Don’t miss the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder. This stunning sunflower design adds a touch of nature to any paper crafting project. And, it lends itself to a variety of techniques. With this card, I showcase Stampin’ Up!’s two-tone cardstock and the sanding technique.
The technique is simple. Add card stock to the embossing folder. Roll it through your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Remove cardstock from folder. Lightly sand the surface to expose the white center.
Try this technique with other embossing folders and other two-tone cardstock colors. Choose from more than fifty colors.

Real Red & White Baker’s Twine
See below for a few more cards I created with these products. Enjoy!
This next card uses the same layout as the featured card. I found the patterned paper in the Reindeer Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit. And, look at all those peppermints.
For this next card, I used just the snowman image (without the jar) and the sentiment from the Choose Happy Stamp Set, Find the patterned paper in the Reindeer Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit.
For this next card, I tried some heat embossing. The Real Red background piece gets its texture from the Pattern of Friendship Die.
This next and final card features a sneak peek of products available in Stampin’ Up!’s September-December Mini Catalog. I love the Secret Sea glimmer paper and the shimmery ribbon and gems.
