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.

  • Snowman Peek-a-Boo card with video


    This interactive card is fun& adorable and my gals loved it at our December club events.  

    They were anxious that it would be difficult.  There is a little trick to it but once you 'get it' you'll find it's pretty easy. 

    I cased this card from my very creative friend, Julie Davison.  Her style is simple yet fun.  Her layouts are the best!

    My color scheme came from the Let it Snow specialty designer paper from the Holiday catalog.  Unfortunately that paper is out of stock.  It was VERY popular!  It's Coastal Cabana, Real Red, White and Black. 

    The Snowman Season set is still available as a bundle through today; January 2nd.  Get it at 10% off now.  It will return this year but not as a bundle at the discount. See the stamp set here and the punch here

    Here's the corrected video; not upside down!  Ha!

    Here's a pretty card I made for a recent online swap I participated in.  It features the Thoughtful Blooms and Small Bloom punch on pages 12 & 13 of the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  I love it when SU gives us coordinating stamps and punches!  

    My colors are Blushing Bride, White and Granny Apple Green.  I used the new Coastal Weave embossing folder from the Mini catalog, the Stitched Nested Label dies too. 

    I curled the little petals up with my bone folder and added the Gingham Gala adhesive-backed sequins to the center.

  • Happy New Year! Highlights video from my home office visit for MDA


    Today is my New Catalog Open House and BOGO sale; I am so excited to be able to offer the wonderful deals to my local customers.  It's from 1-3:30 pm in my Minot ND studio.

    If I have lots leftover I may offer them to my long distance customers.  We'll see how it goes! 

    ~~~

    This last year has been an incredible one for me as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  The highlight was achieving the Million Dollars in sales Achievement.  Stampin' Up! makes a big deal of it and I enjoyed every minute of the two days spent in Utah!  

    Here's a short video of my trip to the home office in Riverton, Utah.  I was SO nervous but honestly everyone there is so kind and lovely we had a wonderful time and after my 'speech' all was good! 

    Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my 14 year journey. Whether you are a customer, follower, Flowerbug's Team member, fellow demonstrator, friend or anything else; you helped make this fun and rewarding! 

    I love what I do and appreciate you all!
