Tutorial for Embossed Flower Folds Flowers
Step 1
Cut a piece of 12 x 12 card stock in half. You now have two pieces and you will need to cut two of each size of the flowers on the flower folds Bigz XL die. Cut off 3 3/8" from the end of each piece. Put the card stock on your flowers folds die as in the picture below, covering the small flowers with the 3 3/8" x 6" pieces of paper. You can cut more than one set at a time
You now have 8 flowers cut
For this card I'm only going to use the three smaller sizes. For the first two cards, I used all 4 sizes.
Step 2
Using a Stampin' Sponge (101610, page 195) or a Sponge Dauber (102892, page 195), sponge the edges of all the petals on all flowers
Step 3
Run each petal through the Big Shot in the Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
And you will now have all your flowers embossed
Step 4
Using a Stylus (100663, page 196), gently curl each petal up. I mention "gently" because sometimes these petals are a bit delicate after being run through the embossing folder.
Step 5
Line up all your flowers and using your Paper Piercer (pokey tool 116631, page 198) and Mat Pack (105826, page 198) poke a hole in the center of all your flowers
Step 6
Using the small (1 1/4") Paper Daisies, sponge around the edges with a coordinating color (I used Crumb Cake). Add a vintage brad and adhere the daisy and brad to the flower
Step 7
Mount your flower on your card with Stampin' Dimensionals (104430, page 197)
I used Crumb Cake for the Card Base cut 10" x 5" and scored at 5" for a 5" x 5" card. The 2nd layer is Very Vanilla cut 4 3/4" x 4 3/4". The third layer is Crumb Cake cut 4 5/8" x 4 5/8" and run through the Big Shot with the Elegant Lines Embossing Folder. I cut a 13" piece of Victoria Crochet Ribbon and tied it around layers 2 and 3.
