Stampin' Up! Country Floral Embossing Folder

I'm still finding new ways to use this wonderful Sale-A-Bration free selection; Country Floral Embossing Folder.  The Country Floral Embossing Folder has been one of the most exciting folder to come along during Sale-A-Bration.  This is a free Sale-A-Bration selection from the second release of Sale-A-Bration items.  We actually had three release of free selections this year and all the the selections have been very popular, with several items completely sold out.  As I recommended in earlier posts, you'll want to place your Sale-A-Bration orders as early as possible to ensure your selections don't sell out.  Sale-A-Bration is always one of the more popular sales periods within the Stampin' Up! year, and this year, with the special joining bonus for new demonstrators, (see details below), Sale-A-Bration items are selling out faster than ever!  Don't wait until the end of Sale-A-Bration to place your order.  Order now to ensure your free selection items are still in stock. Selections are available, only until they are sold out.  Read about the free selection here.

Today's card began with a wash of So Saffron made with a stamp pad and an Aqua Painter on Whisper White cardstock.  I caution you to create this wash with a light touch and avoid going over the paper over an over as you will create bubbles if too much water is applies.   Then I ran the Whisper White with the So Saffron Wash through the Big Shot using the Country Floral Embossing Folder.
   

The basecard for today's card is Daffodil Delight.  Then on the left side is the Country Floral Embossing Folder dry embossed piece of Whisper White.  This piece is colored with the Daffodil Delight Blends with the centers of the flowers highlighted with the Mango Melody Light Blends.  On the right side is a 1/1-4" strip of Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper.  
  

I created a Whisper White border using one of the three borders from the Delicate Lace Edgelits die.  This border is placed under the embossed layer and my samples show it with just a little of the edge of the border showing and my other samples show a large amount of the border show.  I'm not sure which I like best.   I like them both!          

Then, the Pear Pizzazz 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon is tied in a bow and hides the seam between the embossed piece and the border.  The sentiment is stamped on a Whisper White shape die cut using one of the dies from the Wonderful Floral Framelits Dies.    It is stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink.  

The flowers are stamped using the little flower from the Wonderful Romance Stamp set, colored with a Daffodil Delight Blends Pen and die cut with the Wonderful Floral Framelits Dies.  A small So Saffron pearl from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls package was placed in the center of each flower.   Leaves are punch out of Pear Pizzazz, also using Wonderful Floral Framelits Dies.

Another Stampin' Up! Country Floral

Where did today go?  Wait!  It's Wednesday?  Where has this week gone?  Today's post is going to be really fast.  Although I worked on two other cards for today's post, when push came to shove, I again reached for Gray Granite and the Country Floral Embossing folder.  It's such a beautiful embossing folder to work with.  And the best news is that it's free with your $50 Sale-A-Bration order.  But only until March 31...so don't sit on your hands.  Rush to your keyboard and enter an order while this wonderful folder is still available. 

Sale-A_Bration items have been widely popular this year, with several selections in the first Sale-A-Bration release already sold out.  Today we learned that the Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack that just returned to inventory Monday, has already sold out!!   Several, wonderful selections were added during the second and  third Sale-A-Bration release, but with such a successful Sale-A-Bration, these items are available only until they are gone.  Sale-A-Bration ends March 31, so don't delay if you've had your eye on one of these wonderful, free selections.   

Well Written Framelit Dies with Country Floral Embossing Folder

The basecard for today's card is Gray Granite; then another layer of Gray Granite.  Then the image layer begins with a mat of Whisper White.  Then a Powder Pink layer is dry embossed with the Country Floral Embossing Folder inked with Powder Pink ink pad. Didn't it turn out just yummy?    

  

Then, I cut a piece of the 3/8" Powder Pink Mini Ruffled Ribbon from the Annual catalog and tied it across the card.  I die cut a Doily from Grapefruit Grove using the Doily Builder Thinlits Dies and secured it under the ribbon.  On top of the ribbon, I cut a Whisper White sentiment label using one of the dies from the Petals & More Thinlits Dies.         

Doily Builder Thinlits Dies and
Well Written Framelit Dies create this unique sentiment

The sentiments from this card was die cut using one of the words from the Well Written Framelits Dies from the Occasions Catalog out of Grapefruit Grove.  The edges of the sentiment label are accented with Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

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.
