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:

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:

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.

• Black & White with a POP of color & ALL fun folds for my 2nd July card kit to go; or choose the tutorial only option

  July 8, 2022

  ---

  I'm always drawn to Black & White patterned paper because it's such a fun start to creating.  Black & White with a 'pop' of color are usually quite striking, eye-catching cards and these are no exception! 

  Each one is a unique fun fold design with great pops of color too.

  I chose to use the Biggest Wish stamp set for my greetings but you can substitute any set you own.  Or add it on to the kit at an extra 10% off.  

  Here's how it works:

  The pre-cut card kit includes $20 in product and you receive the PDF tutorial free.  It's the best deal. 

  You'll receive 1/2 pkg of the Perfectly Penciled DSP (6" X 12"), a share of the Iridescent Pearls and 1/8" Tahitian Tide ribbon.  You'll have plenty of supplies left to make even more cards!  The kit includes all pre-cut pieces including die-cuts or punched pieces.  It does not include textured embossing. 

  The kit and tutorial include 2 each of 5 card designs. The PDF tutorial includes photos, measurements, supplies and step & step directions. I have just a few of these left.  See all of my kits here 

  *Get the pre-cut kit plus tutorial here.  **Choose the PDF tutorial only here. 

  What you need to complete these cards:

  1. A paper trimmer, adhesives & paper snips
  2. Inks and stamp greetings (inks are Real Red, Black & Tahitian Tide)
  3. Die-cut & embossing machine to add texture to some layers

  These cards are uniquely special and can be used for many occasions.

• Get a 2 toned leaf with Watercolor Pencils with the Soft Seedlings stamp set

  July 7, 2022

  Here's another card I shared on this week's FB Live video.  I continued with the same color scheme of Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam. Who knew these colors would be so pretty together!?

  I used the Soft Seedlings stamp set (seen here) from the new Holiday catalog along with the FREE cards & envelopes from our newest Sale-a-Bration line.  

  I inked and stamped the main leaf image in Soft Sea Foam directly onto the Soft Sea Foam card stock.  Then I used a watercolor pencil from the Assortment 2 package to highlight the leaf with the blue/green hue.  Afterwards I blended it with my Wink of Stella pen.

• Soft Seedlings with the new Sale-a-Bration cards & envelopes

  July 6, 2022

  On yesterday's FB Live I shared 3 cards featuring the new Soft Seedlings stamp set.  The first two featured the new FREE Sale-a-Bration cards & envelopes too.

  You might wonder how I achieved the two-toned look of the leaf. I stamped it first in Soft Sea Foam and removed a bit of the ink on the edges with a sponge dauber.  Then I added Pool Party ink to those same areas. Huff and stamp!   Watch the video here to see how it's done. 

  There is a vellum leaf on the stamped leaf for both texture and shimmer.  I sponged the punched leaf (Bough punch), sponged a bit of color and curled the leaves.  Lastly I added Wink of Stella to both leaves for a pretty shimmer effect.

  I trimmed off 1" along the bottom edge of the card base and adhered it to the inside. 

  Then I cut a white scalloped edge using the Contour Scalloped dies.  I textured the 1 1/4" Pool Party card stock strip with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder seen here.  I LOVE this folder!  I attached the embossed layer to the scalloped White trim and then adhered to the card front.

  The 'hello' is stamped on a die-cut from the Tea Cup dies and added over two bows; one with Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon and another with White twine.
