Square Framed Tulips

The second Club card of the weekend is another featuring the Framed Tulips embossing folder. And, this one has a different look! Square!!

My friend Jen at Stampin' on the Fly has a great tutorial for how you get this look. Stop over and take a peak! Start with card stock that is 4-1/8" square. Match it up at the top of the folder, then turn it and just do the bottom. Too cool!

The card base is Rose Red, cut 4-1/4 x 8-1/2. Folded to be a 4-1/4" square. The Framed Tulip layer is Very Vanilla, embossed as discussed above. After embossing, we used a sponge dauber and So Saffron ink to dab color onto the embossed images. Really makes them pop!! Set inside the embossing is a 3" square of Wild Wasabi. The top layer of Very Vanilla was stamped with the saying and two images. We inked with marker. The So Saffron was added carefully using the marker so as not to bleed the Rose Red too much. The edges of this layer were also sponged with the sponge dauber. A crinkly Rose Red Seam Binding ribbon is across the bottom. Or, if you don't want to crinkle, just knot it! 

Can't wait to try some more of these! I've been seeing them all over but just haven't had time to play! Stop back tomorrow for the final club card, again using the Framed Tulip folder.

With Love & Caring

Here is my most recent swap creation. Somehow, I managed to work these in amongst all the Christmas prep stress! Always feels good to be stamping, but sometimes it is hard to take the time! Got some great cards back though as usual!! Our theme was Occasions Mini, so I chose to work with the Thanks for Caring set, Springtime Vintage DSP and new Framed Tulips embossing folder. Here is the result:

Card base is Baja Breeze and I embossed the front with the new folder. Next is a layer of Pear Pizzazz behind a floral print from the DSP. Around that I knotted Baja Breeze Seam Binding ribbon. Did you see the fun new colors of Seam Binding ribbon?? Fun fun!! For the main image, I punched a Very Vanilla Decorative Label and used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to add the saying on the lower left in Pear Pizzazz, and butterfly on the right side in Baja Breeze. I punched two more Decorative Labels from Baja Breeze and matted the Very Vanilla one. Final accent is a flower shaped Bitty Button with a Pear Pizzazz punch behind it. Have you all seen those buttons (p. 186) and coordinating punches (p. 200)? I will admit I haven't used them much, but they were the perfect accent for this card! Finally, the saying element was attached with dimensionals.
