The embossing folder that keeps selling out

The Stampin’ Up! Sunflower 3D embossing folder… is probably the most popular Stampin’ Up! embossing folder ever! I’m pretty sure it’s sold out and restocked at least 10 times!

I paired the Sunflower embossing folder with the new Botanical Expressions die to make 2 very colorful, vibrant cards!

Two handmade greeting cards with botanical themes are shown. The left card is blue and red with leafy die cuts and a “With heartfelt thanks” circle. The right card is orange and green, featuring sunflowers, "happy birthday" text, and rhinestone embellishments. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Crafting Tip!

I wasn’t sure about adding the square heartfelt thanks ephemera greeting to my card, so I die cut it with the Stylish Shapes circle die!! Voila… a much better fit for my card!

A handmade card with layered floral and leaf patterns is shown. Above, a sheet of assorted greeting stickers and a metal circular die are displayed. Text says, "Tip! Alter the shape of the ephemera greeting by die cutting it!" An arrow points to the die-cut circle. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Sunflower embossing folder videos

For the sunflower card below, I colored the flowers and leaves with Stampin’ Blends markers, and streaked the black ink pad over the raised areas. In case you missed it.. here are some of my previous FREE sunflower embossing folder video tutorials:

Use Everyday Borders on Square Cards

Three handmade greeting cards with orange gingham backgrounds, flower borders, and colored ribbons are displayed on a wood surface. The cards say "Thank You," "Thinking of you," and "Happy Birthday." Six pastel marker pens lie above the cards. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

If you’ve followed me for very long, you know I love a cute 4×4 square card!!

These sweet square cards were created with a 4-1/4″ x 8-1/2″ Thick Basic White card base (scored and folded in half) and 4×4 pieces of Crisp Cantaloupe gingham paper. I made these right after the July Online Exclusive product release and not only used the new gingham paper but also the Everyday Borders floral and scallop strips. Unfortunately, I believe these Everyday Borders have sold out (so QUICKLY!) and are not returning. Sorry about that, but I still wanted to share these with you because they are too cute!

A hand-colored floral border made with stamped flower and leaf designs is displayed on a grid workspace. Three colored markers and swatches labeled "crisp cantaloupe," "lemon lolly," and "lost lagoon" are shown, along with border stamps and a highlighted yellow marker. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Again, so sorry they’ve sold out so quickly!!! I’m hoping you ordered some in the first couple weeks and have a pack to play with!

A close-up of handmade cards with peach gingham backgrounds and a row of die-cut, pastel flowers over scalloped borders. Markers, instructional cards, and a metal border die with floral designs are also shown. Text reads: "EVERYDAY BORDERS ACCENTS" and "#168217 PattyStamps.com/shop". To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I grabbed 3 colors of Stampin’ Blends markers (shown above) and colored the flowers and leaves, then cut the 12″ strip into 3 equal 4″ pieces for my cards.

A hand holds a square card with orange plaid background, “Happy Birthday” text, a green ribbon bow, and a row of yellow and orange 3D flowers with green leaves and pearls. Markers and “Patty Bennett PattyStamps.com” are visible in the background. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I also used the scallop borders in this pack for extra added cuteness. The birthday greeting is simply stamped onto the gingham paper, but I stamped Thank You onto a Scalloped Blooms die cut.

Most Frequently Asked Question about Square Cards

Everyone always asks.. but where do you get the envelopes for square cards?

My Answer: I use the Medium Stampin’ Up! envelopes for 2 reasons. They fit the square cards just fine, and #2, they don’t need extra postage like a square envelope does.
