Beautiful Gold foil cards made with the Season of Elegance DSP


Today I’m sharing two more beautiful swap cards by my Team. Out November theme was to feature either foil designer paper or metallic heat embossing.

First up is Tracey’s stunning easel card:

She featured the ‘A Child is Born’ stamp set and heat embossed it on a Gold foil die-cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies. There are tons of details on her gorgeous card; I’ll highlight a few:

I think my favorite thing about her card is what she heat embossed the greeting with. Gold embossing powder wouldn’t show up very well so she mixed Copper and Black embossing powders and used that. Genius!

Measurements:
– Mossy Meadow card base 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″. Cut from the center score line down one side at 1″ and again at the other side at 1″. Now score that center piece at 2 1/8″
– DSP strips are 1″ X 4 1/4″
– Gold circle die-cut is approximately 3 7/8″
– inside vanilla is 3 1/4″ X 4″
– Greeting die-cuts are 2 1/2″ long X 7/8″ tall

A stunning Christmas card Tracey!

Next is a pretty card made by Lori who used a few of the same products on her card.

She added lots of texture to her card with four different embossing folders. Those include the Sunflower 3D, Birchwood, Gathering Leaves & Soft Waves folders. These are in 1 1/4″ squares.

Her colors include Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Gold foil and Very Vanilla. The greeting is from the Prairie Grass stamp set.

It’s quite a striking card Lori. Thank you!

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.

  • NEAT Center Pop-up Fun Fold card with video & free project sheet


    I hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend.  We are having a quiet one at home, getting yard work done and also enjoying time off together. We've had lovely rain lately. The grass is green and I hope my garden takes off once the weather warms up a bit. 

    On last week's Live I made a super neat fun fold card.  This photo shows the card front which starts out as a gatefold card. 

    I chose the Wildflower Designs bundle because it seems to have everything I like in a bundle – florals & botanicals, lovely greetings and wonderful dies too.  

    The designer paper is the Country Woods seen here.  It's currently unavailable as they ran out of stock. But it should be back within a week or so.  That pretty die-cut circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.  Love these dies so much! 

    Here's what it look like open: 

    I was inspired by two of my team members to try this fun fold card layout.  I thought it looked quite complicated but they assured me it wasn't.  They were right!  It was just a few extra score and cut lines. I hope you'll watch the video below to see how it's done.  

    The center dies are included in the Wildflower Designs bundle seen here.  All of these patterns are included in the Country Woods designer series paper pack. No wonder it's already sold out!  

     

    Compare these cards; I changed both the front and the inside.

  • Last set of swaps made by my Team using the new In Colors


    Here are the last of this month's Team swaps:

    Mary made this pretty card using two new In Colors – Petunia Pop & Summer Splash.

    She used the new Unbounded Love bundle and the Unbounded Beauty designer paper.  The bundle is not available right now and the DSP is in low inventory. Popular items for sure!! The embossing folder is Distress Tile 3D. 

    Measurements:

    • White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4".
    • Petunia Pop 5 1/4" X 4" & 3 1/2" X 2 3/4"
    • Summer Splash 5" X 3 3/4"
    • DSP 3 1/4" X 2 1/2" 

    Rita made this cute card with the 2024-26 In Color designer paper. 

    Her card base is White as is her textured layer although it's hard to see here.  She added a Nested Essentials DSP die-cut vertically that adds some fun interest to the card.  

    ~~~

    Lastly is Paula's pretty card; she used the same colors and designer papers as Mary's card above. Petunia Pop is beautiful with Summer Splash. 

    She used the Unbounded Beauty suite here; see it on page 54 of your new Annual catalog. It starts out as a center gate-fold card but turns into so much more when you open it!  

    It's a center fold pop up card!  I was amazed by it and thought it looked super hard to make.  She assured me it wasn't so I took on the challenge and made one on my Tuesday Live video seen here.  

    Isn't this an amazing card?  It looks so challenging to make! 

    I'm not going to share measurements for this card today since it's very similar to the card I shared on the Tuesday video.  I will post the video & free project sheet for my card on Monday.

    Thank you so much for the inspiration & encouragement Paula.  You were right; this card was easier than I thought!

  • Neat card layouts you’ll love on these Team swaps!


    Today I'm sharing more of our Team swaps from our latest gathering.  

    First up is Tracey's swap featuring the Full of Life designer paper.

    This pack of paper is filled with bold patterns and bright colors; see it here.  She layered 3 pieces of designer paper with Berry Burst card stock. The greeting is heat embossed on the back side of one of these patterns.  

    The butterflies are from the Paper Butterfly Accents seen here. They are available in the online store now. 

    Measurements:

    • White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
    • DSP – largest 4 1/2" X 3", tall 2" X 4", 2" square
    • cardstock layers – largest 4 3/4" X 3 1/3", tall 2 1/4" X 4 1/4", 2 1/4" square
    • Greeting is 3/4" X 2 3/4" (used the Happy Labels Pick a Punch on the ends) 

    Next is a beautiful card made by Ginny; she chose the incredible Thoughtful Journey designer paper (out of stock & unavailable until the week of May 27th).

    I shared another version of this card here last week.  

    To make this card you need just a few pieces of paper to start with, plus your greeting. 

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 3 1/2" square – cut from the left side at 1/2", 3/4", 1" and 1 1/4"
    • Misty Moonlight card stock is 4 1/4" X 3" 

    Next is a soft & pretty card made by Jonna. She chose to feature the Cheerful Daisy stamp set & coordinating dies seen on page 75 of the Annual Catalog. 


    Her fresh color combination is Lemon Lolly with Soft Sea Foam. She added this pretty soft yellow ink to the daisy centers and layered the dies so nicely they look super realistic!  The embossing folder is the Exposed Brick 3D which is currently out of stock; but it will be back! 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4", upper layer is 5" X 2 1/4"
    • Lemon Lolly layer 5 1/4" X 4"
    • White textured is 5" X 3 3/4", stamped White is 5" X 2"

    I'll be back with more swaps tomorrow!
