Perfectly Pears with Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder

This is the first card I made with my Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder. I saw the technique on YouTube by Debbie Reed and was so inspired that I wanted to make one too. Although, I didn't have the Memento ink she used called Rich Cocoa, but I did order it from another company to use in the future. Stampin' Up! doesn't have it, just the Jet Black so that it what I used today. Just be sure to do it on the debossed side for it to work correctly.

Here are my instructions I typed up after making my card:

Stamp Set: Perfectly Pears (sentiment)

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Mossy Meadow, Timid Tiger, Lemon Lolly

Ink: Memento Black ink, Mossy Meadow, Lemon Lolly

Stampin’ Blends: Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lolly, Darling Duckling

Mossy Meadow, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist, Pecan Pie, Timid Tiger

Other: Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Sunflower 3E Embossing Folder, Mixed Label Dies (labels), 3/8” Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon, Spone Daubers, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin' Dimensionals, Tiny Bee Trinkets

1. The base of the card is Very Vanilla cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2. The first layer is Lemon Lolly cut at 3-1/4” x 4-1/2” and inserted into the Sunflower 3D EF and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.

3. The second layer is Timid Tiger cardstock cut at 3-1/2” x 4-3/4”.

4. The third layer is Mossy Meadow cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/2”.

5. After embossing, turn over to the debossed side and begin by coloring with Memento Black ink or if you have Rich Cocoa Memento (Amazon) ink, use it to lightly ink up the debossed side of the sunflower.

6. Begin coloring the leaves with the green Stampin’ Blends starting with the darker at the base and the lighter at the tip of the leaves.

7. Begin coloring the flower petals with the yellow Stampin’ Blends starting with the darker and the lighter at the tip of petals.

8. Color the inside of sunflower with Pecan Pie and Timid Tiger. Wrap the ribbon around the inked Lemon Lolly sunflower towards the bottom and tie another piece around to the left. Layer onto the Timid Tiger cardstock with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Then layer onto the Mossy Meadow with the glue. Adhere to the Very Vanilla Base.

9. Die-cut the labels from Lemon Lolly and Mossy Meadow cardstock. Ink up the sentiment “A Good Friend is a Gift” with Mossy Meadow ink. Layer together with Multipurpose Glue and add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhere over the ribbon on the right side. Add three Bee Trinkets.
