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.

Check out these cards made with the new Paper Tag bundle

May 23, 2025

I was thrilled to get this cute card in my swaps at the Disney trip. It's made by Kylie Henshaw from the UK.

Save

She used an embossing technique here; sponging colors on the white card stock first and then stamping and heat embossing the image in Black embossing powder. What a fun card! The bundle used here is the Paper Tags bundle seen below.

This next card was made by Sara, the CEO of Stampin' Up!

Save

This card was attached to this neat tote (seen below) that was one of our extra gifts on our Disney trip. The colors include Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Strawberry Slush ribbon. The die-cut and greeting are from the Paper Tags bundle seen here.

Save

The tote was filled with lots of snacks and beverages. But you know how cats are with boxes or totes! At the first opportunity Sadie jumped in and claimed it.

Adorable Poppin’ By card swaps

May 22, 2025

Today I'm sharing 3 adorable cards made with the Poppin' By bundle from our latest Online Exclusive release.

Candace made this amazing fun fold card for our May team swap:

Save

She folded her card front into a box and added lots of sponged popcorn and the cute box on the lower front. Note his sunglasses & shoes! They're part of the stamps & dies bundle. The corrugated card stock on the front mimics a box so well.

Save

Do you see the window sheet strips on the two pieces of popcorn coming out of the box? They flutter when you move the card. She also added a 'wobble' to the top piece of popcorn. Love this so much!

Here's the Poppin' By bundle – stamp set & dies. So cute! See it here:

I received a few cute popcorn cards with my Disney swaps.

This first one is made by Marcia Besecker. She added so much detail to her card!

Save

Lots of texture and fun details on this one!

Next is an adorable swap card made by Amy Storie. I love her choice of colors and the fun accents she added to her card.

This bundle is super cute don't you think?
