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:

BBQ Master Pop-Up Grill Father's Day/Birthday Card

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I'm sharing a card made with the BBQ Master Bundle with a surprise pop-up grill inside. This card could be given on Father's Day or just a birthday card. 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. Check it out. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom. Let's look at a few details of this card.

On the front of the card, I took a piece Poppy Parade card stock, 4" x 5 1/4", and punched out the upper corners with the Modern Oval Punch to make the arm holes. It was embossed with the Perfectly Plaid embossing folder.

Here is the pop-up arch with a grill oni it.

This side view shows the small box that is the mechanism to pop-up the arch.

After punching out the corners for the arm holes, I stamped some of the images from the BBQ Master stamp set on the corners in Smoky Slate.

If you watch the video, you will see that I changed how I made the cooking utensils. My printed tutorial instructs you to stamp these utensils on Poppy Parade with VersaMark, heat emboss in silver embossing powder and cut with the coordinating dies. I changed this in my classes, and we just cut the utensils out of Lunar Lustre Specialty paper.  That is the way I demonstrated it on the video.

I also changed the grill. Printed tutorial shows heat embossing it with black embossing powder, but we found just stamping it with Secret Sea gave us better results. The flame was stamped in Crushed Curry, then inked the bottom with Poppy Parade and stamped again.

This is the cutest little hamburger!
