Gray Granite and Country Floral Embossing Folder for fast easy cards

  • Stampin' Up! Country Floral Embossing Folder
  • Story Label Punch
  • Two classes to choose from March 10, 2019

Stampin' Up! Gray Granite & Country Floral


Here's a fast, simple card that you can put together in minutes using the new Country Floral Embossing Folder and the Story Label Punch.   Make up a number of these base cards, then stamp a selection of different sentiments and add them to your stash of ready-to-go cards.  Then, you'll be ready for any last-minute greeting card needs.  

With all the new products introduced as part of the second and  third Sale-A-Bration release, my two favorites are these two items -- Country Floral Embossing Folder and the Story Label Punch.  They can be dressed up with very little effort or left plain and simple, like today's cards.  See the item numbers below and add them to your wish list today.   



The basecard for this card is Thick Whisper White.  Then a layer of Gray Granite.   Then a Layer of Whisper White dry embossed with the Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder..     

  

Then, I cut a piece of the 1/2" Gray Granite Textured Weave Ribbon, which is a lightly textured ribbon with white stitched edges from the annual catalog.  This is a beautiful, warm shade of gray with a slight brownish undertone, matching the Gray Granite cardstock perfectly.        



The sentiments from this card was stamp using one stamps from the Humming Along and Climbing Roses stamp sets.  The sentiments were stamped in Gray Granite ink on Whisper White and then punched out using the Story Label Punch.

The mat around the Whisper White Label is Gray Granite Cardstock.  It was created by cutting the Gray Granite punched shape in half horizontally and then attaching it to the back of the Whisper White sentiment.

The sentiments are accented with Silver Metallic Pearls colored with Dark Gray Granite Blends Marker to match the card.

Stampin' Up! Country Florals Embossing Folder

  • Stampin' Up! Country Florals free Sale-A-Bration Selection
  • Embossing Folders create fast, easy cards
  • Embossing Folders Technique class March 3

Stampin' Up! Country Florals Embossing Folder


Today's card showcases one of the Embossing Folder techniques I'm using in my March 3 card class.  More info below.  It uses the newly released, free Sale-A-Bration selection -- the Stampin' Up! Country Florals Embossing Folder. This stunning embossing folder is one of the Dynamic Textured Embossing Folders, which is thicker than the traditional embossing folders and creates thicker embossed images.  That means the flowers and leaves in this embossing folder show up very nicely.  Paired with the Soft Sea Foam cardstock, this embossing folder creates a beautiful background for a simple, fast greeting card. The Country Florals embossing folder is a free selection from the second-release Sale-A-Bration Brochure which you can download here.   




I used a basecard of Soft Sea Foam, then a layer of Whisper White.  Before I ran the Whisper White layer through the Country Florals Embossing folder and Big Shot, I inked the side of the folder with the Stampin' Up! logo with Soft Sea Foam ink.  Then I inserted my Whisper White Layer and ran it through the Big Shot.    





Then I tied a length of Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle ribbon into a triple-looped bow and looped the ends around the back side of the embossed layer.           

  


I selected a sentiment from the Butterfly Gala stamp set and then selected two Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies that fit this sentiment.  Using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies, I cut a mat of Granny Apple Green for a Soft Sea Foam layer, which was cut with the a smaller Rectangle Die.  The sentiment was stamped in Granny Apple Green Ink.  This card takes just minutes to create and is perfect when you need a thank you card or birthday card but don't have a lot of time.  I love working with Embossing Folders because they look impressive, with very little effort.

You're sure to find lots of uses for the Stampin' Up! Country Florals Embossing Folder this spring.  Place a $50 order today, and this can be your free Sale-A-Bration selection from the Sale-A-Bration Brochures.
