How To Add Color With Embossing Folders -Stampin' Up! 2021 Artisan Design Team- Art In Bloom Bundle

Hello My Crafting Friends,

Today I am sharing my second Stampin’ Up 2021 Artisan Design Team showcase project for June 2021. 

For this card I wanted to focus on using the Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder and how you use it with the coordinating Bloom Dies. This embossing folder can both cut and emboss the flowers at the same time! I really wanted the flowers to be the star of the show for this handmade card; and so I added color to them with a fun technique. I hope you enjoy this tutorial and that it inspires you to create something beautiful today.

1- Begin by adding ink to the front inside (side with the Stampin’ Up Logo) of the Blooms Hybrid Embossing Folder. Start with Petal Pink Ink and a Sponge Dauber and add color to each of the flowers. Add Bumblebee Ink to the center of each flower. Then do the same with Pear Pizzazz and a different Sponge Dauber on three of the leaves.

2- Lightly spritz the 4 ½” x 6” Basic White Cardstock with water using a Stampin’ Spritzer. Then place the paper so the wet side will be touching the ink in the Embossing Powder. Place the coordinating die that cuts out the three flowers over the flowers on the front side of the folder. Then close the folder and run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

3- Fussy cut out the three leaves.

4- If you want more color to each piece add a light watercolor wash in matching ink to the die cut pieces. Let dry.

5- Clean the Embossing Folder with water. Then emboss the 4” x 5 ¼” Basic White Cardstock. Add this to the center of the Petal Pink cardstock. Place the Soft Succulent Shimmer Vellum to the left. The top edge touches the top of the Basic White piece and there is about 1/8” of White peeking on the left. Add adhesive in the center where the other elements will go.

6- Stamp the 2” x 5” Basic White piece with the Decorative Line Image in Bumblebee Ink. Creating two lines that go across the piece. Then die cut out with the Long Banner Die from the Blooms Dies. Place these two pieces horizontally in the center of the card.

7- Stamp the Small Flower Image in Petal Pink Ink on the Petal Pink piece. Then cut out the Ticket Die. Add this with dimensionals above the Bumblebee strips and to the left of the card.

8- Arrange the Embossed Flowers and Leaves around the Petal Pink Ticket & Bumblebee Strips. Adhere with dimensionals.

9- Stamp the greeting “Dear Friend” on the 3/8” strip in Memento Black Ink. Wrap 16” of Silver Trim into a spiral and adhere it to the back of the greeting. Add this to the card in the center of the Ticket with dimensionals.

10- Add some of the Diamond Shaped Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials to the card.

All Done!
