Never Not Loving You Card (4-1/4″ x 5″) featuring the Art in Bloom Bundle.

What’s Your Stampin’ Style?

CASUAL
Embossing Folders give you a fast way to add texture and depth to cardstock, and the process is so easy! Simply enclose your paper inside the folder and run it through your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Embossing is relatively inexpensive and adds an extra element of tactile interest to your cards for extra enjoyment!

This Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder has a hybrid design that combines two steps into one, and we think you’re going to love it. The coordinating dies fit inside the embossing folder so it can cut and emboss at the same time! Ta da! See them in action here!

To create our casual Art in Bloom Card, emboss a piece of Pool Party Cardstock using the Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder—this time without the dies. Let the embossed cardstock be the centerpiece of this easy-to-make card. Add the label, some die-cut flowers, and a Baker’s Twine bow and you have a card that you can duplicate in multiple colors. Simply switch up the sentiment and use it for almost any occasion!

AVID
We stepped up our second card by adding two-step stamping and die-cutting using both the Hybrid Embossing Folder and the Bloom Dies in the Bloom Hydrib Embossing Folder & Die Bundle. Such a timesaver and the technique is so clean and easy.

The Magenta Madness and Granny Apple Green inks really pop against the Pool Party Cardstock , don’t you think? A light dusting of Genial Gems completes this card and adds just the right amount of bling.

ARTFULLY AVID
Our final card features the emboss resist technique for a painterly look that appears difficult but is in fact quite simple to achieve. Stamp the image in VersaMark ink, add White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, and heat emboss. Then, using a Blending Brush or Sponge Dauber, apply ink to your image, varying the pressure as you go to create variations in color depth. That’s it! We also added a sunshine-y floral center using Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends, then finished with ethereal-looking vellum leaves. Gorgeous!

Ooh my favorite cards are white-on-white and this one is no exception. The simple elegance and sweet sentiment of it make my heart happy and get me in the mood for fall!

Let’s Create

Affix all stamps to Acrylic Blocks.
Fold the Card Base in half using a Bone Folder to sharpen the crease.
Stamp leaves on a piece of Basic White scrap paper in Bumble bee, Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Cinnamon Cider. I did a “second generation” image for most of the leaves. This is also known as “stamping off.” I inked up the leaf, stamped it off to the side, then stamped it again. This second-generation image is the one I used for the card. Repeat for each color leaf and select the darkness of ink that you prefer for each leaf.
Die-cut each leaf.
Use Stampin Dimensionals to attach leaves. I started by placing the center leaf exactly in the middle (on the top third of the Basic White layer). Then I added the far left leaf, and the far right leaf, each one near to the edge. Then I placed the leaves in positions 2 and 4.
Stamp your Sentiment along the bottom in Cinnamon Cider.
Adhere this layer to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Create five tiny little Basic White bows and adhere to each leaf with a Mini-Glue Dot.
Stamp the Inside Layer to your liking and attach with adhesive of your choice.
Decorate your envelope.
Simple and elegant!!!! Put it in the mail to make someone’s day!
