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.

    Isn’t that cool? It’s a little challenging to get the angles and layers cut evenly but I share tips on that in the video below.

  • Peace on Earth easel card with free project sheet & video tutorial

    Here’s one more pretty card I made on last week’s video. I featured the Peaceful Garden suite seen here.

    My colors are Night of Navy with White. The beautiful Peace on Earth bundle and Peaceful Greenery embossing folder are the stars here. I also added Wink of Stella to the dove’s wings.

    The easel stands up on the inside greeting layers. The stamp & dies are part of the Traditional Labels bundle seen here. I think this is a must have if you make your own Christmas cards. Inside, I adhered the greeting die-cut to a fold of Misty Moonlight silver-edges ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

    Below is the video for this card and two more featuring this Peaceful Garden suite.

  • Peaceful Garden book-binding & gatefold card with free project sheet

    I love this fun fold layout! I cased it from my friend & team member Tina.

    Save

    My colors include Cloud Cover with Night of Navy & White. The designer paper is the Peaceful Garden seen here. The greeting is from the Sentimental Framing set seen here. I textured the Navy side layer with the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder. That beautiful die-cut is from the Traditional Labels dies seen here; my very favorite set of label dies right now!


    I stamped the inside with Cloud Cover ink (available in an ink spot) and the Textured Notes stamp set. The leaves match this DSP perfectly!
