2 more Season of Elegance & Peaceful Season cards with free project sheets & video

Yesterday I shared a gorgeous fancy fold card and today I have two more pretty cards as well.  They all feature the Season of Elegance suite.

I'll start with this one which has Basic Beige, Pretty Peacock and Gold:

I love so many things about this card – the pretty dies and that fabulous Painted Trees 3D embossing folder too.  I adhered the Season of Elegance DSP (seen here) to the Beige layer before I textured it.  A neat trick to showcase them both.

Notice the 'Merry' die-cut layers. There isn't a coordinating larger die-cut for this so I cut this in half horizontally to add a nice gold layer above and below. *watch the video here or below to see how I did it.

Next is a pretty card featuring the Cherry Cobbler and Gold DSP in this pack.

It also shows off the pretty die-cuts once again.  I really like the ribbon slots in three of the dies in the set. Here I used the gorgeous Cherry Cobbler/Gold satin ribbon seen here.  

This Peaceful Season bundle is a big hit with many of my customers.  It has beautiful die-cuts and the greetings are wonderful as well.

I'm sure the embossing folder caught your eye as well.  It's the Forever Plaid 3D folder.  It's one of our large folders so I could place the Beige CS on an angle.

I especially like this layout as it truly does not matter what size your DSP layers are. Simple offset them from each other to form an interesting mix.

• A colorful Joseph’s Coat technique with Layered Thoughts

  August 11, 2025

  ---

  Have you ever done the Joseph’s Coat technique?  It’s one of those techniques that makes you feel like an artist.

  Save

  I shared how to do it on last week’s Live video. The card I’m featuring today uses the Layering Thoughts technique with three of our newest In Colors – Strawberry Slush, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger.  

  Save

  These colors – card stock, ink, refills, gems, markers and card stock are all 15% off in August. See these products and so much more here.  It’s a great time to grab these items while discounted. 

  This technique involves a few steps:

  1. sponge colors over your neutral card stock – I used White. 
  2. Tap or rub the embossing buddy over the layer. 
  3. Stamp your images using Versamark ink. 
  4. Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder and your heat tool. Let dry. 
  5. Rub a dark ink (memento black here) over the entire layer.  The embossed areas will resist the water based ink. 
  6. Dab off excess ink with a tissue or paper towel.  Done!  

  Here’s how I finished the inside.  I wanted to use all of the colors I colored on the front so I used my Stampin’ Write markers on the stamp before stamping.

  I’ll be sharing the other cards in the next few days. Stay tuned!
