Country Floral Birthday

Hey Crafty Friends!! One of my absolute favorite embossing folders has to be the Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder.  The deeply engraved details just speak to me.  It is a folder that stands alone, it does not need to be paired with DSP, punched flowers, or minimized in anyway.  It looks good in any color, just a beautiful folder.  Today I have pink birthday card to share.


Card Details

  • Paper
    • Blushing Bride 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score and fold 4 1/4"
    • Whisper White 4 1/8' x 5 3 /8", embossed layer
  • Stamps
    • Beautiful Friendship
  • Ink
    • Blushing Bride 
    • Basic Gray
  • Embellisments/Tools
    • Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder
    • Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon
    • Everyday Label Punch

Tip: I used a craft ink blending brush to apply the ink to the embossed layer using a "dry brushing" technique.  The ink can be applied as light or as heavy as desired.  Sponges, daubers and ink appled directly to embossing folder work as well.  The card below is brushed lighter than one above.


Take a look at all these bargains.  Get them before they are gone for good!!

Simply Ornate

Hey Crafty Friends!!  Today is a quick card using the Ornate Style and Ornate Thanks stamps set with some ink, watercolor paper and a bit of water. Enjoy!!


Card Details
  • Paper
    • Old Olive 11" x 4 1/4", score and fold at 5 1/2"
    • Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper 3 1/4" x 4 1/2", 2 x 4 for sentiment
  • Stamps
    • Ornate Style #152572
    • Ornate Garden #149471

TIP: This stamping technique is so easy and can be done with most stamps.  Apply the ink to the stamp, spritz lightly with water and stamp on watercolor paper.  The more water you apply the more the ink spreads.  One of my favorite techiniques.
