ADD COLOR TO THE SUNFLOWER 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER

It’s been a minute since I shared a Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder card but that doesn’t mean I’m ignoring it. I spent a very happy and relaxing afternoon playing with color on the embossed image, and I think you’ll love the end result.

  • Stamps: Retired sentiments
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight, Peach Pie, Timid Tiger, Pool Party, Bubble Bath, Coastal Cabana, Lost Lagoon
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder, various circle punches, retired ribbons, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I confess I took the opportunity to use up some retired bits and pieces I had languishing in the studio. These cards were to welcome new members of the Maui Stampers team, and I needed quite a few (so glad you’ve joined us!!). That gave me the perfect opportunity to play with the theme.

Each embossed panel has been colored using daubers and whatever color combination came to mind. I generally used analogous colors like Cloud Cover, Pool Party, and Lost Lagoon, but it was a pretty whimsical choice process. I had a LOT of embossed panels to experiment with!

I tore the edges and curled them a bit to add more dimension since there weren’t any embellishments aside from the ribbon. This was a very playful project!

CREATIVE TECHNIQUES WITH SUNFLOWER EMBOSSING FOLDER

I found a stunning project on a reel by the Pampered Stamper using the Sunflower Embossing Folder. It features vellum card stock (found many places, but no longer found in the Online Store.) She shared a great technique for embossing the vellum without cracking.

  • Stamps: Blooming Phrases
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Lost Lagoon
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Sunflower Embossing Folder, Textured Notes dies, Tear n Tape, Riverside Irregular Pearls

Jackie’s technique – and it’s a winner – is to place a sheet of card stock in the embossing folder with the vellum. That extra layer ensures the vellum will go through smoothly, and you’ll have an extra embossed panel to play with!

Because she is working with A4 card stock (slightly different dimensions than the USA) she was able to use the largest of the Textured Note dies to create her opening. For a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card front, you’ll want to use the second largest die to create your opening. If you cut the vellum to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″, you’ll have just enough room to securely adhere the vellum panel without having trouble centering it inside the card.

In my opinion, the best option for adhering the vellum is Tear n Tape. It securely holds the panel in place without gapping. I stamped a quick sentiment on the long, thin Textured Note die and adhered it to the front with Tear n Tape as well. A few Riverside Irregular Pearls finish it off. They’re on the Last Chance list, so if they catch your eye, catch ’em while you can! 😆

This is another great card for producing multiples, and would be perfect for all manner of special occasions. All products are available in the Online Store, although as of this exact moment the Sunflower Embossing Folder is out of stock. It’s expected September 1st.

SUNFLOWER TOTE

The Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder was at the very top of my July Online Exclusives list. It’s the large format 6″ x 8″ folder, so the options are endless for cards as well as 3D projects. I turned it into a sweet little tote.

  • Stamps: Spring Corners
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger, Mellow Moss
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder, Spotlight on Nature dies, Spring Corner dies, daubers, 25-27 In Color Flat Pearls, Paper Snips (gone 😭), Mossy Meadow 1/4″ Gold Ribbon, Stampin’ Dimensionals

It’s quick work to color the embossing folder with daubers. I began by dragging my Mossy Meadow ink pad lightly across the side of the embossed card stock where the sunflowers were recessed. (It’s called the debossed side, but who knows that?) Add ink to the design using daubers, and the result is a rustic, homespun look. If that’s not your style, use Stampin’ Blends, Watercolors, or Watercolor Pencils – but it will take a lot longer!

The handles are two big Spotlight on Nature circles, cut with a smaller circle centered inside. TIP: if you use washi tape across the circles, you can get an even and repeatable ring. Just be sure to take some of the stickiness off the washi by pressing it onto whatever you’re wearing once or twice so it doesn’t tear the paper when you remove it. There’s something about sending it through the Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine and smashing the daylights out of it that makes it want to stick to paper.

My tag is hand cut. I used a piece of chipboard from the back of a DSP package to make a pattern for the angles at the top. I snipped the corners with my Paper Snips and added the corner die cut from Spring Corners, along with a tiny 25-27 In Color Flat Pearl. A bow with the Mossy Meadow and Gold ribbon finishes it off!

Paper Snips, we will miss you. 😭😭😭 They sold out in a hot minute after Stampin’ Up! announced that they would no longer be available from the manufacturer. Stay tuned for an update on a replacement. In the meantime, take good care of your Snips!
