pretty flowers 3D embossing folder

How many ways can you use this gorgeous 3D Embossing Folder? Well, the possibilities are endless! Yesterday I did my weekly Facebook LIVE showing just a few of the MANY ways to use this very pretty folder. One of the new 3D folders in the latest annual catalog this Pretty Flowers 3D embossing folder has endless possibilities (#155428).

I started with Shimmery White cardstock (#101910) cut to 4″ x 5 1/4″ and embossed in the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine (#149653) with the new Pretty Flowers Folder.

The first sample below I used Sponge Daubers (#133773) and direct to the folder on the side with the Stampin’ Up! logo I sponged Crushed Curry ink (#147087) onto the flower images and Pear Pizzazz ink (#147104) onto the leaf images. Using a Stampin’ Spritzer (#126185) with water inside – I spritzed the folder, added the Shimmery White Cardstock and embossed it with the Pretty Flowers folder. What you get is a subtle colored background and foreground embedded into the embossed image! I added a hello sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set (#155052) stamped in Crushed Curry ink ona Stitched Rectangles die (#151820).

The next sample I used the Blending Brushes (#153611) in the same two colors – Crushed Curry and Pear Pizzazz and colored the flowers with the Curry and the leaves with the Pear. I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set and accented the card with Artisrty Blooms adhesive-backed sequins (#152477) and Polka Dotted Tulle ribbon (which is retired – sorry).

Tis next sample uses the Stampin’ Blends in Highland Heather light (#154887) and Light Pear Pizzazz Blends (which is also retired) gently with the side of the brush tip I colored the flowers purple and leaves green. I used the thanks sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) on a Scalloped Contours die (#155560) I wrapped the top layer in Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon (#154572) and added Pastel Pearls to the Sentiment focal piece (#154571).

In this sample card, I used the Water painters (#151298) in Highland Heather ink adding water to make a watercolor wash to paint the flowers and Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) for the leaves. I added the sentiment to the Tailor Made Tags dies (#155563) and the Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon and mounted it onto Gorgeous Grape cardstock (#146987).

Using Watercolor Pencils, lightly color the flowers in pink and the leaves in green and using the Water Painters blend the color to make the color smooth. I mounted this piece onto Pear Pizzazz cardstock (#131201)

I took one of the samples that I watercolored before the video and cut it into 1/2″ sections and adhered it to a Granny Apple Green cardstock base (#146990) and added a sentiment stamped on an Ornate Layers Die (#152726) and added some Pastel Pearls and Grogeous Grape Sheer Ribbon!
