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.

Another Nature’s Harvest sample – Sneak Peak!

July 23, 2021

I created this card for an online swap I participated in. I love to join card swaps! I can create one card and make multiples of it. Then I get a nice variety back that I didn't have to think of! Plus I receive cards that may not be my style but are my customers style. Isn't it wonderful that we are all different?!

I decided to focus on the 'blues' in the Harvest Meadow designer series paper. I am usually very happy with a monochromatic card. They can be very easy on the eye.

I cut out two of the 'tall flower/botanical' die-cut in White CS and adhered it to the largest tags in the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here. I added a bow in White Baker's Twine. The greeting is one of the dies in the Nature's dies along with the tall flowers.

The Nature's Harvest bundle can be found in the upcoming 2021 Holiday July/December Mini Catalog. If you're on my customer list you should be receiving this catalog AND your Sale-a-Bration catalog any day now. This catalog goes live on August 3rd along with Sale-a-Bration too!

In this photo you may be able to spy the texture on the tag. It's called Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder. It's subtle design will be a favorite of many!

Look at these fabulous floral cards!

July 21, 2021

Here are a few more of my Flowerbug's Team swap cards for July:

First is one made by Paula who featured the Color & Contour Bundle seen here. She stamped each flower and die-cut it with the Scalloped Contour dies. She also stamped the other flower image for the stem and leaves. That large scalloped rectangle is also included in this bundle. There are actually 5 scalloped rectangle in this set!

Save

Her colors are Daffodil Delight, Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink. The spatter background image is in this set as well. Her greeting is stamped on a Tailored Tag punch.

Next is a pretty card by Marilyn. She used the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set. Her background is from the new Stitched Greenery die seen here. She also used the Hand-Penned Designer paper and Circles dies.

Save

Love this color combination of Mint Macaron, Daffodil Delight and Highland Heather. She colored in her floral image with Blends markers. Love that sparkly Highland Heather ribbon!

Lastly is a pretty card made by Roxann featuring Positive Thoughts & the coordinating Nature's Thoughts dies. That wonderful background texture is from the Tasteful Textile 3D folder.

Save

Her colors feature Petal Pink, Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink, Olive and Soft Sea Foam. There are lots of pretty die-cuts & details on her card! The greeting is one of my very favorites.

I'll share more of our swap cards tomorrow!
