I decided to play with an old favorite technique where you add ink directly onto an embossing folder 'before' you run it through the die-cutting machine. I shared how on the FB Live video here.
This first card features the Polished Pink CS & ink.
I used two new products in our 2021-22 Annual Catalog; the Pretty Embossing folder and the Create with Friends stamp set seen here. That pretty die-cut label is from the Potted Succulents dies seen here.
This Pretty Embossing folder seen here is my free giveaway for online orders over $50 this month (before tax & shipping) using the host code seen below.
I made one in each of our newest In Colors; Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent and the Polished Pink.
I cannot stop playing with these fabulous new In Colors. They are my absolute favorite grouping for many years! And that ribbon!!! See the entire new 2021-23 In color line here.
Use this host code if your order is under $150. If it's over you'll still get the embossing folder but you'll also earn host benefits! Better yet, choose the Starter Kit and choose $125 in product and FREE Shipping as well! Click here!

It’s a simple gatefold card. I matched most of the DSP so it created a full panel on the front. This DSP has fussy or flocked areas on it. It does feel velvety!
I also used the new Exciting Times punch bundle for the center. You can see it here.
Here’s what the inside looks like. I added a strip of the DSP along with the white for stamping and signing. Then added a skinny divider of Bubble Bath for a little accent color.
I created a free project sheet for this card; click here to download or print it. Remember it’s a great idea to save these on your computer for easy access.
The video tutorial for this card and one more neat fun fold is below. Thanks for popping in today!

If you haven’t watched my recent videos you may not know that we have moved from Minot, ND to Bismarck, ND this month. It’s been a super busy time of downsizing, selling excess, packing and moving.
Why did we move? Well, there are many reasons but mostly my husband retired and we moved to be closer to our son and other family. It was very difficult to leave our beautiful home but we will love our new home too. Here’s a picture of my office/craft room before I was able to unpack. I’ll share new photos once I’m settled.
In that back doorway is a walk in closet; that will help with storage! I did find a nice L shaped desk and hope to get that set up today; then I can really set up my room.
This is why I’ve been missing in action lately; it’s hard to do both stamping/business and moving/getting settled. So I’m taking a bit of a break in August. Have patience with me; I’ll be back to blogging and videos soon!
My colors here are White with Hydrangea Hue and Granny Apple Green. I colored the Lily of the Valley die-cuts with both Blends markers and tried the new Shimmer Brushes too. The gorgeous textured layers are made with the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder; it’s back in stock now!See it here.
Look closely at the layers in my photo above and note how the upper left piece tucks under the right lower piece. That’s why it’s called a crossover fold; it actually locks together to lay mostly flat. You can see how it’s made in the video below.
DETAILS – Makes 1 album with 28 pages – Album size: 7-3/4″ x 7″ x 1-7/8″ – Page size: 6.5″ x 6″ – Colors: Blueberry Bushel, Crisp Cantaloupe, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger – Sentiments printed in English, French, and German
