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.

  • How many ways can you use the Elegant Tag punch? LOTS!


    Look at these pretty projects using the Simply Elegant suite

    The Simply Elegant Specialty designer paper is gorgeous as well! It's filled with detailed patterns in Basic Black, Basic Gray, copper, gold, silver, Very Vanilla, Whisper White. 

    Check out the Elegantly Said stamp set here in the bundle with the Elegant Tag punch. 


    Here's a bunch of additional ways to use this Elegant Tag punch. You can lengthen it or insert narrower strips into it. Or use one end or the other to get lots of unique shaped tags with this Elegant Tag punch. 

    Unfortunately this punch is on back order until July!  But you can still order it right now.  I have a feeling they'll turn it off soon and it will be unorderable.

  • Today is the last day for the 36% off promotion! Plus Elegantly Said bundle & punch tips!


    Today is the last day to get in on the Starter Kit promotion seen here.  If your wish list is larger than $99 it only makes sense to choose this option. 

    Don't think of it as a commitment, but as an opportunity to get your SU products at a discount while you can.  When you're done ordering what you want you can stop.  That's it!  Simple and smart.  

    • Your first $300 in orders isn't 'due' until the end of September.  And we have the Holiday catalog AND Sale-a-Bration to order from in August.  It starts for customers in September but one of our favorite Demonstrator perks is pre-ordering from NEW catalogs a month earlier than everyone else.  
    • Another thing you might not know is that our $300 minimum order amount is retail; not discounted price.  So we're really spending just $240 to stay active and enjoy the discount.  All orders, yours or your friends all count.  
    • There's no need to sell or hold classes unless you'd like to.  

    Get $55 in free product with purchase of the Stampin' Up! Starter Kit!  Choose $155 in product of your choice for just $99 and get FREE SHIPPING as well!
