Grab some embossing folders and several sheets of 4″ x 5-1/4″ vellum, and have fun creating beautiful, and EASY, card fronts! For this pair of birthday cards I used the Stampin’ Up! Pressed Flowers embossing folder.

The fun part about all of the embossed vellum cards I’ve been making lately was experimenting with colors and patterns to put behind the embossed vellum. These 2 cards are layered onto pieces of designer paper from the Elegant Pines Snowflake paper pack.

A grid-patterned workspace shows two die-cut green leaf clusters, one plain and one shaded with darker green and sparkle. Nearby are three Stampin’ Blends markers, a Wink of Stella glitter pen, and instructions for coloring and adding sparkle to the leaves. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I had a few leaf die cut pieces left over from the Petals of Beauty dies from my Pop Out Cards, but they weren’t quite the perfect shade of green, so I colored over much of the Granny Apple Green cardstock with 3 Stampin’ Blends, then sprinkled them with Wink of Stella.

A hand with red nail polish holds open a green greeting card. Inside, “You’re Awesome” is written in green script. An arrow points to the blank space below, with the text “Don’t forget the inside!” in black near the bottom right corner. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I used ephemera pieces for all the words on these pressed flowers birthday card projects today. They are found in the Saying Something Mix & Match ephemera pack from Stampin’ Up!

Each card is finished of with some glitter sequins. Find all of these supplies in my online Stampin’ UP! store by clicking the product photos at the bottom of this post. Thank you for your order!

  2. So pretty! I love this idea. These cards are so versatile and the elegance of the embossed vellum makes them perfect for so many occasions. I have to admit that I’m relieved I don’t have to learn how to press real flowers, which is what I thought when I first read the subject line. 😁😂
