Oval Frame - Petal's a Plenty embossing folder

I have seen several stampers cutting their Stampin' Up! embossing folders to create other patterns and designs.. so I thought WHY NOT CUT OUT THE OVAL shape so I don't have to use the wood frame (see THIS POST).

IT WORKED!

I used my Stampin' Up! Hobby Blade to cut the oval.

How great that the folders are so affordable that I can create several different shapes if I want to!  :) You can use the Oval Scallop die as a cutting guide.

Tutorial: Altered Textured Impressions Folder!! You are going to love it!

Strap on your seatbelt and helmet... let's go for a ride.. you are GOING TO LOVE THIS!!

Read all the way to the end for a CUSTOMER INCENTIVE and BLOG CANDY!

Do you know how to get this lovely blank oval area using the Stampin' Up! Textured Impressions Embossing Folders???

Normally when you use one of the Impressions Folders you get an all over textured impression like this:

But I got a cool swap at Convention from Betty Kincannon who learned this technique from this blog here and here.  I wanted to try this with our Stampin' Up! Impressions folders, and I knew you'd want to see a tutorial, so I modified the instructions to use my Stampin' Up! products and I eliminated a few of her steps to suit my needs.... HERE YOU GO...

(wood template info at bottom of post)

Then you get THIS!!

Supplies:

I used these frames from a national craft store chain.

UPDATE.... so I'm thinking this morning.... Why not make my own template/frame?!? I think we could use our Stampin' Up! Chipboard sheets, and any Big Shot die, and cut an opening in a rectangular piece of chipboard and make our own frame... need to give it a try when I get home this afternoon!!  Let me know if you try it!

This will work beautifully with the following Textured Impressions Embossing Folders:

• Petals A Plenty, mini catalog pg 21, #116824, $7.95
• Finial Press, catalog pg 195, #115963, $7.95

CUSTOMER INCENTIVE OFFER:

I will send a FREE WOOD FRAME TEMPLATE to the first 5 customers who place an ON LINE ORDER through my website (HERE) of $50 or more and include at least ONE Impressions Embossing Folder!

BLOG CANDY OFFER:

I will send a FREE wood frame template to 3 randomly drawn comments on this post, deadline: Friday, Sept. 11, 6pm CA time.   Comment must include full name and email address in your comment.

OK>> now back to my 125 Swaps using this technique for my upcoming Founders Circle Trip next week!!

Top Note Die Tip with Window Plastic template - VIDEO

This was one of the 5 proejcts we made in my Bright Delights Rub On class last week:

 

I used the Stampin' Up! Thick Window Sheet plastic (#114324, pg 10 of the Occasions Mini) and the Top Note Die to make a template for sponging the edge of the Top Note Die cut. I made a video to show how I did the Kiwi Kiss sponging around the top edge of the Top Note Die.. you can view the video here:

Hope that was helpful!

Big Shot Matchbox Die Tips / Video

I learned a GREAT tip from demonstrator Lisa Freeman for cutting your 12x12 cardstock/DSP to use in the new Matchbox Die from Stampin' Up! (in the Occasions Mini Catalog).  Thank You Lisa!  She said it was ok if I made a video showing this tip... so here you go!

Fun Folds Class - part 3

Continuing on with the samples from my Fun Folds class this week.. here is the 3rd one.  This was totally inspired by the AWESOME Beate Johns.. I adore her work, and based this card on one of her recent creations. 

 

This card is a folded Top Note Die from Stampin' Up! (see below for details). It is cut out of Riding Hood Red cardstock and stamped with the Baroque background stamp in the same ink.  The focal point is Bella Blossoms, also stamped in Riding Hood Red ink.

 

The greeting is stamped in Chocolate Chip ink and punched out with the large oval punch and layered on the Designer Label punch (Riding Hood Red c/s sponged with Chocolate Chip ink).

The ribbons are: White and Chocolate taffet ribbon wrapped around the card together and tied together in a knot.

To make the folded Top Note Die, you can cut your cardstock to 4-1/4"x8-1/2", fold it in 1/2 (so you have a 4-1/4" square), then place it on the Top Note die with the fold HERE:

 

{click to enlarge photos}

 

Line up the FOLD of your c/s as shown above and then run it through the Big Shot Machine.  This will give you a folded Top Note... this is very similar to the folded Scallop cards HERE.

On Line Ordering available 24/7.  Be sure to check out the Stampin' Rewards  HOSTESS BENEFITS table before you place your on line order!

Folded Cards with the Scallop Big Shot die

 I made a couple of fun cards using the Scallop Circle Die and the Big Shot machine from Stampin' Up!

It's difficult to see in a photo WHERE the scallop is, so for demonstrations purposes only, I'm setting an orange scallop on this die, just so you can see where the scallop cuts.

 

 

 

 

      

 To make this Bib Card, you'll need to fold your cardstock in 1/2 (my piece started at 5"x11" - then I folded  it in 1/2)

Then I placed the folded cardstock on the die like this and ran it through the Big Shot machine:

 

Remember, the orange scallop is only there so you can see where the die actually  cuts.. you don't put a scallop on your die when cutting the folded cardstock.

Then once your cardstock is punched out, use the Wide Oval Punch to punch out the "scoop" of the neck in the folded side of the cardstock.

Punch 2 holes with the Crop A Dile and set 2 jumbo eyelets in the holes.  Run ribbon through the holes to look like the strings on a bib.

I used the same wide oval punch to punch out the baby stamp from the Punches Three hostess set.  Ink and c/s: Baja Breeze.

I used a paper piercer to put a hole in each scallop.

     

The card folds at the top and opens at the bottom.

NEXT...

  

To make a scalloped card with a folded top like the one above, place your FOLDED cardstock like this on your scallop die, then run it through the Big Shot machine.

 Supplies:  Baja Breeze C/S, Season of Friendship set, Felt Flurry Snowflakes, Chit Chat Rub-ons, Riding Hood Red Taffeta ribbon, Rhinestone brads, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White ink.

 

Stampin' Up! Big Shot Die tip

Here is a quick tip for you - something that has come in handy for me...  I decided to write the minimum cardstock size required on the edge of my Stampin' Up! Big Shot dies.  This way I won't have to measure them each time that I want to cut out that shape. 

 

Hope that is helpful!
