The Layered Floral 3D Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up! used to make 3 cards for my May 2024 classes

Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder Classes

Today I am sharing the cards designed for my May classes using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder and 3 different techniques.

Colours used in these projects are:

 

Reverse Embossing Technique Card

Lemon Lolly card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5¼” by 3½” – Embossed using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Basic White – 3¼” by 2¼” – for die-cutting a label using the Nested Essentials Dies

 

We placed the embossed panel, face down with the debossed side facing up, onto grid paper (any scrap paper would do) and using a Sponge Dauber coloured in the large flower petal with Gorgeous Grape ink. There is no need to be neat or to stay within the petals.

Next, using a different Sponge Daubers we added Granny Apple Green to all the leaves and Lemon Lolly to the large flower centres and all the smaller flowers. At this point the embossed panel looks like a hot mess!

Then the fun started. We took a well inked Memento Tuxedo Black ink and swiped it multiple times across inked panel. The result is amazing, the bright flowers and leaves really pop out of the black background. This panel was then set aside to dry, this takes 5 – 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, we stamped the sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set onto the die cut label using Gorgeous Grape ink and set it aside.

When the embossed panel was dry it was adhered to the 5⅜” by 3⅝” layer of Basic White card. A length of Glittered Organdy Ribbon was wrapped around the panel and secured on the back with Sellotape.

Today I am sharing the cards I designed for my first Class in the Mail. I used the lovely Paper Blooms designer Series Paper to make the cards. This is one of the free choices from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure with a £45 order.

As per Stampin’ Up! Policy no stamped images or sentiments were included and the ladies taking the class used what they had to hand.

Graceful card stamp set by Stampin' Up! for a lovely rose themed girlie card

Graceful Garden used for the Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop

Welcome to the April Stamp ‘n Hop blog hop which this month is focusing on girlie cards. If you have joined me from the lovely Laura I am sure you loved the project she shared with us. For my card today I have chosen to use the Graceful Garden stamp set, after all what girl doesn’t love a rose.

Making the Graceful Garden card

You will need;
Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅝” – scored at 4⅛” and with an 1” cut off the left hand front panel.
Granny Apple Green – 5½” by 2⅞” – round the upper left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 2¾” – round the upper left corner
Wood Textures dsp – 5⅞” by ¾”

I began by stamping the large rose image onto the Whisper White panel using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I rounded the upper right corner of the panel with the Detailed Trio Punch and set it to one side to allow the ink to dry.

The Nothing Sweeter stamp set used for a girls birthday card

A Nothing Sweeter Birthday

A couple of month’s ago I made a birthday card for my brother in law using the Nothing Sweeter stamp set , I liked it so much that I have made a girlie version today.

Girlie Nothing Sweeter Birthday Card

I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅛” by 3⅜”. Using the scalloped die from the Sweetly Stitched Framelit dies and my Big Shot, I embossed it 3 times along the bottom of the panel.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – Nothing Sweeter stamp set used for a female birthday card

I rounded the upper left corner using the Detailed Trio Punch and added the panel to a Daffodil Delight layer with a rounded upper left corner, measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”. I wrapped a piece of ⅛” Lovely Lipstick Grosgrain Ribbon around the panel above the scalloped embossing securing it on the back with Sellotape and added a bow with a Mini Dimensional. The panel was then added to a Lovely Lipstick card base with a rounded upper left corner using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Next I stamped the parcels onto some scrap Whisper White in Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove and Daffodil Delight inks. The outer part of the parcel was stamped in full strength, 1st generation ink. Inside each parcel was stamped in 2nd generation ink, ie stamped off once to give a lighter shade. The stripes were added in the 1st generation ink. The parcels were then die cut using the Sweetly Stitched dies and the Big Shot.

The die cut parcels were then added to the card front, the Grapefruit Grove and Daffodil Delight parcels with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the Lovely Lipstick parcel with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment from the Hand Delivered stamp set was stamped in Daffodil Delight ink onto a ⅜ strip of Whisper White which was trimmed to fit and added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. To finish I added a scattering of Glitter Enamel Dots for a bit of sparkle.

I love the summery colours of this card, so refreshing after all the Christmas colours.

Springtime Impressions thinlits coloured with inks and used as a stencil

Springtime Impressions Thinlits used 2 ways

I’ve been having such fun today playing with the gorgeous Springtime Impressions Thinlit dies and lots of lovely Spring/Summer colours. This fab die set is available as a bundle with the Abstract Impressions stamp set at a 10% discount in my online shop. For the cards today I have only used the Springtime Impressions Thinlit Dies.

Card 1

I began by taking the large, detailed floral corner die and running it through my Big Shot. I used Whisper White cardstock and following Stampin’ Up’s! latest advice I ran it through the Big Shot with the cutting side facing up and It cut like a dream and was so much easier to get out of the die.

Springtime Impressions thinlits used as a stencil

I then took a panel of Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” and laid the intricate die cut on top and slightly overlapping the bottom left corner. I then opened up my Berry Burst, Flirty Flamingo, Powder Pink, Highland Heather, So Saffron and Granny Apple Green ink pads and using a Sponge Dauber for each colour I coloured in the flowers and leaves making sure to tap the ink on and not to rub at all. I held the die cut firmly in place with a finger as I didn’t want it to move.  When I lifted the die cut piece away it revealed a gorgeous stencilled image. I just love these colours together. I then rounded the upper right corner with the Detailed Trio Punch.

I added a strip of Flirty Flamingo ruched ribbon which has retired and adhered it to the back using Sellotape. The sentiment comes from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and was stamped on scrap Whisper White cardstock in Granny Apple Green ink and I die cut using  one of the sweet labels from the Lakeside Framelits. I die cut one end then the other to give a shorter banner. I repeated this technique with a scrap of Granny Apple Green cardstock and adhered the 2 together with Tombow Liquid Adhesive and adhered over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This panel was then added to a layer of Granny Apple Green cardstock 5½” by 3¾” after rounding the upper right corner and added to a Thick Whisper White card base with Tombow having again rounded the upper right corner.

Card 2

For the second card I took the coloured in die cut and added it to a Whisper White panel 5⅜” by 3⅝” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. As the die cut is so detailed I like to add the glue to the back with a small piece Stampin’ Sponge. I add a blob of glue to my Silicon Craft Sheet and pick it up with the sponge then dab the glue all over.

I stamped the same sentiment in Flirty Flamingo ink and rounded the lower right corner with the Detailed Trio Punch. I added this layer to a panel of Flirty Flamingo cardstock 5½” by 3¾” with a rounded lower right corner using Tombow. The whole panel was then added to a So Saffron card base, also with rounded lower right corners, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I love these pretty feminine cards, hope you like them.
