Beautiful Embossed card swaps with foil accents

November 19, 2025

Our Team swap theme was to use foil or heat embossing on our cards. This was a fun theme that is especially easy around the holidays.

Today I’m sharing Jonna’s stunning card in Black, Silver & White:

It’s a ‘Wow’ card for sure! She textured the Basic Gray card layer with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder seen here first and then rubbed it with Versamark ink. Then she heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder. Just gorgeous!

Her measurements are as follows:
– Embossed layer 3 1/2″ square
– Black layer 3 3/4″ square, Black greeting layer 3 3/4″ X 1 1/4″
– White is 4″ X 5 1/4″, White greeting layer is 3 1/2″ X 1″

The greeting is from the Branching Out stamp set.

It’s a beautiful card Jonna!

The kits below will ship out this week so you have plenty of time to finish them by December. And they’re quick & easy too!

The Christmas Tags & More cards are easy because there isn’t any stamping. The greetings are from the gold foil ephemera pack included in the kit.

This kit to go includes a share of the festive designer paper, the ribbon, the peppermint gems, the ephemera greetings, the PDF tutorial and video too. Plus the pre-cut 10 cards that are all fun folds. All for $30 plus shipping. It’s a fabulous deal!

Don’t wait long; I have just a few left. Go here to get yours. *You will need to cut your new designer paper for the cards but my directions make that simple.

~~~

The other kit I created this month is also easy but does require stamped greetings. But there is very little prep & just a little trimming of the card bases to create these beautiful wintery cards:

These cards could be winter or holiday; it’s your choice when you stamp the greetings.

This kit originated from a former Paper Pumpkin kit but I jazzed up the cards and added more to create 12 gorgeous cards. This kit includes 12 envelopes and a share of Peppermint gems plus the PDF tutorial.
I have a few left so grab yours soon. This kit is $29 and you can see it here.

Wow Team swaps for a fun Coaster Calendar!

November 21, 2024

This month my Flowerbug's Team decided to do a Coaster Calendar swap. This was super fun and quite easy when you could make multiples of the month you chose. I do love swapping!

We could use retired or current products on these swaps which opened up a lot of possibilities for creativity!

The first group are January through June:

Save

This next group is July through December:

Save

They're all 4" square and the layer for the printed calendars (which haven't been added yet here) are 2 1/4" square. We punch holes in the top of each and add two 4" card board coasters to the front and the back for stability. *these were purchased online years ago. The printed calendar was created by my husband and I cut it up into 2" squares.

Here's how I decorated the front of mine: I kept it quite simple; a 4" square piece of Winter Meadow DSP along with a die-cut and the year cut out with number dies. I trimmed the corners to match the coaster.

Save

Here's the next group of swaps; some are the same as those above since a few people did multiple groups of the same month.

These are January through June:

Save

And these are July through December:

Each one is fabulous! I love seeing everyone's personal style.

More swaps from my talented Demo friends

November 20, 2024

I have a few more swaps to share with you today. These are all from our newest Online Exclusive products.

First up is a pretty floral card from Susan Campfield. She used the Happy Hibiscus bundle.

Save

This bundle includes a Hybrid embossing folder that includes dies that coordinate with the folder! It's so cool. You can see it here in my store.

In the photo below you can see the die-cut images that are textured. This is done when the die is inserted into the embossing folder with the card stock. Yes; it is incredible!

Save

The next few cards feature the Marbled Elegance suite:

This first pretty card is made by Natalie Travis who made the focus of her card that gorgeous golden stitched heart.

Save

That pretty heart is die-cut with the Hearts of Elegance dies from our new Brushed Metallic paper in both Gold & Silver. See that here.

Her measurements are simple – the DSP is 4" X 3", a strip of Cherry Cobbler is 4 1/4" X 5/8" on a Pretty in Pink card base.

Next is a gorgeous card made by Sandy Carlson:

Save

Her colors are Melon Mambo with White and the same beautiful Marbled Elegance specialty DSP. She also used the new Hearts of Elegance bundle seen here.

Save

Thanks for stopping in. I hope you're been enjoying the swaps I've shared.
