So Swirly Embossing Folder

Welcome again,

I have made my own “designer paper” for the background of this card, using the So Swirly Embossing Folder (#163791) and heat embossing with Gold Wow! Embossing powder (#165678).

I added VersaMark (#102283) to the inside of the front of the embossing folder, then embossed a piece of Very Vanilla card (#106550). I added the Gold embossing powder to the card and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). As this is a large embossing folder I used a piece of card the same size as the folder so I had plenty of area to punch the pieces with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch (#162888).

I attached the punched pieces to a piece of Basic Black card (#121688) measuring 9x13.4cm. The hexagons overlapping the edges were cut off level to the black card. I then used another piece of Basic Black card measuring 9.5cmx13.9cm to matt the card. I found this the easiest way to get the edges cut evenly and still have the black all the way around the outside. The cardfront was then attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

The flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (#161140) and the sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set (#161290) were stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). I did this with the Stamparatus. After cleaning the stamp and not moving the card or stamp, I re-inked with VersaMark, then added Clear Wow! Embossing Powder (#165679). This was set with the Heat Tool.

The leaves from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set were stamped and embossed in the same way, using Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) and Lost Lagoon ink (#161678). The flower and leaves were cut with the Irresistible Blooms dies (#161149).

The sentiment was cut with a Cheerful Daisies die (#161296). The flower, sentiment and Pretty Peacock leaves were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the Lost Lagoon leaves.

Changing Leaves

Hello again,

Tomorrow (3rd July) there will be a more new Online Exclusive products available and one of the products is the Changing Leaves Bundle (#164139). This bundle includes the Changing Leaves stamp set (#164351) and the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder (#164138). This hybrid embossing folder includes the folder as well as the dies. The folder can be used alone or add the dies by snapping the die into the folder and when this is run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with card, you have cut & embossed leaves.

I have just used the embossing folder to dry emboss the Soft Sea Foam card front (#147012). I stamped the leaves using Old Olive ink (#147090) on Old Olive card (#106576), and Crushed Curry ink (#147087) on Crushed Curry card (#131288). These leaves and the detailed leaves are all cut with the dies. The card stock for these leaves are Cherry Cobbler (#121681), Mossy Meadow (#133683) and Pecan Pie (#161726). I had backed these cards with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting with the dies.

I attached all the detailed die cut leaves to the card front and the stamped leaves were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The sentiment is from the Changing Leaves stamp set and I used Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083), then used a Changing Leaves die to cut it. The embellishments are the retired Adhesive-Backed Cork Dies.

All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi my friends,

The designer paper used on this card is from the All About Autumn 6”x6” Specialty Designer Series Paper ($162178). There is a beautiful range of designs suitable for a range of cards and includes copper foil on the geometric designs.

I attached the 2 pieces of DSP to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). For the leaves I randomly added colours to a piece of card using Blending Brushes (#153611). The inks used are Old Olive (#147090), Pecan Pie (#161665), Daffodil Delight (#147094) and Pumpkin Pie (#147086). The leaves were cut with a die from the Autumn Leaves Dies (#162185). These were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Thinking of You” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink, then cut with a Something Fancy die (#160424). This was also attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I always say it is so easy to make a quick & easy card with such beautiful Designer Series Papers.
