Stampin' Up! Sunflower 3D folder

7/9/2025

I love the new Sunflower 3-D embossing folder! So many fun ways to use it but I did a lot of what I call the black ice technique. The folder is large so you can do a full 1/2 sheet of paper at once.

These were both made with one piece that I embossed and colored and then cut in half. You can check out how I created them on Facebook or Instagram.

I loved adding the checked ribbon to this one and really thought the black card stock made it pop! And I don't know about you but I seem to need SO many birthday cards. I guess it's a great thing I have so many people to celebrate.

Here's another look at the same piece but on yellow. Which do you like better?

I LOVE how it looks in just black and white. Wow! You can really see the details in the embossed images.

Two shades of yellow--is there a more perfect color for sunflowers?

Do not sleep on this folder. It is so much fun to use.

Stampin' Up! Coneflower Celebration

6/1/2025

0 Comments

I am in love with the Coneflower Celebration bundle! I know we all probably think we can't possibly need another flower set but this one is amazing! I'm pretty sure I always say that but wait until you see what I've created.

For this first card I stamped directly on my Designer Series Paper. I love the soft color of Peral Pink and the new scalloped ribbon is so nice.

I love a good monochromatic card. Especially one in blue! My favorite color.

This card actually came about because I glued the pieces upside down on the first card I was trying to make. Shake my head! So I cut the front off and played around with it. I decided to cut it in half and only use one piece. The "thank you" is from a retired set. The piece was laying on my desk and I thought it worked perfectly!

The original blue pieces were each 4 1/4 x 2 1/2 mounted on white card stock.

Stampin' Up! Changing Leaves Card Ideas

12/18/2024

0 Comments

The hybrid embossing folders that Stampin' Up! introduced in the past couple of years are so cool. Being able to emboss and die cut in one pass through the machine is wonderful.

Pairing this hybrid folder with the beautiful Full of Life Designer Series Paper gives you ombre options with no hard work!

I created this simple thank you card by adding some color to my white background with a Blending Brush. Simple, clean but so pretty with the varied colors in the paper.

Have you tried the Hybrid Embossing folders? I was skeptical at first about being able to cut and emboss in one pass of the machine but it works and is so easy!

Amazing Silhouettes

I was not really a huge fan of these stamps until I saw this idea shared by Chelsey Christensen. By outlining it with marker it totally changes the look! It's a simple technique with a big wow factor.

We actually made this version in class recently. It creates a great masculine or sympathy card.

Mother’s Day Card Ideas

4/21/2021

0 Comments

Mother's Day will be here before we know it! Time to start making those cards.

White heat embossing on black card stock gives such an elegant look to your sentiment.

This was a simple card to put together because I let the Designer Series Paper do the work! Simply cut it to your desired size and mount on a piece of coordinating card stock that is either a 1/4 or 1/8 in larger depending on your preference.

I'm still loving the butterflies! Twine is my most used embellishment. I love that it adds a little something to a card but does not add a lot of bulk.

I am sad that Strong and Beautiful is going away this month. It has so many great sayings for the women in our lives. I used it on both of these cards.

Sweet Strawberry and Blending Brushes

2/4/2021

I love the new blending brushes. With just a little practice and pressure you can add subtle color to your card. Mango Melody is such a pretty color!

The sentiment is from a retired stamp set but it was perfect for what I needed.

The vine from Sweet Strawberry was perfect to layer on top of the subtle color from the blending brush.

Twine is always my go to. I reach for it way more than ribbon and I don't know why! I just love it. It's not bulky and adds the right touch to so many cards.

Berry Delightfull is Truly Delightful

The bright bold colors and designs in this paper makes me smile. This Designer Series Paper (DSP) (along with the coordinating stamp set Berry Blessings) is a Sale a-Bration offering through the end of February. You can earn it for FREE with a $100 Stampin' Up! purchase. Shop here! It also coordinates with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle found in the January-June Mini Catalog.

Allowing the paper to do the work makes these very quick and easy cards to make. I'm also a sucker for a good pun!

TIP: When I get ready to heat emboss I like to do a lot at one time. I grab a stack of Basic Black scraps, my stamps and my Versamark and pull out the embossing powder and heat tool. Since it's a bit of work to get it all set up I prefer to make it count!

TIP: Cutting your 12x12 DSP to 4 x 5.25 pieces make it the perfect size for layering on a card front. It also gets me to use it instead of letting it pile up!
