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.

Fun 4-Way Split Angled card idea; Live video tonight!

March 14, 2022
We're making these fun but easy cards on tonight's Facebook Live. It's at 7:30 pm CT here. I hope you can join me! If not it will be added to my YouTube channel here as well. *Be sure to follow me on FB so you won't miss these lives!

Every 2nd & 4th Monday night's I host a 'Stamp with Me' live on Facebook where we create striking cards using Designer Paper or a fun technique. If you're new to stamping you'll become more comfortable and efficient at it. If you're a seasoned stamper you'll still enjoy it and get new ideas to create.

Tonight I'll share a version of this card; I'm calling it a 4-way Split Angled card.

Save

The card above features the Abstract Beauty specialty designer paper in the 2022 January-June catalog by Stampin' Up! It has splashes of color along with gold highlights. See it here.

Save

If you want to make one of these you'll need card bases, DSP or stamps & ink and a greeting or die-cut like I used here.
- card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored in half at 5 1/2"
- Colored layer 4" X 5 1/4"
- DSP or stamped layer 3 3/4" X 5" (for a wider split use 3 1/2" X 4 3/4")
The Amazing Thanks dies have quickly become a favorite of mine. See those here.

The next example uses the Flowing Flowers stamp set in Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delight. I stamped the images before I cut them in 4 pieces.

Save

You might wonder – 'how do you cut these into 4 angled pieces?' Honestly I cut from the top to the bottom first, just estimating my angled cut. Then I held the two pieces back together and cut from the bottom left to the right side.

It does not have to be perfect! Honestly; just wing it; I dare you to do this without measuring.

Quick & beautiful cards for any occasion with the New Horizon suite.

March 11, 2022
If your style is clean and simple I have the perfect card layout for you! Look at these gorgeous cards!

Save

I stamped a few of the images from the On the Horizon stamp set here. I used the birds a lot! They add a peaceful 'movement' to the card.

I used a version of my 5 at a time template for the card stock layers for these cards. I use this often for the inside of my cards; especially if I need a white piece. When making multiple cards it sure is nice to get 5 pieces from an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet instead of just 4. I get a lot of people who ask me about this template. If you like it I suggest you save it and either print it out or save on your computer for easy reference.

If you look closely at the cards with the trio of trees on them you'll see a 'watery' reflection. It's so easy with this New Horizon Designer Series Paper. I shared how in the video here.

The New Horizons paper is on low inventory at this time. If they run out the item will be shut off until they restock.

Save

Here's how this simple reflection is done.
1. Stamp the tree on the horizon line using full ink.
2. Do not ink again.
3. Turn the stamp upside down and simply stamp under the first image. Easy, instant reflection.

Measurements:
- White card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored in half at 5 1/2"
- Designer paper 3" X 4 1/2"
- Card stock layer 3 1/8" X 4 5/8"
- greeting strips 5/8" X 3"

Waves of Inspiration scene with masking & blending techniques

Although after stamping, masking, blending and sponging over 20 cards I was regretting my decision! But I am proud of it so it was worth my efforts.
