A gorgeous card with the Joyful Tidings set

November 24, 2025

This beautiful card has tons of Gold accents plus there are lots of neat tips you’ll appreciate. I made it during last week’s video.

It was originally created for our November Team swap. The theme was to use foil or metallic heat embossing. I did both!

Notice the background stamping on the right side; I used the Amber Autumn set with Versamark ink. The greeting is from the Ornamental Christmas set. The gold foil ‘wheat’ die-cuts are from the Amber Autumn dies
The wreath stamp set is Joyful Tidings and can be seen here. I’ve always loved wreaths and used to collect them.

Here I simply heat embossed the partial wreath in Gold embossing powder. It’s stamped on a die-cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies. See the pretty gold hoop? Those are available here and are applied with either mini glue dots or thin lines of Multipurpose Liquid Glue (which I did).

My colors include Basic Beige, Mossy Meadow and Gold foil. I textured the Mossy Meadow layer with the Wreath 3D embossing folder. I also used the Labeled with Love punch to achieve the ‘ticket’ shaped corners.
*look at your punches to see if you can use them in new ways!

This card is a slightly different fold because the second layer is what opens. I created a free project sheet for this card for you. Click here to download or print it.

I also have a video tutorial seen below for this beautiful card and one more beautiful card featuring the Joyful Tidings stamp set that I’ll share Wednesday.

More Team card swaps

March 25, 2026

Today I’m sharing the other card swaps my Team members made featuring Online Exclusive products.

First is Karen’s card made with the Homemade Sweetness suite seen here.

Save

It’s a book-binding fold where the left side is adhered together and just the right part opens.

Check out the embossed layers with the Ladybug Picnic embossing folder. It’s so neat! Unfortunately it’s out of stock right now; but it will be back. If you want it be sure to add your email to the product to be informed when it’s back.

Next is Candy’s card made with the Cutest Crew stamp set seen here. She wanted to use the dies but they were out of stock. They came back for two days and are now out of stock again! Popular set!

Save

Her colors are stunning! Bubble Bath with Smoky Slate and White. She stamped the kittens on the Nested Essentials die-cut and colored them in with Smoky Slate & Bubble Bath Blends markers. The embossing folder is the Hearts of Love embossing folder.

~~~

Here’s Joan’s card featuring the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper.

Save

She layered 3 different pieces of this foiled paper with Pretty in Pink before adding her greeting layer on top. Neat layout!

~~~

Lastly is Jess’s card featuring the Lovely Stripes embossing folder seen here.

Save

The vertical strips of DSP are from the Made with Love. I like how she alternated the DSP strips with the card stock strips. This is the first swap she joined; she did a great job!

Her greeting is from the Cutest Crew stamp set.

That’s it for our March swaps. I hope you are inspired by their creations!

March 24, 2026

The swap theme for my Flowerbug’s in March was to use our favorite Online Exclusive product. I’ll be sharing them today and Wednesday this week.

First is a pretty card made by Jacki featuring the Sunflower 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s currently in low inventory; they sure have trouble keeping these in stock!

Save

She used White with Crumb Cake for a super clean look. The die-cut shape on the textured Sunflower layer is from the Branching Out dies seen here. One of my absolute favorite sets of dies I consider a ‘must have!’

I also love how she added the wrap of Linen Thread around the greeting layer; simple but so effective!

~~~

Her sister Jonna made this next card. Did they decide to both use the Sunflower 3D folder?!

Save

Her card is all Vanilla. Another clean & simple card; both are so elegant! I find when you use mostly one neutral color the card feels quite sophisticated. The greetings on both cards are from the recently retired Branching Out stamp set.

~~~

Next is a pretty card from Kim.

Save

She used the pretty Floral Charm designer paper here with Early Espresso, Bubble Bath & Pecan Pie card stock. This pretty DSP will be on the retiring list in the next week or so. The beautiful leaf die-cut is from the Nature’s Symphony dies seen here. They are out of stock currently but they’ll be back! The greeting punch is our Heartfelt Hexagon punch seen here. I love this punch!

Tomorrow I’ll share lots more of the fabulous swap cards made by my Team.

Springtime Scenes card with video & free project sheet

March 23, 2026

I shared this card last week with a video and a free project sheet. Think of using any designer paper you own. It’s a great layout!

Save

I chose the Easter Joy Specialty paper inspired me with the color theme. Shy Shamrock with Balmy Blue & White. Unusual but it sure works!

It’s a simple ‘fold back’ fun fold where you add one extra score line at 2 3/4″ to this 11″ X 4 1/4″ card base. Of course it’s scored in half at 5 1/2″ as well. I cut the Balmy Blue layer to perfectly layer onto the inside White. It gives the illusion of multiple layers.

That pretty die-cut leaf is from the Pleasant Patterns specialty paper seen here. For my stamps & the leaf die I used the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here. I love this set with the neat dies and stamps.
