A Fun Fold card with the Changing Leaves hybrid embossing folder; video too!


Here's the last card in the group of three I shared in last week's live video. I featured the Changing Leaves bundle from the Online Extras. 

My colors include Basic Beige and Mossy Meadow with a tiny bit of white and Pretty Peacock added. That beautiful circle die-cut is the largest in the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. 

The Changing Leaves bundle includes the stamp set, dies and hybrid embossing folder.  You might wonder what a 'hybrid' embossing folder is? It's a folder that has a coordinating die that works 'inside' the folder.  It cuts and embosses at the same time.  Genius!   Confused on how this works? Watch the video here to see. 

I cut out all three leaves from the large leaf die at once and each card featured a different leaf. I thought I was smart to design my swap cards this way and save time too. 

Two cards feature a diagonal design but they're all quite different. Each one includes Mossy Meadow & Basic Beige cardstock though.

Watch the video below to see how the Changing Leaves bundle with the Hybrid embossing folder works. You'll also see multiple techniques too!

  • Ornate Garden; simply done


    Today I have another card featuring the new Ornate Garden products; the new early release from the upcoming 2020 Annual Catalog.  You can see all of it here. 

    For this card I chose to use the Ornate Border dies for the pretty edge. The greeting is from the Ornate Thanks set and the embossed daisy is from the Ornate Style stamp set.

    You might see a little halo around the right daisy…. I first stamped it in Terracotta Tile, but it didn't show up well enough.  So I tried to stamp again to heat emboss it in White.  I was off a bit but I'm okay with it anyway. The stitched oval is a die from the Stitched Shapes dies.  

    I made a bunch of these for a swap last month; it's a pretty easy card with just a few special 'extras'.

  • Stamp with me! Tonight: Thursday, April 2nd at 8 pm on Facebook Live


    Sadly, my April events are all cancelled due to the current pandemic.  I haven't had a month without seeing my stamping friends in many, many years!  We're having virtual clubs instead this month but it just won't be the same!

    I know many of you are in the same situation so I decided to do a weekly 'Stamp with Me' Facebook Live on Thursdays at 8 pm CDT. It's a virtual stamping class. Join me Thursday night, April 2nd here on my FB page.  


    We'll be making these 3 cards plus a bonus technique I'll demonstrate. Remember you don't have to use these exact products!  You can easily substitute other paper, stamps etc.

    If you don't have the Magnolia Lane designer paper you can use any other paper you own instead.  It will be fun to see what everyone uses; we'll share our projects with each other afterwards. 

    Here are the supplies and measurements so you're ready to stamp with me:

    Measurements:

    • Card bases; one White 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", two of Mossy Meadow 4 1/4" X 11" 
    • Designer Paper – two designs cut at 4" square. Cut one  on the diagonal in half.  For the other, make a mark at 1 1/4" from the upper right and also from the lower left. 
    • Good Morning Magnolia stamp set

    Extras: (it might look like a long list; but it's mostly accessories) 

    • Black Memento & Petal Pink inks
    • Blends markers – Petal Pink, Light Mossy Meadow
    • one large oval die-cut (largest Stitched Shape oval die or cut a rectangle at 2 1/2" X 3 1/2") 
    • a 1 1/2" White circle and a Petal Pink Pretty Label punched piece. (You can easily substitute any shapes here) 
    • Champagne rhinestones 
    • Petal Pink ribbon
    • Sponge dauber for Petal Pink ink 
    • Mini glue dots
    • Dimensionals
