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.

Sending Love Artist of the Month – party 2

April 17, 2024
Here are the second set of Sending Love cards by our Artist of the Month – Donna. See the first batch here.

First up today is a fabulous fun fold card.

Save

I often forget to cut apart my sentiment like this. It sure adds a playful note!

The cute grass and mailbox die-cuts are all from the Sending Love bundle seen here. The stamp set & dies are returning in the new Annual catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off.

Save

It starts out as a vertical card with this cute mailbox scene. But when you open it…… you get a horizontal card!

Save

I only opened the upper flap in the photo above. You can see how it turns from a vertical card to a landscape card. Here's what it looks like fully opened. I love that you can read the greetings either way!

Save

Measurements:
- Balmy Blue card stock – 2 pieces at 10 1/4" X 4 1/4". Score each in at 4 3/4". Then mark at 4" and score from that mark to the outside corner. The two pieces are adhered together in the center (under the large white layer)
- White – inside is 5 1/4" X 4", side triangles started out at 3 3/4" square; cut in half on the diagonal.
~~~

Next is a sweet pocket card. Don't you love her beautiful sponging?!

Save

This card has a hidden pocket between the layers. See that little envelope sticking out?

Save

Measurements:
- Moody Mauve – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
- Sponged Postage die-cut 3 5/8" X 5"
- Inside White 2 7/8" X 4 1/8"
- Bubble Bath 3" X 4 1/4"
~~~

Lastly is this adorable hello card with the cutest envelopes on front! These are also included in the Sending Love dies.

Save

She also used the Deckled Circle dies and the Lighter Than Air designer paper (retiring). The envelopes match the DSP – Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly & Calypso Coral.

Thanks so much for creating and sharing these amazing cards with us Donna!!

Artist of the Month showcase: Donna with the Sending Love bundle

April 16, 2024

Donna chose the Sending Love bundle for here 'Artist of the Month' showcase.

Today I'll share half of the cards she made and the other half tomorrow.

Save

This one is a favorite of mine. There's something about the color combination. Vanilla with Lost Lagoon & Calypso Coral. And her coloring!

Next is a card that looks just like a postcard!

Save

She stamped a background on the Starry Sky 'Postcard' layer then added the best 'faux' postcard over it. Below is the inside view:

Save

Next is her amazing slimline card; it's a huge WOW!

Save

Isn't this an amazing scene? She used Azure Afternoon, Granny Apple Green, Gray Granite and the In Color DSP. She created the hills with the Basic Borders dies seen here. They're half off right now at just $17.40 instead of $29. I've used these so often and am very sad they're retiring.

Save

The cloudy sky was created by using the cloud/scalloped Basic Border dies as a mask (top die seen above). She also used the Give it a Whirl dies seen here for the stitched cloud die-cuts; they're just $19.50 and were $39. The 'Sending' die-cut greeting is from the Sending dies seen here.  They're also on sale for $19.80.
