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.

So many fabulous Kit choices – Paper Pumpkin or those in the Kit Collection

February 9, 2023

One of my favorite product lines Stampin' Up! is excelling at is their kits. There are quite a few options but a favorite is Paper Pumpkin. Each month we get a sneak peak of the coming kit. We all have an option of getting one each month or purchasing a pre-paid subscription. I usually get a pre-paid during Sale-a-Bration so I earn free product at the same time.

We have until the 10th of each month to opt in for the coming kit. That's tomorrow! This month it's the Sunshine & Smiles kit; it coordinates with the Rain or Shine suite in the current Jan-June mini catalog.

Save

They had offered a pair of die-cuts that match the stamps in this kit but they sold out.

Opt in here to subscribe to monthly kits – remember you have full control of which kits you receive. Skip a month or cancel. Or choose a pre-paid subscription here. When you get a pre-paid for 3 months or more you can choose free Sale-a-Bration choices too! At least through February 28th.

I recently made the cards in the Saying Thanks kit and LOVE how they turned out!

Another new and exciting kit is the Wreath of Blooms kit.

Save

Everything you need to make this kit is includes but they do recommend hot glue to adhere the flowers to the wreath. It's about 8" around and costs $13. See it here.

You might also like to know that my favorite kits – the Birthday Organizer kit – is back and available again. It was so popular they ran out.

Around the Bend with the stunning Fine Shimmer paper

February 8, 2023

Here's another sample of the Around the Bend bundle. This time I featured the Dainty Flowers DSP from Sale-a-Bration and the Fine Shimmer specialty paper.

Save

The Fine Shimmer specialty paper comes in three colors – two 12 X 12" sheet of each in Soft Succulent, Gold & Fresh Freesia. You can see it here.

I cut the curved layers and the leaves in the bundle from the Soft Succulent sheet. Because this specialty paper is slightly thicker than most papers I added a shim of copy paper in my sandwich. It helped a lot!

Below you can see this Around the Bend bundle. I think the curves are totally unique from anything we've had before. I evenlike the greetings!

Save

You can choose from Photopolymer (clear) or Cling (red rubber) when ordering this stamp set or bundle. There are several with this option in the 2023 Spring catalog. See it here.

I made a bunch of these for our January card swap with my Flowerbug's Team. We hold an optional swap each month with a variety of themes. This time was to use products from the Sale-a-Bration or 2023 Spring catalog.

Save

You can see another pretty card here using this same bundle.

Below is the video where I made this card; it's the 2nd project.

A pretty Tri-Fold card with the Around the Bend bundle – video too

February 7, 2023
I created this pretty card for last week's FB Live video. I featured 3 cards with the Around the Bend bundle. This might be my favorite.

Save

The colors include White, Soft Succulent & Petal Pink. The Around the Bend bundle can be seen here. It was one of my top picks from the Spring catalog.

Did you know there are a few stamp sets in the 2023 Jan-April Spring catalog that are available in either Photopolymer or Cling rubber? You can choose which one you'd like! Love this option. I believe they are offering the choice to see what we prefer and if it's feasible to offer both.

Save

Here's how it looks open. I added a piece of Evening Evergreen under the die-cut front flap to show off the pretty, delicate dots & curve. I trimmed the edge of this Evergreen layer with a paper snips.

Save

Here are the measurements:
- White 5 ½” X 11” scored at 4 & 8”
- Soft Succulent 5 ½” X 4 ¼”
- Evening Evergreen 5 ½” X 2 ¾”
The flowers & leaves are also from this bundle. I added the large flower & leaf layer with Dimensionals so it caught the upper flap, holding it closed.

Save

Below is the video where I made this card; it's the third and last project.
