Fabulous Florets Embossed Flowers Card


I love the flowers in the new Fabulous Florets stamp set. They are beautiful and they make beautiful cards! I embossed the flowers with the new melon mambo and tangerine tango embossing powders from the Summer Mini Catalog. I cut them out and arranged them on the card. I added a strip of the new Beyond the Garden designer series paper and some white satin ribbon tied with some linen thread.

Double Embossed Card

Ready to try some double embossing? This is a fun easy way to really make a stunning card! I started by inking my embossing folder on one side with versamark and running the newsprint dsp through the Big Shot. I then used black embossing powder and the heat gun to emboss the paper again.

To create the flower I punched out three rich razzleberry pieces with the fancy flower punch and spritzed them with water, crinkled them up, uncrinkled them and added an embossed vintage brad. I used the Build a Flower punch for the leaves.

To emboss the vintage brad, I used tweezers to ink the top of the brad with versamark and then dipped it in black embossing powder and then used the heat gun to melt the powder.

I used the Notably Ornate stamp set and the Solid Stripes Stamp for the top of the card and added some Rich Razzleberry grosgrain and taffeta ribbon across the card.

In Color Ribbon Sample Pack


Here is a great little gift idea: a ribbon sampler pack! I cut some mat board and wound some In Color ribbon around it fastened with a small pin in the back. I added a top note die and used the Four Frames and Great Friend stamp set with the decorative label punch.
