How to use the Sunflower 3D folder on Designer Paper; with video

August 18, 2025

The Sunflower 3D embossing folder is so popular I featured it on my team card swap this month. The theme was monochromatic.

What do you think? Can you guess what DSP I used here?

It’s the Country Home DSP seen here. Once I textured it I chose the debossed side (raised flowers are on the opposite side) to add ink to.

I first lightly rubbed Pecan Pie ink across the embossed surface. Then added a bit of Calypso Coral ink over that. The effect is quite subtle but so pretty.

This gorgeous Sunflower 3D embossing folder seen here is out of stock right now. It’s so popular this is the second time they ran out! But you can put your name on a list (on the link above) to be notified when it becomes available again.

The greeting is from the Label Me Grateful set and stamped on an Arches die-cut and layered on another die-cut. My cardstock includes Pecan Pie, Basic Beige and Early Espresso.

Simple Lily of the Valley card; it’s a WOW! Grab the free project sheet or watch the video

August 17, 2026

I shared this beautiful Lily of the Valley card on last week’s Live video. It’s one of those cards that looks simple and easy but involves a bit of effort.

I used the Lily of the Valley dies along with the Everyday Arches dies on the vellum and the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder (it’s back in stock) for the background. White & Granny Apple Green are my colors here.

Since I did-cut the flowers from White CS I used a Granny Apple Green blends marker to color the stems on the flowers. I also curled the die-cut leaves a bit and cut one apart for the thicker stems in the center area. Watch the video to see how.

Did you notice there isn’t a greeting on the front? It’s okay to leave them off now and then. This way my card can be used for any purpose.

I didn’t even stamp one on the inside. Just a simple leaf/flower image. Click here to see the Lily of the Valley in my store. It’s wonderful.

I think what I like the most about this pretty DSP is that it’s so soft in color. Many autumn papers are dark, deep with rich colors; this is so unique!
