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.

Get more cards in the Gorgeous Expressions of Kindness card kit

July 11, 2024

This stunning Expressions of Kindness card kit from our Kit Collection was released last month. I made time to play with it a few days ago and it's absolutely gorgeous!

Save

I liked the cards so well I wanted to make more than the 8 cards in the kit. It's fun to figure out how to extend the beautiful prints on the cards and envelopes. I decided to keep it simple and add extra card bases and leave the envelopes intact.

See this kit here online:

Save

This first set of cards are almost exactly as the kit suggested except I saved the gold foil leaves for a different card. There was enough ribbon to add a few knots on each of the above cards and still have enough for the rest of the 8 cards seen below.

Save

Below are all three individual cards I made.

For the following two cards I cut the full printed card bases in half. I added 4 white card bases for the left card below. I felt the printed card with the gold foil accents was pretty enough for the ribbon & greeting image.

For the card on the right above I cut down the card front to 4" X 5 1/4" and layered it onto 4 Blackberry Bliss card bases as seen below. This is where I added the gold foil leaves with the greeting.

Save

You can see this beautiful kit here. It's $23 and includes the 8 cards & envelopes, a stamp set, Blackberry Bliss ink spot, gems, White ribbon and adhesive.

Here's the stamp set included in this kit. The flower head fits on the purple flowers to add detail.

A Fun Fold card with the Changing Leaves hybrid embossing folder; video too!

July 10, 2024

Here's the last card in the group of three I shared in last week's live video. I featured the Changing Leaves bundle from the Online Extras.

Save

My colors include Basic Beige and Mossy Meadow with a tiny bit of white and Pretty Peacock added. That beautiful circle die-cut is the largest in the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.

The Changing Leaves bundle includes the stamp set, dies and hybrid embossing folder. You might wonder what a 'hybrid' embossing folder is? It's a folder that has a coordinating die that works 'inside' the folder. It cuts and embosses at the same time. Genius! Confused on how this works? Watch the video here to see.

Save

I cut out all three leaves from the large leaf die at once and each card featured a different leaf. I thought I was smart to design my swap cards this way and save time too.

Save

Two cards feature a diagonal design but they're all quite different. Each one includes Mossy Meadow & Basic Beige cardstock though.

Watch the video below to see how the Changing Leaves bundle with the Hybrid embossing folder works. You'll also see multiple techniques too!
