Stampin' Smiles,
I went through many attempts of trying to get a colored image with Stampin' Up! Textured Impressions Embossing Folders, Sizzix Big Shot, Classic (dye) Ink and Vellum Card Stock.
My video demonstrates my conclusion to the best way to achieve it. Please leave a sweet comment if you enjoyed my video.

The stamp sets used to hand-stamp the cards are Cheep Talk (Rotary Cutter Tool), Close as a Memory (Distressing Tool), Party Hearty (Scoring Tool), Upsy Daisy (Perforating Tool) and Polka Dot.
The Cutting Mat shown in the video is also available to order.
I used the new Stampin' Up! Perfect Details Texturz Plate in my Sizzix Big Shot on the Cheep Talk, Close as a Memory and Upsy Daisy cards. I just love how I can quickly get such great backgrounds to give my cards more interest.
My main colors were Glorious Green, Summer Sun, Regal Rose and Ballet Blue.

Stampin' Smiles,
Branch Out is a great stamp set that was only pictured in the Spring-Summer 2009 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog. While you will not find it in the Stampin' Up! 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog, it is still available for purchase until June 30, 2009.
Enjoy the video! Nothing earth shattering technique wise; it just made for a pretty August CD calendar.

Stampin' Smiles,
In my video tutorial, I used the Sizzix Big Shot, Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Die and Vellum Card Stock. My colors are Regal Rose, Rose Red and Pretty in Pink.
The stamp set is Only Ovals from the Stampin' Up! 2009 Occasions Mini Catalog. And, I can hardly do a card without punches, the two punches used are the Large Oval Punch and the Scallop Oval Punch. The Scallop Oval Punch is also from the Stampin' Up! 2009 Occasions Mini Catalog.
