Decorative Borders & coloring vellum technique with video
Last month our Flowerbug's Team swap theme was to use vellum or window sheets. Here's what I came up with featuring the Decorative Borders stamp set seen here.
I heat embossed the image twice with black embossing folder in two corners. This is on vellum card stock. After it was set I colored in the images with Blends markers – Polished Pink, Granny Apple Green and Old Olive. The corner image is small but it still took a bit of time to do them all. I colored on the back side; no real reason except it's a little more forgiving.
The greeting die-cut is from the Potted Succulents dies; the heat embossed image is from Color & Contour stamp set in the Annual Catalog.
My measurements are:
Card base 5 1/2" X 6 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
Printed vellum 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
Vellum card stock 3 1/4" X 4 1/8"
White front 3 1/2" X 4 1/2" , inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
Below is a photo of the pretty Decorative Borders stamp set. There are so many ways you might use this set; I share a few more in the video below. It would be perfect to decorate your envelopes too!
I shared it on my FB Live yesterday (see video below). It's sort of a unique fold in that the card base is a quarter sheet and the Sweet Sorbet is smaller and opens; see?
*Other items used here are the Conversation Bubbles dies, Pastel Adhesive-backed sequins, Balmy Blue variegated ribbon, Stylish Shapes dies, White embossing powder, Heat Tool, Sweet Sorbet Blends marker

I used the Happy Labels stamp set for the inside greetings. It has some fabulous images; see it here.
The class includes the Perfect Pomegranate stamp set and 6 pre-cut cards kit with the PDF tutorial too. This stamp set was a Sale-a-Bration bonus last year and I accumulated a few extra. This offer is while supplies last so don't wait too long to order.

To complete the cards as shown you'll need a few ink colors, adhesives and greeting images.
Two of the three designs are fun folds; one is a recent favorite called a Floating Panel card. I think the color combos are so pretty:
