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.

Quarter Diagonal cards; watch on FB Live tonight!

September 14, 2020

If you're like most stampers you have a LOT of Designer Paper stocked up. I've been on a mission to use mine up and help you with ideas to use yours too. There's always more we want; so here's a way to use some so you don't feel so bad about purchasing more! Ha!

Below are the cards we're making tonight on Facebook Live – Stamp with Me. It's the 2nd and 4th Monday nights each month at 7:30 pm CT. Join me here.

Be sure to follow my FB page so you get notified when I'm live.

I chose to use the Magic in the Night designer paper; seen here in our Halloween DSP in the 2020 Holiday catalog. I love the colors of Pretty Peacock, Cajun Craze, Black, Blackberry Bliss and White. And as you can see some of the designs are not all Halloween!

Save

The greetings and die-cuts are from the Celebration Tidings Bundle seen here. I love that it has multiple holidays and these dies are amazing!

Here's how you create the diagonal layers; it's so easy!

For 2 cards, cut 2 pieces of Designer paper (or card stock) at 4" X 5 1/4". Then cut each in half on the diagonal. Next put those pieces back together on your paper trimmer to reform the full piece (just placing; not gluing) and cut on the diagonal in the other direction. Now you'll have 4 triangle shaped pieces from one 4" X 5 1/4" piece.

I chose two coordinating pieces of DSP that would work on all 4 sides and that makes 2 full card fronts.

Save

For the card below I chose to use the Gilded Autumn specialty DSP. The colors here are Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and Vanilla.

This fun, versatile stamp set is my good friend Susie Wood's Million Dollar Achiever stamp set. She created it to coordinate with the Jar Punch. Click here to see it online. We've been stamping buddies for years since we met at my first Founder's Circle event and always hang out together at every SU event we can. Click here to see her blog.

Aren't they fun? I cased three cards she made and sent me and changed them up a bit; some more than others.

The colors above are Pumpkin Pie with Crushed Curry & Early Espresso. That gorgeous designer paper is from the Plaid Tidings seen here. I used three punches here; the Fancy Tag Topper, the Jar punch and the Autumn Punch Pack.

- Lovely Labels Pick a Punch
- In Good Taste Designer Series Paper
- Nothing's Better Than stamp set

She sent this gorgeous card too, congratulating me on my Million Dollar in Sales achievement.

Isn't it beautiful? She used the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and dies bundle and the In Good Taste DSP. If you want to know how to make this Double-point fun fold card here's a link to a video I made.

I am so grateful for the fabulous friends I've made; both online and in person. I would say I have the best job ever; but it doesn't feel like a job! I'm loving it. And like my stamp set says, Life is Beautiful!
