Stampin’ Up! Sunflower Embossing Folder – Off-set Gatefold Sympathy Card

Good morning – it’s Friday and I have two cards for you this morning using the debossed side of paper run through this fabulous Sunflower 3D embossing folder. And, it’s an off-set gatefold card. In a traditional gatefold card, both closing sides are the same width; this off-set means one side (the right side in this case) is more narrow. Let’s take a peek…

The card on the left is made with a Bubble Bath card base, embossed Basic White card stock, and Bubble Bath ink. The card on the right is made with Fresh Freesia card stock and a layer of embossed Fresh Freesia sprinkled with WOW! Metallic Embossing Powder in silver and heat set with the heat tool. It gives this card a real element of elegance. The sentiment on each card is from the Everday Greetings stamp set die cut with the Tailor Made Tags Dies. White Basic Twine was run through the hole in the tag and tied into a bow. The tag was adhered with dimensionals to the larger side of the card front.

For the inside of the card… I had started with a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel to emboss with the Sunflower Embossing folder. After inking the debossed side, I trimmed it down and there was a narrow remaining piece – which I adhered to the Basic White insert. I also stamped the sentiment: Bubble Bath for the first card and Fresh Freesia for the second. These were adherred and the cards were complete.

For the envelope… I took another strip of Basic White, ran it through the Sunflower 3D embossing folder, inked the debossed side: again, Bubble Bath ink for the first card and Fresh Freesia for the second card. For the second card I again sprinkled it with WOW! Metallic embossing powder in silver and heat set it. Each was adhered to a Basic White envelope and trimmed to fit. Card cuts are listed below.

Just a word about inking an embossed panel… if you saw yesterday’s post, it indicated a 45 degree angle when running the ink pad along the embossed piece. For these cards, the angle was more like a 20 degree angle and I liked it much better. Practice, right?!

Card cuts:

  • Card bass 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored on long side @ 1 1/4 & 5 1/2
  • Embossed layer 4 x 5 1/4 trimmed to 2 7/8 x 5 14, 1 x 5 1/4, remainder used for inside
  • Basic White for inside 4 x 5 1/4
  • Envelope flap 2 1/4 x 6, adhered & trimmed to fit

Stampin’ Up! Hand-Penned Petals with Country Gingham 6×6 DSP

Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group! Our challenge this time is to create something “For The Ladies/Girls” and we could create this any way we wanted. I have created a very ‘girlie’ card, feminine in other words.

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop Group
Stampin' Up! Hand-Penned Petals

I’ve used Country Gingham 6×6 DSP adhered to a Mint Macaron card base to get me started. Then a Basic White panel with the long side run through the cut & emboss machine using this adorable scallop die from Penned Flowers Dies. I stamped the floral image in Memento ink using the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set, then colored it with So Saffron Blends and Soft Succulent Blends. This was die cut with the coordinating die in the Penned Flowers Dies and added to the scalloped panel with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from Hand-Penned Petals, also in Memento ink, then added the scalloped panel with dimensionals to the card front. The bow is tied with White Crinkled Seam Binding and attached with a glue dot. And finally… Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels for the sparkly touch.

Stampin' Up! Hand-Penned Petals + Penned Flowers Dies

For the inside, another panel of Basic White die cut with the scalloped die from Penned Flowers Dies :O), followed by stamping the flower stem in Evening Evergreen ink and the Flowers in So Saffron ink. This was adhered to another panel of the Country Gingham 6×6 DSP, then into the inside of the card ~ and done.

Stampin' Up! Hand-Penned Petals card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Country Gingham 6×6 DSP adhered to the envelope flap, then run through the die cutting machine with what else – the scallop die from Penned Flowers Dies! L-O-V-E this extra feminine touch! For the front of the envelope, I did the same stamping as the inside of the card: Evening Evergreen ink for the stem and So Saffron ink for the flowers.

Each of the products used in the card (except Memento ink & Basic White card stock) is retiring as of May 1 and is on the LAST CHANCE PRODUCT list. The Country Gingham 6×6 DSP is on the Jan-April 2023 Mini Catalog list. More info about that below!
