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.

Year to Celebrate Explosion card with free project sheet & video

December 19, 2023

I made this cute card during last week's Live video. It looks like a simple card front the front but there's a surprise inside!

Save

I used the cute Year to Celebrate stamp set in the retiring 2023 Holiday catalog. This set is reduced from $19 to $11.40 while supplies last. See it online here.

It's great for a celebratory card like birthday's, promotions, achievements and New Years.

Here's the view of the inside:

It's an explosion card that you can add some annoying sprinkles and punched pieces in. That's the biggest surprise!

It also features the Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green foil that's on the Last chance list and has a reduced price. See it here.

How to use leftover pieces to create projects

December 18, 2023

I'm sure you have a few piles of extra die-cuts, greetings or stamped images leftover from other projects right? I seem to have lots! I give bunches of these to my friend Joanne in AZ as she loves to use them to remake cards to benefit the needy.

I had a few extra Santa hat die-cuts left from this project.

It's made with the Sending Cheer bundle. I shared this diamond flap card on a video here. Unfortunately the dies are sold out but the stamp set is hugely discounted right now; see it here. It was $24 and is now $14.40.

I had enough die-cuts and other elements left to create a few more cards; here's one:

The layout is quite similar but it's not a fun fold card. Simple but cute! I used Poppy Parade for this card base. The colorful designer paper is the Merry, Bold & Bright but it's also sold out now. Our Last Chance sale from the Holiday catalog is really reducing our options!

Here's a different card layout using similar pieces:

I had a leftover textured layer that was perfect for the Santa element. It's the Christmas Tidings embossing folder – discounted on the Last Chance sale and seen here.

Save

Easy-peasy and two more Christmas cards made.
