I’ve got more ideas yet! Botanical Layers bundle cards with video


I challenged myself to use each pattern of the vellum included in the Lovely Layers vellum.  You can see it here; you get 60 sheets in the pack!  It includes 4 different prints and many sheets of plain vellum too. 

This first card has a printed circle on it.  The easy solution was to add a die-cut wreath.  I used three sets of dies here; the Natural Prints, Amazing Thanks & Hydrangea dies.

My colors are Parakeet Party, Fresh Freesia, Black & White.  The vellum in the kit is 1/4" larger than the 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" white layer. 

Remember that it helps to place a White layer under your vellum to see it's true color.  

Here are two cards; both using the Lovely Layers Vellum.

For this card I textured it with the new Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder.  Embossing vellum is a wonderful way to add it to your projects; it's texture and opaqueness is so beautiful. 

The colors are Polished Pink & Parakeet Party.  I used the Poppy Moments and Natural Prints dies for the greenery and the Nature's Prints stamp set for the stamped leaves and greeting.

  • Another way to feature your embossing folder…..


    Yesterday I shared one way to use ink on an embossed layer. Today I’m sharing another.

    Look closely at the card below. See how there are two different colors on this textured surface? I shared how to do this on last week’s video (see below).

    This is the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder seen here. It just ran out of stock and may be a month or more before it returns. Please add your email so you’re notified when it’s back.

    Here’s how to do this: I inked the smoother side of my folder (the textured areas are recessed) with Hydrangea Hue ink. I then placed my CS on the opposite side of the folder, closed it and ran it through my Cut & Emboss Machine.
    It leaves the raised areas with the original CS color and the rest darker. It’s truly beautiful.

    Here are both cards; with the addition of Peaceful Pine:

    Simple & gorgeous! These cards will seem like you went above and beyond but they’re so simple!

    I used the Classic Labels Mix & Match Ephemera for my greetings as well as the new stamp set called Scalloped Blooms seen here.

    I also tried it with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder too.

    Below is the video tutorial where I share how to achieve this technique. I hope you watch it and try it!

  • 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.
