Coloring Techniques with the Pretty Flowers Embossing folder! With video!

June 10, 2021

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!

Save

I used the Poppy dies for the greeting layer.

Save

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.

I used the Paper Blooms DSP, Stitched in Whimsy & In Bloom bundle in Night of Navy & White. This pretty designer paper is free with any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. See it here.

See that neat stitching on the inside of the card? That's my new favorite 'Stitched with Whimsy' dies; seen here.

I used both the dies and the stamp set on my front panels. I also stamped the greeting on the inside layer on the bottom left card.

Don’t miss out on our best deal!

January 24, 2021
I want to ask you 3 questions:
1. Do you have a long wish list of Stampin' Up! products?
2. Have you ever wished you could get all of your Stampin' Up! products on sale?
3. Have you wanted to see the new catalogs early? And order products early too?!
If you answered yes to any of the above I hope you'll tune in to my Facebook Live on Tuesday evening. I am going to go over the truths & myths of becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I'm also sharing how I got started.

Here's a link to the event. Opt in and you'll get notified when I'm on.

For those of you not on Facebook, I'll upload it to YouTube on Wednesday here.

I asked my Flowerbug's to share their 'why' and it was so neat to hear their responses! They are so happy they made the decision; I've never had anyone tell me they regretted it. Ever!

Some have been with me more than 10 years and never held a class! And that's okay! A few have had some classes to help them meet their minimums and a few hold regular events.

Here are their most popular reasons:
1. They love the discount of 20% or more on all their purchases.
2. They're enjoying being a part of something so upbeat and rewarding, making friends online and in person.
3. They don't want to give up the Stampin' Up! online community. There are numerous, exclusive websites they have access to with tons of inspiration not seen anywhere else.
4. They really love getting their catalogs early and ordering from them before anyone else.
Fact: You get $125 of product of your choice, 5 packs of 6×6 DSP ($57.50), free Past Paper Pumpkin ($21), no shipping on any of this ($20.35). So instead of $223.85… you pay just $99?! What?

The Starter Kit is always 25% off but during Sale-a-Bration it's an even better deal with the extra 5 packs of Designer paper you get free; a value of $57!

Save

Remember the Starter kit is only $99 and you can choose up to $125 in product of your choice. You get free shipping, a free Paper Pumpkin kit and lots of catalogs & business supplies. Go here to get yours!
