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.  

New Stampin' Up! Online Exclusives launch on Tuesday and one of them is this amazing suite featuring coffee!  If you know me you know I LOVE my coffee so this suite made me so happy.  One of the perks of being a demonstrator is getting to preorder new product before it launches to the public.  

As soon as my order arrived I started creating and planned a whole class around the suite! Many of my customers have been asking me to expand projects beyond cards so I wanted to add in some gift card holders.  I don't know about you but the most frequent gift cards I give are coffee related so this was perfect.  

This card is a fun fold and gift card holder in one! It's also one of four projects I'm featuring in my class.  This class is offered in person on March 10th and can be ordered to be delivered to you at home so you can create when you want.  

This gift card holder is created using one of our square pillow boxes.  The box is not quite big enough to hold a gift card when closed but it's perfect if you leave the top open and stuff it with tissue paper and maybe even some coffee candies? 

I love all the coordinating products in this suite from the ribbon to the embellishments.  

Want to get your hands on these great products and the class projects?  Purchase your class kit below.  

This class includes $20 in product (1/2 pack of paper, embellishments and ribbon) along with materials for four projects. These projects include a 5 x 7 piece that can be framed (frame not included), two cards including the one above plus the pillow box gift card holder. You'll receive all the paper needed but in order to complete the projects as shown you'll need the stamp and dies as well.
