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.

Textures & Frames; who knew you could create such fun & variety?!

September 24, 2021

At first this stamp set baffled me; what would I do with it? Well leave it up to the creativity of others to spark my own! I got some ideas online and all of a sudden I couldn't stop!

I shared all of these cards and tips on making them on this week's Tuesday FB Live. Look!

Save

The card above is my favorite. It truly makes me smile! That sentiment is from the In Your Words stamp set in the back of the Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's free with a $300 order through Sept 30th. See it here.

Save

You may wonder how I achieved that perfectly shaped smile on these faces. I searched all of my stamp sets for a circle shape and found one in the cat in the Cute Halloween set. Watch the video here or seen below to see how I did it. The eyes are clear rhinestones colored Black with my Blends marker. The colors are Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Fresh Freesia and Pacific Point.

In the video I also share a neat tip on getting a smaller Postage shape from our Rectangular Postage Stamp punch.

If you love quirky and unique get this while you can. This fun Textures & Frames stamp set is free with a $50 through the end of September. *stock up on your favorites and earn it free!

~~~

This next card uses the same solid circle image to create a colorful background for the nice, large greeting in the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set. I also used the Basic Border dies to create the eye catching rick-rack border trim.

Save

These colors include Fresh Freesia, Bermuda Bay & Granny Apple Green.

~~~

Next I added some vellum dragonflies to a colorful column on this White card using the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and the Dragonflies punch.

Save

The greeting is also from the wonderful In Your Words stamp set; I fussy cute it and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

~~~

I love this one too! It's cased from my Team Member Tracey. I had to make one in these colors.

Save

The die-cut swirl is from the Painted Labels dies and again the greeting is from the In Your Words stamp set.

~~~

I was inspired by the card on the lower right (seen by other Demo's) to create one with TALL candles! I used my Stamparatus for both of these cards! Watch how in the video below or click here.

Save

These colors include Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point & Crushed Curry. The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set.

Which is your favorite??

~~~

And lastly is a simple card using the open circle image and a few stars die-cut with the Stitched Stars dies and our Rainbow Glimmer paper.

Save

The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. I love how easy you can create a masculine card with this unique stamp set!

Don't miss out if you want this set! It's unavailable after Sept 30th! You'll also get 10 free hand-made cards from me with a $50 order! Details are below.

CUTE Halloween cards

September 23, 2021
Our monthly Team swap was last Saturday and our theme was Halloween or Fall cards. Here are two of them I'm happy to share with you.

This first card was made by Lori. She is featuring the Cute Halloween designer paper and the Picture This dies.

Save

The pumpkin, ghost & cat are punched with the Halloween punch directly from the Cute Halloween designer paper seen here. This punch is on back order until October 11th. But you CAN still order it.

I really like how she added different patterns & textures behind each window from the Picture This die cut seen here. And that peak of the black & white dsp behind it all really sets off the fun colors.

Next is a cute card made by Candy using the Clever Cats stamp set. See it here.

Save

That cat peeking from behind the pumpkin is adorable. Her colors are Rich Razzleberry, Black, Mossy Meadow, Pumpkin Pie & White. Other products she used here are:
- Double Oval punch
- Stitched with Whimsy dies seen here
- Parisian Flourish 3D folder
I can see this stamp set be used all year. These cats are hilarious and so true to life!
