Video: How To Ink Embossing Folders

I shared this card and video a couple of months ago, but thought I would share again today in case you  missed it.  (it’s one of my most popular videos!)  This is a fun and easy technique that gives dramatic results!  (but a little messy)

Let’s start with the video:

Here is the card!

• Whisper White Card Base:  11″ x 4 1/4″
• Whisper White:  3 3/4″ x 5″
• Basic Black:  3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
• Scrap of white for banner
• 1″ Basic Black circle–cut in half

Video shows how easy this is…..

Using an ink pad, apply ink directly to embossing folder.  Make sure you are applying on the “raised” side that you want the ink to appear.  With the Woodlands folder, it is the side that says “Stampin’ Up!” on it.

Place card stock carefully inside the folder.  Make sure to not move it around.  Close folder and run through Big Shot like you normally do!

and wala…….

I like to start with the cardstock a little bigger than I need.  In this case, it was 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″.  After running through the Big Shot, I cut it down to the size I needed:  5″ x 3 3/4″.

To really bring out the highlights in the tree, I used my Black marker in the little grooves of the trees:

That’s it…..complete the card as desired!  I hope you like this technique.  If you do, please leave me a comment.  I love to hear from you!

As always, if you have any questions, or if I can help you with anything, please let me know.  If you are looking for a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I would be honored to be that person.  I would love to send you a catalog, help you decide what you need, or teach you what you’d like to know.
