  • Bright Color Combo card with the new Watercolor Shapes set

    I have lots of creative challenges for my Flowerbug's Team and this time it was a color challenge featuring Night of Navy, Magenta Madness & Granny Apple Green.  Fun, vibrant colors I knew would be fun to play with. 

    Watercolor Shapes color combo.. Save

    I cut off an inch from the right edge of my Navy card and added a strip of Granny Apple Green DSP on the inside edge.  

    I chose to use a stamp set that I hadn't used yet; Watercolor Shapes seen here.  

    WATERCOLOR SHAPES PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET Save

    I stamped the watercolor shapes all over the 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" White CS but I did stamp off first for a lighter hue.  The greeting stands out more then. 

    I found a 'hello' greeting in each of the following stamp sets; Blossoms in Bloom, Create with Friends, Timeless Tropical, Sweet as a Peach, Artistically Inked & Sweet Strawberry.  I had no idea we had that many 'hello's' in our sets! 

    What do you think of this color combination?  

    CC5 Save

    I stamped a few of these images twice and fussy cut them so I could add some dimension to the card front.  I also added the new In Color Square Gems and a few of the Clear Epoxy Essentials that I colored Granny Apple Green with a Blends marker.

  • 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.

  • Coloring Techniques with the Pretty Flowers Embossing folder! With video!

    Have you ever added color/ink directly onto your embossing folder?  It's actually fun and the results can be amazing!  I shared three different techniques on my weekly FB Live Tuesday.  Here's a link to it on my FB page or on YouTube here.  Or scroll below to see it here.  

    This first card is done by coloring on your folder with markers.  These are regular water-based markers; not Blends.  I share tips for success on this technique in the video.  

    Each card features the stamp set Create with Friends seen here.  I love this set! The embossing folder is called Pretty Flowers; it's my free gift for online orders over $50 in June! *see it here

    I chose to use Soft Succulent on both cards adding Pale Papaya on the left and Fresh Freesia on the right.  Love our newest In Colors!!!  The greeting layer is from the Tasteful Label dies.

    Next is a sponging technique.  I embossed the White CS with the folder in the die-cutting machine first.  Then used sponge daubers to color the White CS.  I highly recommend you use pastel colors for this for the best results. It's much more forgiving!

    I used the Poppy dies for the greeting layer.

    And the last technique is to add ink directly onto the folder itself; before you run it through.  Press your ink pad lightly to the side of the folder you want inked.  Do this lightly to avoid getting ink in the recesses of the folder.  Again; watch my video for more tips!
