Inked Embossing Folder technique; it’s SO pretty!


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 shared a video with other techniques using the Pretty Embossing folder my FB Live here.  Or click on the photo/link below.

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. 

Measurements:

  • White card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
  • Evening Evergreen CS 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"

*Below is the video to see how to do this and get my tips on being successful.

  • January Hearts for You alternative card idea


    Today I'm sharing an alternative project I made with the January Hearts for You Paper Pumpkin kit. 

    Everything you see here is in the kit. The only thing I added was a Real Red Blends marker that I used to change the color of the champagne foil heart to Red.  It's fun to experiment a bit!

    Below you'll see the 9 projects recommended in the kit.  They're gorgeous as is but I like to show alternative ideas just in case you want to get creative with the products.  It is really fun to change things up at times. 

    Once you're a Paper Pumpkin customer you can choose to get any of the extra refills or add on items. The refills do not include the stamps or ink spot but everything else!  And they're usually only $12. Wow!  See this one here

  • A unique fun fold card swap with Hugs for Love with Bloom Impressions


    Tracey made this stunning card for our January Team card swap.  I love her colors and layout so much! 

    Her card layout was inspired by Rachel Tessman and chose to use a Petunia Pop with Blackberry Bliss color combination. 

    She featured the Hugs for Love bundle and the Bloom Impressions designer series paper (free during Sale-a-Bration with a qualifying purchase from Stampin' Up!  See this gorgeous paper here. 

    It's hard to tell in the photo above that it's a fancy fold card isn't it?  

    The right flap tucks under the diagonal Designer Paper and To the Point greeting punches.  

    The measurements for the card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1 1/4" (fold back) and 5 1/2".  Both front flaps are textured.  

    Below is the Hugs for Love bundle that includes the To the Point punch.  I love, love this punch so much!  *heads up; this punch is now in low inventory; grab it while you can! 

    There's another stamp set that coordinates with this fabulous punch too.  It's called Bright Borders.

  • Make the most of your card stock & DSP with this Timeless Plaid fun fold card


    Today I'm sharing one more easy fun fold card featuring the Timeless Plaid 6" Designer Series Paper.  

    I love this card layout because it makes great use of both your card stock and designer paper.  My colors include Basic Beige with Pretty Peacock.  The greeting and stitched edge die-cut are from the Mixed Labels bundle seen here. 

    The card base is 11" X 4 1/4"; scored at 5 1/2". Trim off one end at 3 1/4" and cut it into a square.  Next add a 3" square of DSP to that. You'll add that as the layer over the left side of the card (after adding a 2" X 4" piece of DSP).  So simple! 

    I shared 3 fun fold cards on last week's video.  If you like fun fold cards I hope you'll access the free project sheets for them all here.
