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:

Save

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.

• Two Neat Cheerful Daisy Fun Fold cards by Barb

  September 19, 2023

  ---

  Barb was our Artist of the Month for my Flowerbug's team in August and made this super neat card with the Fresh as a Daisy designer paper and the Cheerful Daisy bundle seen here.

  It uses a long piece of the designer paper, scored and folded to create most of the card.  She cased the idea from Patty Bennett. 

  She added two layers of die-cut daisies to the folds using layered circles as a base for them.  

  Measurements:

  Start out with a 5 1/4" X 12" piece of designer paper and score it at 2", 4" and 6".  Adhere the paper together on the score lines. Then add to a full card base measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".  Now embellish with your die-cuts or punches, layering them in different heights.

  The inside has a die-cut from the Scalloped Contours dies.  

  Next is a beautiful Double-Decker fun fold card featuring Blueberry Bushel and White.

  I made a card like this on a recent video; see it here.  

  This card looks a bit intimidating – at least it did to me – until I tried one.  It's actually quite easy.

  Measurements:

  • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
  • White front 2 1/2" X 3 1/2", die-cut scalloped rectangle 3 1/8" X 4 3/8" finished, front texture 1 7/8" X 5 1/4" 
  • White box for double-decker 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" score every 3/4" and form into a box 
  • Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"
  • DSP 4" X 5 1/4"

  Each month I ask one of my Flowerbug's Team to volunteer as our Artist of the Month.  For August it was Barb who chose the Cheerful Daisy bundle seen here.  They receive the bundle from me free and in exchange I ask them to create a minimum of 5 projects with it.  She did a fabulous job!!  

  This first card is a super neat fun fold card showing off the Countryside Corners dies seen here.
