How to Emboss Vellum with the Fun Patterns Embossing Folder

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I want to share a pretty card with you where I embossed on vellum. Sadly, Stampin' Up no longer carries vellum, so when you go looking for some, make sure you get the one that is cardstock and not paper. It really makes a lot of difference the thicker it is.

I am going to share some pictures of the card, then provide a link to a free download and also a video demonstrating the construction of this card.

Lemon Lolly cardstock was used or the card base. In this picture it looks brighter than Lemon Lolly, but Lemon Lolly is a very soft yellow.

A die from the Nested Essentials Dies was used for the sentiment. The sentiment, that was stamped in Basic Gray, is an Online Exclusive called Sweetly Scripted. I really like this stamp set!

I use the dies from the Simply Zinnia Dies to make my flower.

Here's a closeup of the pattern the Fun Patterns Embossing Folder makes on the vellum.

This is how I completed the inside.

More Details about the Monthly Crafty Toolbox

What is a Crafty Toolbox?

It's a collection of Stampin' Up! crafting supplies you'll need to complete your crafting projects! An assortment of current crafting supplies such as embellishments, ribbons, adhesives, spritzers, glue dots, water painter, daubers, Blender Pens, embossing powders, envelopes, etc. will be inside each kit. You  don’t know what you’ll get each month. It will be a happy surprise!

How often will I receive the Toolbox?

Each month you will receive an assortment of products valued at $20 or more. 

Will there be any recurring products?

Yes, there are. What you WILL receive each month is one Blends Combo Pack (a different color each month) and a sheet of dimensionals (total $10 value). I’ll also send you one handmade card.

There is also another option. You can choose to receive an ink spot with the matching reinker instead of a Blends Combo. Yay, choices!!

How long am I obligated?

There is no obligation, BUT, for every 6 months you subscribe, you will receive a special gift valued at around $10. You can stop your subscription at any time. 

How much does it cost?

This happy little toolbox is only $25, which includes $5 for shipping, so you’re getting $25 in supplies for $20! If you live locally and will pick up your Toolbox, then the cost is $20.

How do I pay?

Payment is by PayPal, check, or cash. If paying by check, your Toolbox will be mailed after your check clears.

What is the deadline to sign up each month?

Orders and payments need to be placed by the 15^th of each month. Your Toolbox will be mailed around the 25^th.

How do I sign up?

Click on the box below to fill out the form to sign up. You will need to pick the option to subscribe for 6 months or month to month. With either option, you will receive an invoice each month to pay for that month's Toolbox.

Country Birdhouse is one of the new bundles in the catalog and immediately caught my eye! I want to share my version with you. I decided to make this an easel card and also a Mother's Day Card, but it would also serve as a beautiful birthday card. Below are pictures highlighting my card, and underneath the pictures you will find links for a free tutorial and also a link to my YouTube Channel where you can watch a demonstration of this card.
