Beautiful Embossed card swaps with foil accents

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.

Save

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:

Save

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.

**Remember to check out all of my kits to go and tutorials here at my shop; choosing more than one will save on shipping.

  I shared this cute card on last week's video. We made it at my February Card Clubs.

  Isn't it adorable?  My colors include Black, White, Pool Party & Old Olive.  The Cutest Cows bundle can be seen here.

  Instead of using the image that fits the Cow Builder punch for the front we punched the head and body from White card stock and colored in Black spots. We did use the nose/mouth and eyes/eyebrows images though.  

  You can download & print the free project sheet by clicking here: Download Feb 24 Cutest Cows Club

  The grass is from the Garden Meadow dies seen here.  The cloud DSP is from the Sunny Days Sale-a-Bration paper and the striped paper is the Rock & Roll DSP in the Spring catalog.  

  Check out the inside:

  I love the greetings in this bundle that work so perfectly with the cow.  'Milk it for all it's worth!'

• Quiet Reflection and Delightful Floral Fancy Fold card swaps with measurements!

  February 23, 2024

  ---

  Today I'm sharing the last of our Team fun fold swaps. I'm adding measurements for each of them.  If you've missed the previous posts please click on the title of this post and scroll to see each one.  

  The first card was made by Candy. She made a simple fold back card that is so easy but so pretty!

  She is featuring the Quiet Reflection stamp set seen here.  Her samples and the next one sold me on this set. I love that it's a monochromatic card – it's totally fitting for this set. 

  Product used: Deckled Rectangles, Softly Sophisticated stamps & embossing folder (SAB), Gold & Vanilla 3/8" satin edges ribbon

  Measurements:

  • Misty Moonlight card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
  • Vanilla 1 7/8" X 5 1/4" textured layer, inside is 4" X 5 1/4", die-cut is 2 1/4" X 3 1/2"
  • Misty Moonlight die-cut is 2 1/2" X 3 7/8"

  ~~~

  Karen made this next card using the same Quiet Reflection stamp set. Her beautiful card is also monochromatic; using Pebbled Path with Vanilla.

  The front layer opens to reveal a second inside layer that opens.  Quite unique and actually easy to make too.

  Measurements:

  • Pebbled Path card base 6 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4", front layer 2 3/4" X 3 3/4", inside is 2 7/8" X 3 3/4"
  • Vanilla front is 2 1/2" X 3 1/2", inside is 7 3/4" X 4 3/4" score at 3 7/8", greeting strip is 3 1/2" X 1/2" 
  • DSP 2" X 5 1/2"

  Paula made this beautiful card with a few of our Online Exclusive products.  We have sooo many now & more coming in March! Check them all out here; I know you'll see a few new things!

  The designer paper is the Delightful Floral seen here.  She used the pretty Translucent Floral bundle for her greetings and die-cuts.  See it here. 

  Measurements:

  • Parakeet Party card base 11" X 5 1/4" score at 4" & 5 3/4" for the right two score lines. From the left score down at 1 3/4" to the 1 1/4" mark from the top and up from the bottom. Move over to the 3 1/2" mark (from the left) and do this again. Now you'll cut across from the first score line to the 5 1/4" score line and cut across.  
  • Mossy Meadow 2 1/2" square, 1 1/2" X 2 1/2", plus the back card base of 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
  • White inside is 3 3/4" X 5", 2 1/4" square and 1 1/4" X 2 1/4"
  • Vellum, DSP & black pieces for flowers & leaves *she colored her vellum
  • DSP – 2 pieces 1 1/2" X 5 1/4", 4 pieces 1 1/2" X 1"

  It's quite the special card isn't it?  It's called a side shutter card and was cased from Wendy Cranford. This paper and bundle are definitely my style. 

  I hope you've enjoyed our many samples of fancy fold cards this past week.  My Flowerbug's are the best!

• Still more incredible Fun Fold Team swap cards!

  February 22, 2024

  ---

  We had sooo many fabulous fancy fold cards at our February Team swap!  I've been sharing a few each day this past week. Please look back to see them all; I'm sharing measurements for each one!

  Jacki made this stunning Pinwheel Tower card featuring the Nature's Sweetness Suite: 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  Her colors include White, Pebbled Path and bit of Gold foil & Vellum. She also added gold pearls and Gold Elegant Trim. The texture is made with the Exposed Brick embossing folder.  The greeting is from the Charming Sentiments bundle.

  See the Nature's Sweetness suite here; it's huge & filled with beautiful stamps, textures & die-cuts. 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  The picture doesn't do it justice; it's simply stunning! If you haven't made one and want to know how check out this video I shared a while back. 

  Measurements:

  • Center box is 3 1/4" X 4 1/4"; scored at 1/4", 1", 1 3/4", 2 1/2" 
  • 4 pieces at 2" tall X 4 1/4" 
  • Designer paper layers are 1 1/8" & 1 7/8" – 2 each of 2 patterns

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  Next is another incredible card made by Jonna who chose the Gone Fishing bundle seen here.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  She paired it with the Let's Go Fishing designer paper & Twisted Rope 3D embossing folder. This is an entire suite in the Annual catalog and could retired in April. See it all here. 

  When you open up her card it's a gift card.  What a great men's card idea!

  Measurements:

  • Navy card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4", folded layer is 4 1/2" X 9 3/4" scored at 3 1/4" & 6 1/2"
  • Designer paper – striped on front is cut with the Deckled Rectangles – finished size is 5 1/8" X 3 3/4", inside gift card is 4 1/4" X 2 1/4"
  • White front – Deckled Rectangle die-cut is 3 7/8" X 2 5/8" finished, center white is 4 1/4" X 3"

  Oh; this one is so beautiful!  Tracey made this one with the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper. 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  This fold is my absolute favorite way to show off our scenic papers!  the card base has one extra score line and you cut your paper into pieces from left to right so when the card opens it's a full scene! 

  I LOVE her heat embossed greeting; it's fussy cut into multiple pieces and added with mini dimensionals; what a fabulous effect!  The texture on the front left panel is the Exposed Brick 3D emboss folder seen here. 

  Measurements: 

  • Misty Moonlight card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1 1/2" & 4 1/4", second textured layer is 1" X 5 1/4"
  • Designer paper is 6" X 5 1/4" tall. Cut from left to right at 2 3/4" & 4"

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  This pretty paper was available online but is sadly gone now.  *Our Online Exclusives are available while supplies last.

  I shared how to make this card on a video a few months back. See it here. 

  *Stop back in for more fancy fold swaps tomorrow!
