Do you see a THEME starting to develop with my 6x6 Technique Book class this week??  Like... ROSES??  Manhattan Floral, Fifth Avenue Floral...  :)

Brayered Roses

Create beautiful softly shaded roses using the Brayer. 

Technique by Patty Bennett

Supplies: 

·         Textured Impressions Die – Manhattan Flower from Stampin’ Up!

·         Big Shot, Multipurpose Platform, clear cutting pads

·         Shimmery White Cardstock

·         Brayer

·         2 to 3 coordinating colors – classic ink pads

·         scissors

Directions:

1.         Emboss the Manhattan Flower die onto Shimmery White cardstock with the Multipurpose platform and the Big Shot

2.        Turn the finished image over so the raised portion is facing DOWN onto your work surface

3.        Ink your brayer in one color (I used Regal Rose) and then ROLL OFF much of the ink onto scrap paper

4.       Roll remaining ink onto “debossed” rose image (raised portion facing DOWN) – in a “hit and miss” fashion – do NOT try to cover the image entirely with color

5.        Repeat steps 3 and 4 with a 2^nd color – I used Summer Sun

6.       Cut image out and adhere to your card or project

You are done! Isn’t that quick and easy and BEAUTIFUL!? J

Now.. go make one! :)

New and Improved - Manhattan Flower Textured Embossing die with Vellum

For my Stamp A Stack class today, I decided to make an improvement on THIS CARD and cut out around the embossed vellum flower ...

 

I hope they all love it today!!

Manhattan Flower Die on Cardstock Vellum

I love the Manhattan flower embossing die with the Stampin' Up! Cardstock Vellum!

 

To adhere the vellum to the Apricot Appeal cardstock, I ran my snail down the left side of the card, attached the vellum, then covered that with my ribbon! :)

I used my FAVORITE new stamp set and punch - both from the New Occasions Mini catalog:

Oval All stamp set, #113790, $16.95, set of 4

Scallop Oval Punch, #114889, $15.95

 

Super quick and simple card, but really gorgeous in person!

Manhattan Flower Impressions Die - Wedding Card

Wow... how simple & quick, yet how elegant this card would be for a wedding or anniversary!! 

 

I used the Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Die (item 114517, pg 202) and the Stampin' Up! Big Shot machine to create the gorgeous embossed flowers on a Pink Pirouette card, then simply added the Eyelet border (punched with Whisper White cardstock), the Organza Ribbon, and a stamped focal point from "Together Forever" (pg 60, item 115100).  I layered it onto a Chocolate Chip tag I cut using the new Matchbox die (coming up in the Occasions mini catalog.. it also has 3 tags!).

I used the "Punches Plus" Classy Brass Template (pg 186, item 109539) and the paper piercer to pierce around the oval punch ... did you know that brass template coordinates PERFECTLY with our punches?

Hope you like it!

More samples with this die can be seen in THIS previous post.

Manhattan Flower Impressions Die

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOh.. I've been having FUN today!!  I got my exclusive Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Die today, and I HAD to play with it right away!  I used it in conjunction with my Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set from Stampin' Up! and Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze and Chocolate Chip cardstock/ink..

 

I used tags from both the new Matchbox Die (Occasions Mini catalog) and the Stampin' Up! "Lots of Tags" Sizzlit dies.  A couple of the tags layer nicely from the 2 products!

 

Notice the new Baja Breeze Corduroy Buttons! (available now to demonstrators, available on April 1 to customers).

 

The Manhattan Flower die is on pg 202 of the current Stampin' Up! catalog, item #114517, $7.95 and is available NOW!

OK.. now go play with your new stuff and tell me what you made!
