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.

Details:
- I also used a new and FREE Designer Paper called Paper Blooms here. The colors are Seaside Spray with Navy & White. I use this pretty color combo often.
- Can you tell it's a fun fold? The Seaside Spray is 3" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". I added texture with the Meadow Moments embossing folder. The Navy layer is a quarter sheet 5 1/2" X 4 1/4".
- I punched a white Small Bloom punch and added a pearl to the center. It's sponged for a bit of color.
- The main image is stamped and punched out with the Rectangular Postage Punch.
Here's a close up of this lovely stamped image.

Corner Bouquet Triple Panel card & a tour of my studio & new catalog launch video

January 7, 2021

Tuesday I held my new 2021 New Catalog Launch party and shared a virtual tour of my studio and Sale-a-Bration & Spring project displays. I did have a little issue with a catch in my throat at the end but most of it's good. Ha!

Below is a fun card showing you a way to use a large stamped image. You can do it two different ways:

Stamp first and then cut into three strips. Or cut into strips, arrange together and stamp all at once. This is what I did using my Stamparatus so I could re-stamp a few times for a nice dark image. I've sure been using my Stamparatus a lot lately. Do you have one? It's so helpful!

Save

After I stamped the main image I let it dry a bit and then ran all three strips through the die-cutting machine to add texture. I used a brand new 3D embossing folder called Painted Texture.

These colors are Purple Posy, Night of Navy & Coastal Cabana. I was inspired to combine these colors by one of our designer paper packs in the Annual Catalog called Playing with Patterns.

The greeting is from the Enjoy the Moment stamp set in the new 2021 Spring Catalog.

True Love Designer Paper; GORGEOUS!

January 6, 2021

The True Love Designer paper is my very favorite designer paper in the 2021 Spring Catalog; it has gorgeous Black & White patterns. I have always found Black & White paper to be the easiest to work with since I can add almost any color I want to set it off. Bright or soft colors all work wonderfully!

I made this card for another online swap a few weeks ago. I just love the easy layout and how it makes the best use of both the Designer paper AND your card stock.

Save

Products used:

Black, White & Magenta Madness CS, True Love DSP, Black ink, Black glittered ribbon, Sweet Ice Cream stamp set , Treasured Tags pick a punch for White CS strip, Matte Black dots

Since Stampin' Up! had to stop offering their Whisper White card stock (manufacturer went out of business) we now have Basic White products. And they're all available again! Yay! Check out this flyer here. Download BASIC-WHITE-ANNOUNCEMENT-FLYER_US

Paper saving tip:

With this layout you can get sixteen 3" square pieces from a 12" sheet of DSP; or 4 pieces from a 6 X 6" piece.

You can get 5 pieces of the main colored layer from a sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" card stock. The cutting template for this is below; I love to use it for my inside layer especially.
