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.

Blog issues; so sorry!

October 31, 2022

I'm sorry to say that my blog host, Typepad, has been having issues in the last week. So you may or may not be able to view or receive my blog posts. They haven't said how long the issues may last.

I will communicate as much as I can. Sometimes the site is down fully and I have no way to post anything! Photos seem to be the biggest problem.

I think everyone is loving the Boughs of Holly suite seen here; the paper is stunning and the Leaves of Holly bundle is incredible as well!

These are the last swap cards from our Christmas swap with my Flowerbug's Team. I hope you've enjoyed their amazing & creative projects. *Scroll back to see them all.

Marilyn made this pretty card:

Her colors include Mossy Meadow & Cherry Cobbler with White. She stamped a few spatters on the designer paper before texturing it with the Gingham embossing folder before adding the die-cut greeting and leaves. This greeting die-cut with the attached holly leaves is so pretty & unique.

Measurements: Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", DSP is 4 1/2" X 3 1/4", the Cherry Cobbler layer is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2"

Here's a photo of the entire Boughs of Holly suite:

Next up is an amazing card by Paula. She made a vertical Pillar card. I've never seen one before.

The way she attached the mini envelope across the front 'bridge' is so neat. Here are the directions she shared with me:

The dimensions are:
- 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 cardstock in Evening Evergreen
- On 8-1/2 side score down 1/4, 1, 1-3/4, 2-1/2 6, 6-3/4, 7-1/2 and 8-1/4.
- Banish all score lines toward the center
- DSP strips are 5/8" X 5 1/4" and the center DSP is 1 3/4" X 5 1/4", the bridge piece across is 5/8" X 3 3/8"
It folds flat to fit in a A2 size envelope.

Products used include the Mini Pocket Envelope die, the tag was Tailor Made tags and the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch for the greeting. She also added the Flat Jingle Bells on page 27 of the Holiday catalog and the Wintry 3D embossing folder for the texture on the pocket.

The tag pulls out of the pocket for even more interest.

So creative and unique!
