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.

Multiple amazing ‘WOW’ cards featuring the Legendary Ride bundle!

March 13, 2023

Each month in our Flowerbug's Team a member is featured as 'Artist of the Month' and shows off a bundle or suite of projects. In February it was Jane and she chose to use the Legendary Ride bundle. She did an amazing and creative group of cards!

Take a look at these incredible samples:

Do you see the orange racks holding up the bike? She used the 'seat' dies to create it. She also sponged on them a bit so they were 'well used'! Ha!

The background with clouds and the checkered bottom are all from the Ready to Ride DSP. Look at the detail on her motorcycle! The dies are incredibly detailed.

This next card is a center step card. It also features multiple pieces of the Ready to Ride designer paper. It's hard to see in the photo but she die-cut the seat from the Black foil in the DSP.

Save

She sure made the most of this unique Legendary Ride bundle by Stampin' Up! You can see it here online.

This next card features a pocket greeting on the front. You can pull it up and remove it to use as a bookmark. She textured the front panel with the Metal Plate 3D embossing folder seen here. Perfect texture for this guy card.

Save

She added color to the Ready to Ride floral paper above using a Sweet Sorbet Blends marker. She really showed off this unique designer paper on her projects. I LOVE the shiny black foil accents. See it here.

Next is a great guy birthday card that doesn't feature a motorcycle at all. She added elements from the He's the Man DSP in the Annual Caalog.

Save

And last is this neat card with a road map and bike tread with a more colorful bike. See the Adhesive Backed studs on the upper corners? They pair wonderful with this suite. See them here.

Thanks for sharing your creativity with us Jane! Your creativity & talent is amazing!

Sweet Citrus; in a Lime version too!

March 10, 2023

The Sweet Citrus bundle can make any citrus fruit you'd like. I've even seen people make coconuts!

I've shared three other cards featuring oranges, grapefruit and lemons but today I'm sharing my 'Lime' version.

Save

I used the Sweet Citrus bundle seen here and these colors: Starry Sky, Parakeet Party and Granny Apple Green. I cased it from a card made by Maheswari Rajaguru. I think these colors are stunning together.

That pretty texture on the card front is made with the new Basic Embossing Folders 3D seen here. They're in a 3 pack and in our Online Exclusives product line seen here.

Did you know you can use our Hybrid embossing folders to texture and die-cut all at once? You can use the dies and folder separately as well but together it's faster and saves a step.*Watch in the video below to see how it's done.

Save

I also show how to stamp the fruit perfectly using the Stamparatus. Perfect every time!

Here's a photo of the inside:

Below is a photo of all 4 cards I shared in my recent video featuring the Sweet Citrus bundle. Oranges, limes, grapefruit and lemons! This bundle is a true gem!
