.

  • Easel card fold with Modern Christmas with a free project sheet! Mystery boxes are still available!


    On last week’s video I shared two fun fold cards featuring the Modern Christmas suite. I shared one yesterday and today I’m sharing the Easel fun fold card. I haven’t made one of these for awhile and forgot how quickly they come together.

    Black, White & Gold are so classy. I did use one bundle and two sets of dies to create this card.

    I used the Traditional Labels bundle seen here for the greeting heat embossed in gold. And the Peace on Earth dies for the center die-cut. Plus the Peaceful Greenery coordinating embossing folder seen here. And lastly the Scenic Adventure dies here for the trees die-cut. Whew!

    There’s just something about a mostly white card that makes it elegant.
    I did create a free project sheet for this card. Click here to print or download it.

    Below is the video for this card and another fabulous Z-fold card. I hope you watch it and if you’re not already subscribed to my YouTube channel please do!
