Tried Inking Up Your Embossing Folder?

ADORING HEARTS HYBRID EMBOSSING FOLDER from the new JAN – APR ’24 MINI CATALOG!

I hope you have room for just one more project using the ADORING HEARTS HYBRID EMBOSSING FOLDER! You can find this Hybrid Embossing Folder on pages 18-19 of the new Mini.

What makes it a Hybrid? Well, it means the dies and embossing folder can be used at the same time! For today’s project, I used both the embossing folder, the dies and the brand new Stampin’ Brayer!

I used the Stampin’ Brayer to add color directly onto the embossing folder! See below for the proper placement of where to add the color.

If you want to emboss (and/or crop) all nine of the hearts, you will need to start with a piece of card stock that is 6″ x 6″. I did this even though I just needed three hearts for this project… but the rest will be put to good use for sure.

Here is a little breakdown with some hints for using the Stampin’ Brayer. (The graphic below shows the steps for a different project – You Make Everyday A Little Brighter but the tips are good for anytime using the brayer.)

The red arrows in the graphic are pointing to the ‘feet’ of the brayer. This makes it super easy to keep your stamping surface clean until you are ready to use it! No worries on placing an inked up brayer down on your desk top!
Once you lift the brayer, you are fine to roll onto the stamp pad in any direction. You may need to re-ink your brayer until you have the desired coverage.
Be sure that the ‘feet’ are up when you are ready to roll onto the image. It will prevent you from rolling if the feet are down… no biggie, except you may waste a little ink when that happens!
I ran the brayer under cold water and the ink just disappeared! No wiping required! You could use a wet wipe or paper towel if you are not near a sink.

I am also using another new product from the Jan-Apr ’24 Mini on this project. They are the Perennial Postage Dies from the Perennial Lavender Suite Collection. It’s the small postage stamp squares behind the hearts. You can see the full line of products on pages 23-25.

Here are the measurements for this project:

Basic White (Thick) CS: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and score at 4 1/4″
Highland Heather CS: 5 1/4″ x4″
Basic White CS: 6″ x 6″ (2x), 3 3/4″ x 7/8″

Here is the step-by-step for this project:

Trim all layers as noted above
Adhere the Highland Heather layer to the card base
Emboss one of the 6″ x 6″ Basic White card stock layers with the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder and trim to 5″ x 3 3/4″
Adhere to Highland Heather card stock layer
Use the Stampin’ Brayer to add ink to the inside of the embossing folder (see photo above for placement)
Place the second 6″ x 6″ layer inside the embossing folder and emboss
Die cut all nine hearts and put (6) die cuts aside for a future project
Crop (3) squares from the Perennial Postage Dies using Fresh Freesia card stock
Adhere (3) embossed hearts to (3) postage squares and adhere to card front with dimensionals
Stamp the sentiment (Perennial Postage stamp set) in Highland Heather ink onto trimmed Basic White tag and use a sponge dauber to add ink to the edges of the tag
Adhere sentiment tag over the center heart with dimensionals
Use your Highland Heather Stampin’ Write Marker or Blends Marker to color a strand of white Baker’s Twine, make a bow and adhere to lower edge of sentiment tag
Add a few Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to card front
