Watch the tutorial here: https://youtu.be/Va6dDj5Z2-E (releasedJuly 8)

Base- White-8-1/2" x 5-1/2"

White- 5-1/4' x 4"

White Embossed- 5" x 3-3/4"

Vellum- 5" x 3-3/4"

1. Emboss vellum and 5" x 3-3/4" white in the same spot on your embossing folder. (

Don't emboss at the same time though, because it will be to thick in your machine, and crack your vellum)

2. Flip the vellum over to the de-bossed side, and pick a few images, and color with your blends. Gently fussy cut them out, and glue over the same image on the white 5-1/4" x 4".

3. Wrap ribbon around above layer, and glue to card base.

4. Add sentiment

Sunflower Pop-Ink Color/Embossing Technique

In Today's Motivation Monday, I'm showing you a fun and bold technique using the 3-D Sunflower Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up!

I colored the DE-bossed side for the color, then swiped a Early Espresso Ink pad across the background to make the colors POP, and WOW, what a transformation!

You'll love how easy this is to do, and the results are eye-catching and perfect for any occasion.

Base-8-1/2" x 5-1/2"

Pumpkin Pie- 4-1/4" x 5"

Very Vanilla- 5 X 3-3/4"

1. Emboss Very Vanilla with 3D Sunflower Embossing Folder.

2. Flip over to the DE-BOSSED side, and color as desired.

3. Flip back over to the embossed side, and run Early Espresso Ink pad over front, to color the background.

Your flowers will POP!!

I like to add Wink of Stella over flowers, for a little extra sparkle.

4. Wrap gold weave thread around top 2 layers, and glue to card.

I find that Liquid glue works best with this embossing folder.

5. Add sentiment and gems if desired.

Motivation Monday: 3 Creative Projects with On the Go Designer Paper! June 31st

Happy Monday Motivation Monday, friends!

Project 1: New Driver Card

I kicked things off with a fun and encouraging card for a brand new driver. The travel themed patterns in On the Go were just right to capture the feeling of freedom and adventure that comes with getting your license!

Next, I made a cozy and stylish gift card holder, ideal for congratulating someone on their new home. I used a few alternative stamp sets to bring in some warmth and versatility, while keeping the colors and patterns cohesive.

To complete the set, I created a generously sized box that ties everything together. Whether you fill it with treats or a practical gift, it's a great way to make your handmade creations feel extra special.

This project trio is a great reminder that designer paper can take you anywhere.

Whether you're hitting the road, opening a new door, or wrapping up your creations with love.
