Country Floral Embossing Folder and Introducing the Story Label Punch

  • Introducing the new Story Label Punch - available March 1
  • Country Floral Embossing Folder for fast, beautiful cards
  • Seats remain for March 3 Class Embossing Folders Technique class

Stampin' Up! Country Floral Embossing Folder


I can't stop using the new Country Floral Embossing Folder, and today, I've mixed it with a brand new Sale-A-Bration Coordination product that will be available tomorrow morning -- March 1-- the new Story Label Punch.  Haven't heard about the Sale-A-Bration Coordinating products yet?  Well, get set to heat up the Sale-A_Bration party, with new products that coordinate with select Sale-A-Bration items.  Visit my Stampin' Up! store tomorrow morning to see all of the new Sale-A-Bration Coordinating products.  And just one word or advice...if you see something you want, be sure to order it right away.  You've seen how fast the Stampin' Up! free selections have sold out this year.  You won't want to miss the opportunity to grab these wonderful, new products that will coordinate with the Sale-A_Bration items you've already ordered.  These new items will only be available until March 31, 2019...so don't wait.

Today I've created another card with the Country Floral Embossing Folder, the new Story Label Punch, and used four different colors of Blends Markers to create this colorful card.     



I used a basecard of Calypso Coral, dry embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder.  Then I added a layer of So Saffron.  Then I embossed a layer of Whisper White with Country Floral Embossing Folder.   




The embossed Whisper White background is colored with alcohol-based Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, and Highland Heather Blends Markers.  

Then, I created a heat-embossed sentiment layer using the new Story Label Punch (150076) (available March 1 - March 31).  Each card shows a different sentiment, as I wanted to show that this punch will fit many different size sentiments.  I punched one sentiment label out of Gorgeous Grape and another with Highland Heather.  The sentiments are from the Ribbon of Courage stamp set and from the Just Because stamp set.  Both were embossed with white embossing powder.   I cut the Gorgeous Grape punched label in half horizontally, and glued it to the back of the Highland Heather layer as a mat.          

  


I added a piece of Gorgeous Grape Mini Striped Ribbon under the punched label and added Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment piece before layering it on top of the ribbon.

You're sure to find lots of uses for the new Stampin' Up! Story Label Punch and the Country Floral Embossing Folder as you coordinate your cards with your new Occasions and Sale-A-Bration items...including the new Sale-A-Bration Coordinating items being introduced March 1.  Be sure to visit my store to see all of these new items and place your order for these limited-time items while they last.  Place a $50 order for coordinating items, and pick the Country Floral Embossing Folder as your free Sale-A-Bration selection from the Sale-A-Bration Brochures.
