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.

Dragonfly Garden Quick Fun-fold Card with video!

June 15, 2021
We made this pretty dragonfly card at last month's Card Clubs.

I knew I wanted to use the new In Color shimmer vellum and thought the Dragonflies punch would work perfectly. It sure did! I wish you could see the shimmer in person; it's beautiful!

Save

They had a choice of Polished Pink or Fresh Freesia for their card and could punch a variety of colors for their dragonflies.

Save

We used the Dragonfly Garden stamp set which is bundled with the Dragonflies punch in the bundle seen here. See how the wings are curled? The bone folder works beautifully for this. *Watch the video below to see how it's done.

Tip: I recommend using Stazon Black ink when stamping on the vellum so it dries quickly. Vellum paper doesn't 'absorb' ink easily so it can stay wet a long time.

Save

Below are the measurements for you and Download May Dragonfly Garden fun fold here
- Black base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
  Fresh Freesia or Polished Pink 3 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
  In Good Taste Designer paper 3" X 5 1/4"
  White strip 1" X 3"
  Shimmer Vellum scraps for Dragonfly punches

Plentiful Plants Cards

June 14, 2021

I took some time to play with the new Plentiful Plants bundle last week and came up with these cards:

Save

Can you believe that both the brick, the pots and leaves are all cut from the designer paper? I did stamp the plant on the left but the others are all die-cut from the Bloom Where You're Planted DSP. I love when Stampin' Up! gives us paper and dies that coordinate.

Save

The bottom Soft Succulent CS is made with the Stitched Leaves die; one of my new favorites! See it here.

~~~

This next card also features the Bloom Where You're Planted DSP.

Save

Each of the three plants & pots are from the DSP except for the bowl in the center. That is a die-cut made from Cinnamon Cider CS. I placed them on a die-cut from the Hippo & Friends dies. I sponged the bottom with Cinnamon Cider ink.

This card is 4 1/4" X 11" and scored at 1 1/4" and 6 3/4". The right flap is glued down and has a 1" X 4" Soft Succulent strip adhered to it. It was textured with the Macrame 3D embossing folder seen here.

Bright Color Combo card with the new Watercolor Shapes set

June 11, 2021

I have lots of creative challenges for my Flowerbug's Team and this time it was a color challenge featuring Night of Navy, Magenta Madness & Granny Apple Green. Fun, vibrant colors I knew would be fun to play with.

Save

I cut off an inch from the right edge of my Navy card and added a strip of Granny Apple Green DSP on the inside edge.

I chose to use a stamp set that I hadn't used yet; Watercolor Shapes seen here.

Save

I stamped the watercolor shapes all over the 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" White CS but I did stamp off first for a lighter hue. The greeting stands out more then.

I found a 'hello' greeting in each of the following stamp sets; Blossoms in Bloom, Create with Friends, Timeless Tropical, Sweet as a Peach, Artistically Inked & Sweet Strawberry. I had no idea we had that many 'hello's' in our sets!

What do you think of this color combination?

Save

I stamped a few of these images twice and fussy cut them so I could add some dimension to the card front. I also added the new In Color Square Gems and a few of the Clear Epoxy Essentials that I colored Granny Apple Green with a Blends marker.
