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.

    Each of the cards above has a unique fold and the layouts make the most of the fun tags and printed elements in the kit.

    There are 3 different layouts and you’ll make 3 of each. Besides the Timeless Tidings DSP I also added the 3 color Christmas twine and the Christmas berries & leaves to the cards.

    The pre-cut kit includes 1/2 pkg of the designer paper and a share of the twine and berries/leaves gems. You’ll receive the PDF tutorial AND all pre-cut pieces. To complete your cards just add stamped greetings and cut your new DSP using the tutorial provided. Everything else is done for you. It’s so fun to play and create with these pre-cut kits; I get a ton of compliments and lots of repeat customers.

    Most of these cards are special fun fold layouts and one includes a gift card option. I design my card kits to feature the designer paper, ribbons and gems. You don’t need any special stamps to finish them; only greetings.

    My pre-cut kits to go include all pre-cut pieces including die-cuts and punched pieces. You will receive 1/2 pkg of the Sunflower Fields designer paper and will use the measurements in the tutorial to cut them for each card. Everything else is cut for you.

    You also receive a share of the Golden Glow ribbon and the Radiant Gems; it’s about $20 in Stampin’ Up! products! The PDF tutorial is included in the price of $32 plus shipping. I highly recommend adding on another card kit to save on shipping costs.

  • Sharing the Poetic Petals bundle in a unique way! Video & free project sheet too.

    Here’s the card I shared on last week’s Live video. It features the new Poetic Petals bundle.

    Save

    Isn’t it cute?! The colors are Barely Blush with Lemon Lolly and Old Olive. I die-cut the floral square and the Perennial Postage outer edge at the same time. Then I colored the flowers, frame and leaves with Blends markers. The frame is reinserted into the window and secured together with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Watch the video to see how it’s done.

    The Poetic Petals bundle is new this month and available in our online store.

    The stamp set is wonderful with mixed fonts and greetings for many occasions. You can see the bundle here. But the dies are what sold me:

    There are 6 dies in this set; three frames and three inside floral die-cuts.
