A pretty thank you card made using the The Spring Corners dies and stamp set, Embossing paste and re-inkers from Stampin' Up!

Embossed Spring Corner card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on February 4, 2025January 29, 2025 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday where we are showcasing projects made using Embossing Paste. I have chosen to make my card using the pretty Spring Corners stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make this card:

To recreate embossed Spring corners card, you will need:

Melon Mambo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Granny Apple Green card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼” x 2

Using the Spring Corners Dies, I die cut the detailed floral image in 2 corners, one at the top and one at the bottom of one of the 5” by 3¼” panels of Basic White card. I laid the die cut panel over the second panel of the same size, taping then together to stop them moving around.

Using Washi tape I covered all the leaves on the die cut image leaving the flowers and flower centres exposed.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Spring Corners dies and stamp set used with Embossing paste and re-inkers to make a pretty thank you card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

I scooped a little Embossing Paste onto my Silicon Mat using one of my Palette Knives. I added a small drop of Melon Mambo re-inker to the paste and mixed it thoroughly with the palette knife. I carefully smeared the coloured embossing paste onto the flower petals taking care to avoid the flower centres. I set the piece aside to allow the Embossing Paste to dry.

When the pink paste had dried, I added another scoop of paste to the Silicon Mat and mixed in a little Lemon lolly re-inker. This was then carefully smeared over the flower centres before setting it aside to dry.

Once the flowers were completely dry – about 30mins later I peeled up the top layer. I flipped the panel around and re-positioned the clean negative die cut flower over the embossed flowers. I mixed a little Granny Apple Green re-inker to a little Embossing Paste and smeared it over the leaves and set this aside to dry before removing the top panel.

A birthday cake image, from the Wildflower Birthday dsp was adhered to the larger basic White label. I glued the label to the largest Bubble Bath label, decided it was too large and so trimmed it down with Scissors.

The smaller White label was glued to the remaining Bubble Bath label and a small floral piece from the dsp was added to decorate.

With the seam at the back in the middle, and glue two of the Bubble Bath tabs on either side of the centre scoreline with the fold facing, but not right up against the scoreline and about an inch apart. Add two more opposite the two already in position on the other side of the scoreline. Add glue to the top of these tabs and place the label, decorated with the cake image on top. Hold in place until the glue has bonded. Repeat this for the smaller back panel using one tab on either side of the seamed scoreline. Add the smaller label.
