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.

    This gorgeous By the Bay specialty designer paper is amazingly beautiful!  It has gold and glossy accents on one side of each page.

  • 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…. .  

    I love this stamp set! It's 2-step and distinktive in one set!  Here's the link to see it online.  It's free with any $100 purchase through February 28th.  I love Sale-a-Bration!  

    Above are the Dainty Flowers & Favored Flowers displays.  See the Dainty Flowers DSP here. 

    And here is the link to the Favored Flowers designer paper; it's so pretty in deep, rich colors. 

    *Remember that these products are available while supplies last!  Don't wait too long to order.
