How to make the embossing folder the star of your card; with video!


I shared a few ways to highlight the texture on your 3D embossing folders on last week’s video. I shared the cards I created with the 5 new In Colors and how it’s done.

This is the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s currently out of stock unfortunately. Please put your name on the list to be notified when it’s back.

Steps: I textured the CS first. Then rubbed my Craft White ink pad over it lightly. It catches on all the pretty raised areas, highlighting them beautifully. This can take some practice and I recommend you ink pad not be fully inked.

I wrapped matching In Color ribbons across the cards and added a greeting. So simple but stunning in person.

The greeting die-cuts are from the Scalloped Blooms dies seen here. The greetings are from the Opulent Oasis & Balloon Festoon stamp sets.

Of course this technique; I’m calling it ‘white-washing’ shows up best on darker card stock. Here’s one I did with the Fern & Flora embossing folder seen here:

This is our new Peaceful Pine in color. The greeting tag is from the new Classic Labels Mix & Match ephemera seen here. Love these pretty White labels!

Below is the video tutorial with tips for success on this technique.

  • Beautiful cards made with the Rustic Christmas Countdown kit!


    I created these pretty cards with the Rustic Christmas Countdown kit.  It's meant to be used as an advent calendar but I thought they'd make great Christmas cards. 

    I will not be surprised if this kit sells out soon.  It's gorgeous!  The envelopes for the advent calendar are approximately 3" X 4"; a good size to add a treat inside. 

    I added Mossy Meadow & Cherry Cobbler card bases, some textured strips of the same colors and a few greetings. 

    The greetings mostly cover up the numbers printed on the wood & gold paper elements in the kit. 

    For greetings I used the Brightest Glow (annual catalog) and Beary Cute (Holiday catalog) along with circle punches and Tailored Tags dies. 

    We made these projects at my October Flowerbug's Team meeting. So pretty but super easy!

     

     

     

    You could make up to 25 cards using this kit just by adding card bases, a few layers and greetings.  The red adhesive-backed sequins, Dimensionals, Cherry Cobbler and craft twine all comes in the kit. 

     

    See this kit here online.  Our Christmas kits can sell out quick; so don't wait too long.  You never know if it will be back in time for Christmas. 

    The kits is gorgeous as an advent project as well!  It also includes the cutest clothespins to close the envelopes. 

    While you're shopping our kits be sure to check out the huge selection of kits in our Kit Collection. These kits are all inclusive and can be the answer to quick, seamless crafting or a fabulous gift for any creative person.  See them all here.

  • Heartfelt Hexagon cards with free printable project sheets


    Today I'm sharing a few more cards made with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch bundle. See the first project here. 

    When creating this next card I chose to use the Delightful Floral designer paper seen here. I had a few large scraps in the package and created this card:

    It's a classic layout that's perfect for using up those random pieces of designer paper you might have.  I like to layer one of the pieces to bring in another color layer; Pretty Peacock here. Then I simply added a layered Hexagon punch combined with the pretty Elegant Edge Tag Topper punch. You can see it here online.  

    My Lemon Lime Twist strip is 1" X 3 1/2" which is perfect for that delicate edge.  

    It's quite easy to layer the Hexagon punch.  Punch a second contrasting piece, cut it in half horizontally and add the stamped punched piece to it leaving a small border at the top & bottom.  You can see how this is done in the video below.

    Next is an easy card layout featuring designer paper scraps.  This time I chose the beautiful All About Autumn specialty designer paper.  This has been so popular they cannot keep it in stock!  It's currently unavailable but should return the week of October 30th.

  • Heartfelt Hexagon cards with free project sheet & video


    I featured the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle on a recent Live video.  Here's one of them: 

    It's a fun fold card that also has a gift card holder inside. You can see the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle here in our online store.  It's a cute punch bundle with a nice variety of greetings & more. 

    Products used:

    • Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper
    • Merry Melody embossing folder
    • Deckled Rectangle dies

    Below is a photo of the inside. It might be hard to see the gift card pocket on the inside left.  Scroll down to the other photo of the inside.  Isn't this greeting wonderful?  It's my favorite one in the set:

    I made a second version on my video; but reversed the colors. I used Pool Party & Real Red.  Which do you prefer?  Watch the video here.  


    You can see how the gift card is slipped into the inside left pocket, formed when you fold back the card stock on the left edge.  

    Measurements are included in the free project sheet seen above.  

    Below is the video on this card and two others. I'll share the project sheets for the other cards soon.
