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.

Sharon made this super fun card for our May Team swap. She used all 5 new In Colors!

Save

The circle die-cuts are from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. These dies are a 'must have' in my opinion. I love how she used them as the focal point of her card. She was inspired by a purchased card she received and is using this card to introduce the new in colors to her customers. She used the Plaster Painting embossing folder on the White layer.

She added even more dies to the inside!

Next is a pretty card made by Marla. She chose to feature the Beautiful Gallery suite seen here.

She die-cut the pretty leaves with the Beautiful Motifs dies seen here. These dies are pretty special as some of them only cut out partially which allows for some neat effects.

Then she cut a frame from the Gallery Blooms dies seen here. Once she added the Secret Sea frame over the Cloud Cover die-cut she pulled a few of the leaves to the front, over the frame edge. Genius!

The designer papers are from the Beautiful Gallery 6 X 6" DSP stack seen here. And even her gems are from this suite!

Here's the inside view.

Measurements:
- Card base – Vanilla – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 1 1/2" & 4 1/4".
