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.

  • Quick cards with just ONE sheet of the Fresh as a Daisy designer paper!


    The Fresh as a Daisy designer paper seen here is filled with pretty daisy prints and soft washes of colors – many are our newest In Colors and Core colors! 

    Here are the 4 cards I made from just one sheet!

    This one sheet has a bunch of printed, blocked patterns ready to make fast cards with.  

    One of my favorites is this one; featuring a pretty bouquet of white daisies on our new Bubble Bath pink color. 

    I added a strip of White card stock below, ribbon, a greeting and a pretty foliage die-cut which are both from the Cheerful Daisies bundle. 

    I LOVE this one!  Again, white daisies on a washed background. I paired this piece over a strip of Early Espresso cardstock on a Lemon Lolly card base.  I heat embossed the greeting in White on the die-cut in the Cheerful Daisies bundle. White twine finished it off! 

    What a gorgeous scenic background this is!  I dd nothing to it but stamp the stems & leaves and added the die-cut daisies, greeting and gems.  The colors are Copper Clay with Crushed Curry. 

    Lastly is this pretty triple-panel card in Azure Afternoon with Copper Clay.  I cut the daisy panel into three pieces measuring  1 5/8" X 4" tall. 

    Again I heat embossed the greeting in White embossing powder onto a piece of Copper Clay card stock. I added a die-cut daisy to the side. 

    I'm featuring this pretty paper in one of my May card kits to go. I have a limited supply of them so grab yours while you can.  See it here.  

    Which one of these is your favorite?

  • Clever & Amazing interactive triple-tier cake card with video tutorial!


    This card might look like an ordinary card with a layered cake on front but it's not! 


    Each layer opens up to reveal more inside! Click on the very short video below to see it in action!

    The Bright & Beautiful designer paper is new in Stampin' Up!'s annual catalog.  It's filled with fun and colorful patterns in many of our new core colors.  Love this paper!  


    If you've followed me for awhile you know I like to create interesting fun fold cards. I saw something like this card online and knew my stampers would like to see it.  

    I cut strips or pieces of the Bright & Beautiful designer paper into sizes that would make a nicely layered cake.  Each piece is folded in half. Once you open them there's an inside message on each layer.  So cool! 

    And the best thing is that the middle star die-cut hold the lower flap closed which then holds each layer closed. 

     

     

    I have enjoyed playing with the Beautiful Balloons bundle this month.  You cannot go wrong with balloons; they're great for birthday's, graduations, weddings or any celebratory event.

  • Have you made a ‘Book-binding Easel’ card yet? It’s so neat!


    This cool card is made like a traditional book binding fold but turned into an easel card too! 

    I used Berry Burst & Misty Moonlight or Blueberry Bushel for my layers. That cute tag on the front is from the Beautiful Balloons dies.  The stars that hold up the easel are die-cuts from the same dies.  You need to add a Dimensional on one of them. Watch the video here or scroll down. 

    You can see this bundle here online.  

    I stamped the inside with the banner in multiple colors, some stamped off.

    Here's what the card looks when it's flat: 

    I am so glad that we have Berry Burst back! 

    Measurements:

    • Berry Burst 4 ¼” X 11” score at 4 ¼” & 5 ½”, 2nd piece 4 ¼” square
    • Misty Moonlight 3 ¼” square & 1” X 4”
    • DSP 3” and ¾” X 3 ¾”
    • white 4” square

    You can see the Bright & Beautiful designer series paper  here.  

    *I'll be featuring this fun designer paper in June's card kit to go. 

    Click on the photo below to watch the video; I share another amazing fun fold card after this project!
