Use Patterned paper & the Sunflower embossing folder

Or go a little more dramatic.. how about the Everyday Skies paper!!! Oh My!

Learn my Best Tips for using this folder

Please be sure to watch the video replay below to see all my best tips for using the Sunflower Embossing Folder to make cards.

One of my favorite tips is combining the Sunflower Embossing Folder with the Woven Textures DSP patterns. I loved the earthy, almost Hawaiian or Batik feel of these cards.

Six handmade greeting cards, each featuring large, embossed daisy designs in warm tones of peach, orange, and yellow. The cards display various messages, including "Thank You," "forever friends," "birthday wishes," and "You're the Best," with ribbon and textured backgrounds.

  5. Patty, SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!! WOWZERS! Sunflowers are my very favorite flower, well, all flowers are my favorite. These cards are stunning, and your video was so much fun to watch. I would have never thought to use DSP, but what a surprise result! I am absolutely going to teach this to my team when it’s my turn to do our AZ stamp camp in September. What a perfect product to start the fall season. I will make sure to tell them to watch your video too. Thanks so much for sharing these gorgeous cards! XO
