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.

January Hearts for You alternative card idea

January 31, 2025

Today I'm sharing an alternative project I made with the January Hearts for You Paper Pumpkin kit.

Save

Everything you see here is in the kit. The only thing I added was a Real Red Blends marker that I used to change the color of the champagne foil heart to Red. It's fun to experiment a bit!

Save

Below you'll see the 9 projects recommended in the kit. They're gorgeous as is but I like to show alternative ideas just in case you want to get creative with the products. It is really fun to change things up at times.

Once you're a Paper Pumpkin customer you can choose to get any of the extra refills or add on items. The refills do not include the stamps or ink spot but everything else! And they're usually only $12. Wow! See this one here

A unique fun fold card swap with Hugs for Love with Bloom Impressions

January 30, 2025

Tracey made this stunning card for our January Team card swap. I love her colors and layout so much!

Save

Her card layout was inspired by Rachel Tessman and chose to use a Petunia Pop with Blackberry Bliss color combination.

She featured the Hugs for Love bundle and the Bloom Impressions designer series paper (free during Sale-a-Bration with a qualifying purchase from Stampin' Up! See this gorgeous paper here.

It's hard to tell in the photo above that it's a fancy fold card isn't it?

Save

The right flap tucks under the diagonal Designer Paper and To the Point greeting punches.

The measurements for the card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1 1/4" (fold back) and 5 1/2". Both front flaps are textured.

Below is the Hugs for Love bundle that includes the To the Point punch. I love, love this punch so much! *heads up; this punch is now in low inventory; grab it while you can!

Save

There's another stamp set that coordinates with this fabulous punch too. It's called Bright Borders.

Make the most of your card stock & DSP with this Timeless Plaid fun fold card

January 29, 2025

Today I'm sharing one more easy fun fold card featuring the Timeless Plaid 6" Designer Series Paper.

Save

I love this card layout because it makes great use of both your card stock and designer paper. My colors include Basic Beige with Pretty Peacock. The greeting and stitched edge die-cut are from the Mixed Labels bundle seen here.

Save

The card base is 11" X 4 1/4"; scored at 5 1/2". Trim off one end at 3 1/4" and cut it into a square. Next add a 3" square of DSP to that. You'll add that as the layer over the left side of the card (after adding a 2" X 4" piece of DSP). So simple!

I shared 3 fun fold cards on last week's video. If you like fun fold cards I hope you'll access the free project sheets for them all here.
