Wild Bunch embossed....

 Last Bunch of the Wild Bunch.....since I do not want to tease you with a stamp set that is Sold Out.  I will have about 20 cards on the Rack this Saturday.  They keep multiplying on my craft table....and I had to EMBOSS a few backgrounds for more Texture.  Fern & Flora is currently unavailable, but grab an embossing folder from your stash and have FUN!

I love these Swirly Ferns on WHITE card stock.  I stamped the little squares and then embossed.

You can really change up the background by changing the direction of the squares!  To the Left, the right......

or Alternate!!  

See these cards and MORE at the Independence Uptown Market Saturday 8-1pm.

Embossed Designer Paper….

 I found a Designer Paper pattern that gives Sunflowers a new look!  Toadstool Garden has 8 sheets of this paper pattern.  And it’s On Sale in the Last Chance section while supplies last!  Item 164942  $10.

Shop at:KathySwanson.stampinup.net

Daffodil Delight card base, Pecan Pie layer and the embossed Designer paper.  I used the Ink pad drag to color the Sunflowers and the Blending brush to add the Old Olive and Crumb Cake.  

And here is another look with a Daffodil Delight card base.  Stunning!  Below is the Designer paper!  How awesome is this technique!  Go thru your Designer paper and get busy!  

These cards will be on the Rack tomorrow at Independence Uptown Market.  8-1pm

I will not be at the Market next Saturday 8/16.

Inked Sunflower cards

 I only made 2 finished cards…..because my Craft room is still locked!!  So my color choices are very limited as my card stock is all neatly filed in my craft room!  

This card base is White and the Darker shade of Fresh Freesia Two Tone and inked with Fresh Freesia.  The sentiment was stamped on a scrap and Die Cut with the small Arch Die.

This card base is Pecan Pie.  I added some Timid Tiger ink to the Crushed Curry Sunflowers.  

I hope you have ordered this embossing folder and try this Technique!  Shop 24/7 at my website: KathySwanson.stampinup.net

Visit me at the Independence Uptown Market Saturday 8-1pm!!

Inked Embossing Technique

 I have been meaning to ink up the Sunflower 3D embossing folder and show you how a little bit of ink can give a WOW factor!  Especially with the Two tone card stock.  Here are the just embossed images…..

Crushed Curry and Fresh Freesia light and dark sides.  Gorgeous just like this…. But try dragging an ink pad over the raised flowers and WOW!  This technique is less messy than inking the actual embossing folder.  

My craft room is still locked so my Ink colors were limited.  I worked on the door a solid hour today and no luck.  I don’t want to ruin the door….but I’m about to bust it down!!

I used a Fresh Freesia ink spot on both Light and Dark cardstock.  The Sunflower really pops!

The Crushed Curry was inked with Darling Duckling on the Dark.

And Crumb Cake on the light.  

So many options and you can use multiple colors of ink.  I really wanted to add some Cajun Craze to this card but…..it is under lock down!  Stay tuned for finished cards on Friday.

The Incolor sale is on NOW and NEW items are on the Last Chance Rack. 

Fall Plaid Embossing folder

 I finally had a chance to use the Plaid 3D Embossing folder on the NEW Two Tone cardstock.  On this card I stamped leaves in Cajun Craze ink on Cajun Craze before I embossed.  Crumb Cake card base.

I used my worn out nail buffer and sanded the raised bars lightly.  Love this worn look with so little effort!  A Nested Essential Die and a NEW DIE accent this popular sentiment.  Here is a close up of the texture on this card.

On this card I mixed the Brick and Plaid embossing folder with a scrap of this Pumpkin Designer paper.  Once again sanded with my nail buffer.

And finally the Early Expresso Plaid with a Leaf stamped on a Crumb Cake circle.  I used the Cajun Craze Plaid scrap to pick up the Leaf color.  You can buy this Two Tone paper in multiple color packs.  Christmas is right around the corner so get this in your cart with some Holiday colors and give your cards some Time worn texture!

Eyelet Embossing Folder Fun......

 I have wanted to replicate this Flower Market from last weeks Demo event and finally gave it a try with the Zinnia paper scraps. When you cut Designer paper 5 1/4 by 4 for a card front you get 2 equal pieces and 1 1/2 inch  leftover.  This piece is perfect for the inner band.  Cut 1 inch off the card base to allow the Designer paper to show.  Adhere paper to card.  There is usually a Fresh Flower vendor at the Market....come check out the vendors this Saturday and see this NEW card and others on the rack!

Emboss White card stock 4 X 5 with the Eyelet embossing folder.  On this card I adhered and CUT even with the card base......not sure I love this....but TOO LATE!  Add your focal image and you have a beautiful card!

For this sample I TORE the edge of the Eyelet embossed panel and I LOVE this look!!  SO much more texture!  

These nesting Dies are so versatile!!  Sorry to show so many items that at NOT available.....I guess that 2 days of FREE shipping emptied the shelves!  But you can use other Embossing folders, Dies and Paper!  I'll show you more options with available products soon!

Fun Patterns Embossing

 Fun Patterns are 2 NEW Embossing folders that fit in the Mini Embossing Machine.  The folders are 3 inches wide and perfect for a Embossed Backgound on this Calypso Coral card base.  I love how this Daisy pattern pops on White cardstock.  I had the Memory & More cards nearby and this Floral pattern card was a Match!  The Long sentiment and a Daisy Sticker pull this look together!

On the close up you can better see the Daisy embossing pattern.
