Warning… this is a LONG post with TONS of samples and a video featuring the Pretty Flowers embossing folder and 3 ways to use it with vellum!! Enjoy, I think you’ll love these Stampin’ Up! card ideas!
Vellum Idea #1 with Pretty Flowers Folder & Shimmer Vellum
This is such a WOW but SO easy! Cut a piece of the In Color Shimmer Vellum to 4″ x 5-1/4″ and emboss with the Pretty Flowers embossing folder #155428, then layer onto the same color cardstock!!
Above: Polished Pink embossed Shimmer Vellum, decorated with designer paper and stamped flower from the Expressions in Ink suite, a die cut from the Encircled in Beauty dies and stamped with thanks so much from the In Symmetry set. Elegant Faceted Gems, colored with Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends complete the project.
Above: Pale Papaya Shimmer Vellum on Pale Papaya cardstock, and similar decorations, but the die cut is from the Scalloped Contours dies.
Below: Fresh Freesia Shimmer Vellum on Fresh Freesia cardstock, with Expressions in Ink designer paper, Encircled in Beauty die cut and greeting from the In Symmetry set.
The Amazing Stampin’ UP! Shimmer Vellum #155616 available online!
Vellum Idea #2 with Pretty Flowers Folder & Vellum Cardstock
If you prefer plain vellum, the Vellum Cardstock is a great alternative. It also looks gorgeous when embossed with the Pretty Flowers embossing folder and layered on any colored cardstock! Below is Fresh Freesia cardstock and the Encircled in Beauty die, with a greeting from the Pansy Patch stamp set.
Vellum Idea #3 with Pretty Flowers Folder & Blending Brushes
Our 3rd and final idea for using vellum with the Pretty Flowers embossing folder is to color the back of the Vellum Cardstock with Blending Brushes and Stampin’ Blends markers after embossing it!!
If you need more info on any of these techniques today, please watch the video below in this post!!
I used Blending Brushes with Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink and Rich Razzleberry ink pads to color the flowers, then used the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends markers to color the leaves.
