Did you see the video I posted on Monday - with 14 cards made using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set? If not CLICK HERE to see it. Today I want to feature the two cards that are made using embossing folders that will be retiring on May 3. These are two embossing folders that add beautiful details to cards and I would not want you to miss out on getting them! They are both on sale - while supplies last or until May3 (which ever occurs first.)
I used the Scripty embossing folder to make the card shown above. It is a 6x6 folder with lines of cursive writing. It is just so beautiful and adds a bit of elegance to the card.
Basic directions for making this card:
- Gorgeous Grape card base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2
- Basic White card stock 4 x 5-1/4, embossed using the Scripty embossing folder
- Designer Series Paper strips (3 of them ) 1/2 x 4
- Stamp the hydrangea on a piece of Basic White card stock using Memento Ink; stamp the "fill" for the leaves and stem using Old Olive ink then use die to cut out the entire flower
- Cut a flower head from a piece of Hydrangea Hill designer series paper using the detailed die
- Cut an "outline" of the flower head from Highland Heather card stock - and placed it behing the designer series paper piece.
- Layer all pieces on the card base using the photo as a guide.
- Add Pastel Pearls, if desired
For the card above, I used the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder. This is one of my absolute favorites. If you could see this in real life - you would see that it amost sparkles, like a real diamond. Again, it is such an easy way to add elegance to any card.
Basic Directions for making this card:
- Highland Heather card base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2
- Gorgeous Grape mat layer 4 x 5-1/4
- Basic White embossed layer 3-3/4 x 5
- Wrap Gorgeous Grape ribbon around the white layer and tie in a bow
- Purple Posty label, cut with Stitched Nested Label die
- Greeting is from Best Year stamp set
- Flowers are cut (using scissors) from a piece of Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper
- Layer all pieces on the card base using the photo as a guide.
- Add Pastel Pearls, if desired
You will need a Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine from Stampin' Up! or other comparable machine, to use the embossing folders. Below are some of the products featured on these cards.
