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.

Easy Wildflower Birthday fun fold with free project sheet & video tutorial

April 28, 2025

I'm excited to share this card with you today.

Save

It's a type of Z-fold but different than I've seen before. With two quick score lines you have an easy & unique card fold! I love how this card gives you three ways to show off our coordinating DSP.

I featured the Wildflower Birthday specialty designer series paper on these pretty cards. It's filled with floral & birthday prints with splashes of gold foil. It also comes with 2 sheets of die-cut elements as shown below which allows for super quick creating. See it here.

Save

I still have a few of my pre-cut kits to go available with this pretty DSP or the PDF tutorial. See it here.

Save

Here's how the cards look fully opened. For greetings I used the So Sincere which is retiring & Simply Said which is carrying over.

Today I'm sharing two incredible fun fold swaps from our Team card swap this month. The theme was to feature plaid.

Save

Candace created her own plaid using markers on the upper left panel. Wow! He also used the Thankful Garden bundle for her flowers and leaves. This bundle includes dies and masks! See it here.

I love the sponging she did on her die-cut leaves. Her colors include Lost Lagoon, Soft Sea Foam and Highland Heather. The inside die is from the Arches dies – currently unavailable unfortunately.

Next is an adorable fun fold made by Lori.

Save

Note how the front panel with the checkered banner is outside the left side of the card.

She used the Timeless Plaid & Otterly Adorable DSP here as well as the Arches dies.  Inside you'll find the Soft Waves embossing folder with a bit of sponging to catch the texture.

Save

And it opens yet one more time! I love how she added details to every layer on each side. Her greetings are from the Everyday Arches bundle and Arched Wishes set.

Save

Measurements:
- card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2"
- White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
- DSP – front panel is 4" X 5 1/4", checkered flap is 4 3/4" X 1 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
