Coneflower Celebration with the Awesome Sunflower Embossing Folder Technique-Ink Directly to Folder

Sunflower-embossing-folder-ink-to-folder-Coneflower-Celebration-Stampin-Up

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I want to share an easy and elegant card made with the Sunflower Embossing Folder and the Coneflower Celebration Bundle. I'll show you a technique where you apply your ink before embossing your cardstock.

At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom.

Here is the front of the card. This is an easel card, one of my favorite folds. You just score the 11" x 4 1/4" card base at 5 1/2" and 2 3/4". Look at that beautiful Sunflower Embossing Folder peeking out from behind the coneflower!

This view shows the easel fold.

Now let's look at how to achieve the look. I patted the Balmy Blue ink pad all over the Sunflower Embossing Folder. If you want to make it a little lighter and to smooth the ink out, you could run a brayer across the embossing folder before you run it through your embossing machine. I ended up not doing this step in my classes and on the video and liked my results better.

Using these colors, I used daubers to color in the flowers and leaves. (Pecan Pie and Crumb Cake for the flower centers, Granny Apple Green for the leaves, and Lemon Lolly and/or Daffodil Delight for the petals.

The results.

Next, adhere the coneflower to the card front. I used Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lolly for the petal die.

The sentiment was stamped in Balmy Blue, and it came from the Coneflower Celebration stamp set. The pieces were cut with the dies from Textured Notes. (I love this set!) Make sure you put both of these pieces on dimensionals so they will hold the easel up.

One last look!

Learn to Heat Emboss and Color on Vellum with Blends using the Charming Day Bunde

Charming-Day-Bundle-Vellum-Heat-Embossing-Blends-Stampin-Up

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I want to share an easy and elegant card made with the Charming Day Dies and stamp set. A technique I used was heat embossing on vellum and coloring with Blends.

Here is the front of the card. The Floral Charm Designer Series Paper is the pretty piece on the right. The Cloud Cover piece on the left was cut with a die from the Fancy Borders dies, then embossed with one of the Glass and Garden Embossing Folders.

Here's a closer look at the embossed area. The leaves were cut with dies from Charming Day out of Lost Lagoon. The Misty Moonlight pods were punched with the Bough Punch.

The roses and leaves were heat embossed on vellum with white embossing powder. I then turned this piece over and colored the back with Dark Lost Lagoon and Light and Dark Blackberry Bliss. It was then cut with the coordinating die from Charming Day Dies. A Basic White piece was cut with the same die and adhered behind the vellum piece to help the colors pop. I demonstrate this in my video. It was then adhered to the card front with dimensionals.

The inside was cut from Bubble Bath with a die from Textured Notes dies. The sentiment and flower were stamped in Blackberry Bliss and are in the Charming Day Stamp Set.

Another look at the front.
