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.

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

More fun fold cards with One Horse Open Sleigh!

September 13, 2023
Here are the other two cards I shared in last week's Live video. If you're not following me on Facebook to catch the live videos click here to join my FB page!

Not on Facebook, follow me on YouTube here.

This first card is a Spanner fun fold card; featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper seen here. It's only seen in our Online Exclusives.

My colors are Gray Granite with Early Espresso ink. The die-cut trees are from the Horse & Sleigh dies seen here. I added some color to the base of the trees with brown & Gray Granite Blends. My greetings are from the Lasting Joy and Layering Leaves sets.

Here's the view once the upper panel is lifted. I stamped a tree from the Horse & Sleigh bundle on the inside.

Measurements:
- Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”. Cut up to the 4 ¼” score line at 1 ¼” from each outer edge.
- Greeting strip 5 ½” X 1”
Next is a double flap card in blues – Misty Moonlight & Boho Blue. These colors pair beautifully together.

This card is a wonderful fun fold layout for 6" papers. You can make two cards with one piece. Or make 8 cards with a 12" designer paper! The stamps are from One Horse Open Sleigh and Lasting Joy.

The side flap is scored and the score line is placed right at the left card edge. I cover that up with the inside white panel.

Measurements:
- DSP – 1 piece per card 3” X 5 ¼”
- Card base 5 ½” X 4 ¼”
- Center flap 3 ¼” X 11” score at 5 ½”, Side flap 5” X 1” score at ¾”
- White inside 3” X 5 ¼”
Both of these cards are included in my One Horse Open Sleigh fun fold cards PDF tutorial seen here. My tutorials can be used for more than this designer paper!

Below is the video where I made three of these cards:

One Horse Open Sleigh Fun Fold cards with video & measurements!

September 12, 2023
On last week's Live video I shared three fantastic fun fold cards featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper – it's an Online Exclusive you can see here.

Save

These cards were featured in last month's card kit to go; each card is a fancy fold! The kit is no longer available but the PDF tutorial is here. You can see all of the cards in the tutorial below:

I love this card because it shows off the full beauty of this scenic paper. Whenever I have a pretty scenic paper I want to show off this is the layout I use.

Just trim off 3/4" of the upper or lower edge of the designer paper and cut using the following measurements:

Measurements:
- DSP – start with 1 piece 5 ¼” tall X 6” wide. Make your first cut 2 ¾” from the left edge vertically. From that cut edge cut another piece at 1 1/8"
- Card base 8 ½” X 5 ½” score at 1 ½” & 4 ¼”
- White inside 1 ¾” X 5 ¼”
Save

I used the Layering Leaves stamp set for my greetings. It's my favorite set from the Annual Catalog; see it here.
