Using an Embossing Folder as a Stamp - One Hour Card Class 002 (OHCC002)

I combined a few ideas off Pinterest for this Easter card class however, you could change the phrase to any of the phrases from the Well Scripted stamp set and make it something different. 

Prepare a top fold card by cutting So Saffron cardstock at 4.25” x 11” to make a top fold card.  The card insert and front panel are cut at 5.25” x 4” from white cardstock

To use your embossing folder as a stamp, wipe your ink pad across the raised side of the Honeycomb embossing folder with Tangerine Tango ink.

Place the wrong side of your card on the un-inked side of the folder.

Close the flap.  Rub gently with your hand or use a brayer to transfer the ink.

Open the flap and there you have it! 

The Turquoise ribbon was placed about 2-3/4” from the bottom of the white panel. The 1/8” Turquoise ribbon was cut about 5” long, looped over the existing ribbon so the tails are to the left of the phrase then glued in place. 

Stamp two small flowers in Calypso Coral ink.  Punch out.  Curl petals to the right side. Adhere mounts. Stamp one large flower in Tangerine Tango ink.  Color with the Wink of Stella brush in clear.  Punch out, curl petals to the front, adhere a mount.  Stamp two small flowers, one large and small butterfly in Tempting Turquoise ink.  Punch out.  Curl petals and wings. Sponge a scrap of So Saffron cardstock with Tangerine Tango ink.  Punch flowers using the Trio Flower punch.  Curl petals to the right side. 

 

Adhere flowers and butterflies to the card in a pleasing manner.  Add a large rhinestone to the large flower and a tiny rhinestone to the phrase.  Add Dazzling Details to the remaining flowers and both butterflies.

Workshop Cards W130, W131, W132

Here are some more cards we made at Joanne’s October workshop.

Workshop Card W130

Paper: Sahara Sand, Wisteria Wonder, Vanilla, Wild Wasabi, Newsprint DSP, Neutrals DSP.

Stamps: Autumn Fest, Well Scripted.

Ink: Wisteria Wonder, Wild Wasabi, Crushed Curry.

Embellishments: Victorian Crochet, mount, sponge

Punches: Scallop label.

Workshop Card W131

Paper: White, Gold.

Stamps: Winter Post, For All Things, Lovely as a Tree.

Ink: Crumb Cake.

Embellishments: Neutrals candy dots, Woodland EF.

Punches: Snowflake.

We first embossed a separate piece of cardstock with the Woodland EF then inked the smear stamp from For All Things with Crumb Cake and gently swiped the raised part of the cardstock.

Workshop Card W132

This card does not scan as pretty as it looks.  It is full of glitter!  To make the snowflake, we smeared Versamark on a 2x2” piece of Island Indigo cardstock, covered it with Heat and Stick powder and melted that.  While it was still hot, we covered it with Dazzling Diamonds and heated it again then punched out the snowflake.  For the card front, we used the brayer to add ink to the flat side of the embossing folder then did the same technique as the snowflake to add glitter to it.  I hand cut the label for the Warm Wishes.

Paper: White, Island Indigo.

Stamps: Warm Wishes.

Ink: Island Indigo, Versamark.

Embellishments: Dazzling Diamonds, Heat and Stick powder, Woodland EF, Iced Rhinestones.

Punches: Snowflake.

SU107 Fishy Valentines

I fell in love with these fish from THIS card!  I thought they were so cute so I had to come up with a card using them.

I use acrylic paints a lot to splatter cardstock, however they are starting to dry up on me.  Guess you can't ask them to remain in good condition after not using them for 10 years!  I decided to try my red re-inker for this card and it worked!  I just put a drop of ink on a plastic lid, dipped my wet toothbrush in it and splattered slowly.  It sure dries a lot quicker than the paints!  This is probably old news to you but I just figured it out!

I used the ornament punch to punch out the fish bodies from wallpaper.

Stamps - I {Heart} Hearts, Well Scripted. Both sets are from the Occasions Mini (Jan - April 2010)

Cardstock - White, Black, Wallpaper, Tempting Turquoise, Pretty in Pink

Ink - Tempting Turquoise, Real Red

Accessories - 1/4" hole punch, 1/2" circle punch, stamp aligner, heart punch by EK Sucess, Tiny Bubbles embossing folder, Real Red marker, ornament punch, whimsy wheel, red re-inker and toothbrush.

I also made a boy one.  Their bodies are also punched from wallpaper, matched it up with Brillant Blue cardstock and Bordering Blue ink.
