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.

  • Magical Meadow & Winter Meadow fun fold cards


    Today I'm sharing two gorgeous cards made with the Magical Meadow bundle and the Winter Meadow designer paper.  Judith created multiple projects using this suite as the Artist of the Month on my Flowerbug's Team for November.

    First is a window card using the Deckled Circle dies: 

    Her colors include Gray Granite & Whisper White. The die-cut greeting is from the Autumn Leaves dies. I've always liked the ribbon tied around the window like this; a unique touch! 

    Measurements:

    • Card back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    • Designer paper 8" X 5 1/4" score at 4", window die-cut is 2 1/2"

    The designer paper is carrying over but sadly the Magical Meadow bundle is retiring soon; it's still available while supplies last. 

    This next card is a fabulous way to feature your double sided designer paper.  

    Start with a 11" X 4 1/4" layer. Score the left side at 1" and the center at 5 1/2". Fold back the 1" score line and secure closed. She used the Deckled Circle dies and the Silver & White ribbon on her greeting layer; both from the 2023 Holiday catalog. 

    Add a layer inside or just a simple greeting like she did. 

    The Winter Meadow designer paper is gorgeous as you can see. Beautiful water-colored scenes make your design work easy! I'm so glad it's carrying over for a few more months.  See it here. 

    I'll share more projects tomorrow!

  • Wishes all Around Christmas card with video & free project sheet


    I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday weekend. We sure did!  We spent it with our kids – playing games, making puzzles and of course enjoying wonderful food.

    ~~~

    Have you noticed the Wishes All Around bundle in the 2023 Holiday catalog?  

    I've always loved wreaths.  In fact I used to collect them and put them up at Christmas time on a big wall in my dining room. 

    I thought this Wishes All Around stamp bundle seen here had a wide variety of pretty stamps and wonderful dies. 

    I heat embossed the tree wreath image in White embossing powder and die-cut it with the coordinating dies. I added it onto three cut panels from the Brushed Gold Cards & envelopes; each one cut at 1 5/8" X 4" and added to my Navy card base. These panels are textured with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

    I love the fact that you can cut the Brushed Gold cards & envelopes into two card fronts; more bang for your buck! 

    Below is a photo of all of the card swaps I made.  I truly love these Brushed Gold cards & envelopes. I've found them quite versatile and easy to use. 

    Here's a photo of this sweet bundle. As you can see it has three die-cut wreaths, snowflakes, trees and stems/berries. All meant to coordinate with the stamp set. 

    I made a second version in the video last week. Which do you prefer?

    Bow on top or on the bottom of the wreath?  Gold or white embossed greeting?


    Below is the video where I shared this pretty card.  Unfortunately this video has some blurry spots; I hope you can bear with me!

    The inside layer is textured with the Christmas Tidings embossing folder seen here.  It's retiring and discounted.
