Saturday Blog Hop – Embossing Folder Technique

By | 2 Comments

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  This week our theme is “Embossing Folder Techniques”.  This should be lots of fun and give you some great technique ideas!

BLOOMING PHRASES

Well, I’m quite on the kick about using this new Online Exclusive, Blooming Phrases!  The scripty greetings are so pretty…and really are the focal point!  One of the main ways I like to use vellum is embossing on it…but SU doesn’t carry plain vellum anymore.  So, I wondered what it would look like on a printed vellum!  I’d say it worked out REALLY well!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Summer Splash cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pool Party cardstock was added on top.
  • The 2-3/4 x 5-1/4 piece of Floral & Gingham Vellum was embossed with the new floral Glass & Gardens Embossing Folder.  It was added to the front with Mini Glue Dots in each corner and along the side.  LOVE how it appears white when embossed!
  • A 1 x 4 piece of Basic White cardstock was stamped with the Blooming Phrases greeting in Summer Splash Ink and the leaves with Granny Apple Green Ink.  The flower was stamped with Strawberry Slush Ink on scrap Basic White cardstock and hand-cut, then added to the stem with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Some Gold Striped 3/8″ Mesh Ribbon was tied in a knot and added to the stem with a Mini Glue Dot.

A very fun embossing technique!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!

We’re continuing our theme of Gardens this month with our Creatively Simple challenge!

BLOOMING PHRASES

On Saturday, I mentioned I had a second card made with retiring In Colors, Wildly Flowering DSP and the new online exclusive, Blooming Phrases, coming the first of May.  The first one was Moody Mauve, and here’s the second card I made featuring Boho Blue!  This one fit our Garden challenge!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Boho Blue cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 3-3/4 x 5 piece of Wildly Flowering DSP was added to the front.
  • The coordinating Crumb Cake Wildly Flowering DSP print was cut 1-1/4 x 3-3/4 and added across the front.
  • The Blooming Phrases greeting was stamped with Pebbled Path Ink on the front and the flower with Boho Blue Ink.  The little leaves were stamped with Wild Wheat Ink.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Some 2023-25 In Color Jute Twine was tied in a bow and added to the stem with a Mini Glue Dot.
  • Two Wild Wheat 2023-25 In Color Opaque Sparkle Dots were added under the greeting.

 

Super simple…but the DSP packs a lot of WOW!  OK, check out Debbie’s new Creatively Simple card over on Create with Stamping Friends!

Saturday Blog Hop – Outgoing In Colors

By | Leave a Comment

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  This week our theme is “Outgoing In Colors”.  The 2023-25 In Colors are retiring the beginning of May.  What was your favorite?  Our Design Team will be showing their favorites this week as the feature on their card.

BLOOMING PHRASES

I ended up making two cards with different retiring colors using the same Blooming Phrases stamp set (a new online exclusive coming next month) and the Wildly Flowering Designer Paper.  For this card I used the retiring In Color, Moody Mauve.  Make sure to check out next Tuesday’s Creatively Simple card for the second card I made!  This Blooming Phrases stamp set appealed to me with the long “tails” on the greetings that you can add different shapes of flowers!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Moody Mauve cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pebbled Bath cardstock was added on top.
  • The 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Wildly Flowering DSP was placed next.
  • Two leaf branches were cut with the Thankful Garden Dies from Wild Wheat cardstock and added to the front.
  • The Blooming Phrases greeting was stamped with Wild Wheat Ink on 1 x 4-1/4 strip of Basic White cardstock.  The flowers at the end were stamped with Moody Mauve Ink.  This was added over the leaves with Stampin’ Dimensionals towards the right side.
  • Two 2023-25 In Color Opaque Sparkle Dots were added under the greeting on the left side.

 

Isn’t that a fun greeting?  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
