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.

Butterfly Bouquet Fun Fold cards with video!

March 3, 2021

I truly love the new Butterfly Brilliance products seen here. They are so easy AND fun to play with. I made three special fun fold cards on my FB live yesterday. Scroll down to see the video below:

This first card makes the most of this beautiful Butterfly Bijou designer paper! Use the side strips leftover after you die-cut the 6 butterflies from the designer paper. So cool to make use of the pretty edges!

Below you can see how it opens as well as the measurements to make more!

Next is a fun latch card using the Classic Label punch.

I created my own designer paper by stamping the butterflies on Black CS using White Craft ink. Easy and quick! Watch the video below to catch the tips on this fun card.

Watch the video below to catch the tips on making these fun latch cards.

Lastly is a double point fold card. The two pieces of Designer paper are 2 1/2" X 4" scored 1/2" on the long side. You need two pieces to attach under the White CS layer. Again, watch the video below to get the details.

I shared how I made that striking solid colored butterfly in the video. I just love these products! See them here.

I hope you watch the video below where I share how to make each of these neat cards!

Butterfly Bouquet & the Origami Window Fold

March 2, 2021

Here's another favorite project I've made with the new Butterfly Bouquet products. Are you a fan of butterflies?

Save

I call this unique fold the Origami Window. It's done by folding a 4 X 4" piece of designer paper a few times. See details here or watch my video here.

The colors are Highland Heather and Pool Party. See the neat texture on the purple CS strip? That's one of the dies in the Butterfly Wings dies! You can see them here:

Save

That pretty texture on the inside White square is from the Meadow Moments pair of embossing folders seen here. They fit in your die-cutting machine but they were made narrow enough to fit in the new Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine too!
