A gorgeous floral thank you card made using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up! and the reverse embossing technique

Reverse Embossing with Layered Florals

Today I have been trying out a technique that is new to me …….. and I LOVE it! I saw fellow demonstrator Tina Zinck demonstrate this on Youtube and couldn’t wait to try it. I use the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder to make my card.

Colours in this project are:

 

To recreate the layered florals card, you will need:

Fresh Freesia card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Lemon Lolly card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Scrap Basic White

 

I embossed one of the 5½” by 3¾” panels of Basic White card using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder.

The embossed panel was then placed face down on my desk. I added colour to the petals of the larger flowers with Fresh Freesia ink. Tina used small Blending Brushes but I used Sponge Daubers and they seemed to work just as well.

I then repeatedly ran my Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad all over the reverse side of the embossed panel to build up the depth of colour. Love how the dark ink makes the bright colours pop out.

Using Lemon Lolly Baker’s Twine and an embroidery needle I stitched around the die cut circle. Annoyingly, I had smeared the the sentiment whilst stitching……..urghhh. After a lot of fiddling around,  I stamped the sentiment again onto the scarp Basic White card and die cut it with the smallest circle dies from the same set. This was glued over the smeared ink and the stitching still looked great. Win, win.

A trio of adhesive backed Solid Gems finished the card.

German/French Inspiration card – World Languages Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the World Languages Blog Hop where we are – not surprisingly – sharing projects featuring a language not our own.

To recreate the German Inspirations card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 4⅛” by 3”
Berry Burst card – 4¼” by 3⅛”
Basic White card – 4⅜” by 3¼”

I used the Mini Alphabet Dies to die cut the letters I needed from scrap Basic Black card. The word DANKE was added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. If I had had my wits about me I would have added some Adhesive Sheet to the back of the scrap card .

A pretty, floral thank you card made using the Painted Lavender stamp set and the Everyday Details Dies from Stampin' Up!

Simple Lavender card

Today I am sharing a pretty, simple lavender card inspired by a card I saw on Youtube created by Barry Selwood of Mitosu crafts.

Colours in this project are:

 

To recreate the simple lavender card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 3”
Gorgeous Grape – 2” by ¼”
Scrap Basic White card

 

I inked up the spray of flowers with Highland Heather ink and added some Gorgeous Grape ink with a Stamp ‘N Write Marker to give a two toned effect and stamped down on scrap Basic White card.

The bunch of stems was stamped in Granny Apple Green ink onto the same scrap Basic White card and both the stems and the flowers were die cut using the Painted Lavender Dies. I glued the stems to the spray of flowers.

I laid the die cut rectangle onto the card front, after a little thought I stamped the leafy spray in Granny Apple Green ink in the upper left corner corner of the card front and added the panel on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Gorgeous Grape card, covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with a Heat Tool. It was added to the card front with glue.
