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.

  • Three easy cards with Curvy Christmas set

    I mentioned I'd made quite a few cards with the Curvy Christmas stamp set.  I wanted to share a few of them.  

    To clarify these products, the Curvy Christmas & Classic Christmas 6" Designer Paper will be available through January 4th or while supplies last.  You can see it all here:

    I used the pine bow to create a garland and added a fussy cut bow. Super quick card!

    Here I used the Pine Tree punch and Perfectly Plaid stamp set with the Classic Christmas DSP.  The White card base measures 5 1/2" X 7", scored at 4 1/4".  Add a 1" strip of DSP on the inside right edge.

    Above I used the Curvy Dies on my White layer.  Look how perfectly the dies match the stamp!  I added a few greenery die-cuts and one from the Poinsettia dies on the top. I may have gotten a little carried away with my Red rhinestones!
