Embossing Folder Magic Technique #2 with Floral Spray Embossing Folder

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I'm sharing a card made with a fun embossing folder technique! I'm using the Floral Spray embossing older. 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. I suggest you check it out to see the transformation of the embossing folder. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom. Let's look at a few details of this card. Here is the full front.

To achieve this look, first emboss a piece of Basic White with the Floral Spray Embossing Folder. Next, on the debossed side, the side that is indented, color the flowers and leaves as below. The flower is Dark Poppy Parade, the leaves Dark Old Olive, and the yellow is Dark Daffodil Delight.

Now, here is where the magic happens. Swirl a black ink, such as Memento Tuxedo Black ink or Secret Sea, all over this piece. The colored areas won't be affected, but all the white areas will turn black, highlighting the colored areas.

This is how I completed the inside. The sentiment is a retired set called Woven Heirloom. The flower is from Simple Beautiful and stamped in Soft Sea Foam.

Here's a close-up of the flower. I had cut the flower out with a die from Sweet Words and Labels, but decided it looked better without cutting it out.

Embossing Folder Magic Technique #1 with Fern & Floral Embossing Folder and Inside Pop-Up Sentiment

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I'm sharing a card made with a fun embossing folder technique! I'm using the Fern and Floral embossing older. Also, the inside has an interesting pop-up mechanism. 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. I suggest you check it out to get a full understanding of the inside mechanism and the see the transformation of the embossing folder. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom. Let's look at a few details of this card. Here is the full front.

The first step is to emboss a piece of Basic White with the Fern & Floral Embossing folder.

Next, I swiped a Mossy Meadow ink pad all over the embossed piece on the debossed side. That way the ferns remain white. If you swiped over the embossed side, the ferns become Mossy Meadow. You can see me do this step in the video below. The ferns were cut out of Mossy Meadow with dies from the Fern & Floral bundle.

Here is the inside. The sentiment is from So Sincere, but I also used one from Phrases & Frames.

Here is a side view of the mechanism. Instead of trying to explain it, please just watch the video.

These are the pieces that I used for the mechanism.

A last look at the front.

Sunset Coast Bundle and Scenic Coast Designer Paper for my next 2 In-Person Classes

Hello and welcome to my blog. My next 2 In-Person classes are coming up beginning Thursday, June 25th for Part 1, and Thursday, July 9th for Part 2. We'll be making 3 all occasion cards in each class using the gorgeous Scenic Coast Specialty Paper and the Sunset Coast Bundle. When I saw this suite at On Stage in Long Beach, I just knew I was going to have to design a set of cards with it. The reason this is a two-part class, the pack of paper has 6 beautiful designs in each pack, so I have created cards with all 6. If possible, I am requesting that you attend both classes, so you'll have a complete set. 

Card Class cost is $25 or free with a $35 order. This includes written instructions and envelopes. The schedule for the Part 1 class is as follows:

Thursday, June 25th at 12:30

Thursday, June 25th at 5:00

Sunday, June 28th at 1:30

Monday, June 29th at 12:00

Here are the cards for the Part 1 Class:

Front View of card #1 featuring the sailboat

View from the top

The card opened up

Card #2

Card #3 featuring the lighthouse

This next group of cards is for the Part 2 Class. The schedule of that class is as follows:

Thursday, July 9th at 12:30

Thursday, July 9th at 5:00

Sunday, July 12th at 1:30

Monday, July 13th at 12:00

Card #1 featuring the sailboat

Card #2 featuring the sailboat and sunray dies

Card #3 featuring the lighthouse opened up

Card #3 Closed up to go into the envelope

Let me know as soon as possible which day and time you would like to attend card class and if you plan to attend the New Catalog Party. I do have a limited number of sets for these classes, so don't hesitate to sign up. Hope to hear from you!
