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.

  • The pretty Summer Shadow dies unleashed my creativity!


    I sure had fun playing with the Summer Shadow dies this week. I planned to make 3 cards and ended up with 6! I had to make myself stop, which rarely happens. I started out with this amazing card inspired by one made by Beth McCullough. 

    I die-cut a bunch of flowers & leaves from Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green Coastal Cabana and Magenta Madness and added them to Black CS that I embossed with the Hello & Thank you embossing folders.  The greeting from Shaded Summer is on a die-cut from the Messages die.  See the pink & black gingham ribbon?  It's originally Black & White but I colored it with my Magenta blends marker.

    As you can see in these eye catching cards you can do a lot with these dies!  

    I also made this neat card with a paper piecing technique.  I inserted petals into the outline flower and secured them with tape. The black & White DSP behind the fie-cuts is from the Pattern Party DSP.  It's a huge pack of 48 sheets – a hostess choice with orders over $150 seen here or on page 171 of the annual catalog. 

    The colors are Coastal Cabana, Magenta Madness, Black, White & Mango Melody. 

    The Summer Shadow dies are free during Sale-a-Bration (this promo ends Sept 30th).  Now is a great time to stock up on essentials when you earn free products with your orders.  Card stock, inks, In Colors, Blends markers, Designer Paper etc.  Check these dies out here!  

    I have more Summer Shadow projects to share with you tomorrow! Or check out the FB Live replay video here.

  • Easy 8 Card Wonder with Christmas Season


    Last month my local gals made these cards at class.  It's made with my Easy 8 Card Wonder template.  I just love creating my own designer paper with our gorgeous colors and stamped images!  It's one of my favorite things to create.   

    I chose to use these colors: Old Olive, Early Espresso, Rich Razzleberry, Cajun Craze & Bermuda Bay.

    The stamps include Little Delights, Sparkle of the Season, Thinking, Thanks & Peace; all from the 2021 Holiday Catalog. 

    I stamped an entire 8 1/2" X 11" piece of White card stock using the Christmas Season stamp set.  On the reverse side of this is the printed template so I know just where to cut each piece! 


    You can get the PDF tutorial for this one sheet wonder here on my Tutorial Shop.  Once purchased you'll receive it via email.  Be sure to check your spam or junk folder for it! 

    *Those who've purchased this tutorial from me from my Shop have been sent an updated file free of charge!  

    This tutorial includes 4 different sets of card ideas featuring some of my favorite stamp sets in the past year.

  • Sparkle of the Season cards & box; it would make a wonderful gift!


    I had to get the Sparkle of the Season bundle right away.  It is perfect for many, many occasions and these wreath dies were one of the options I gave Stampin' Up! for one of my Million Dollar stamp set ideas. You can see it on page 58 of the Holiday catalog; or click here to see it online.

    The 4 cards & envelopes fit in the Kraft Gift Box perfectly.  Details on this box below; or click here. 

    I used the Delicate Dahlias stamp set for a few of the greetings here.  Other products used were: 

    • Cork & Kraft paper in the Holiday catalog
    • Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, So Saffron, Soft Succulent, Vanilla & Evening Evergreen CS
    • Inks – Versamark, Crumb Cake
    • Metallic pearls & Artistry Sequins, Banners Pick a Punch, Vanilla envelopes, Circles Collection dies
    • clear embossing powder & Heat Tool

    Isn't Pool Party beautiful with Crumb Cake & Soft Suede?  And our new Cork paper is amazing; thin but with beautiful texture.

    Here's a picture of everything you get in the Sparkle of the Season bundle.  See it here or on page 58 of the Holiday catalog. 

    I bet you're wondering where this card box is from.  It's quite hidden in the Holiday catalog in my opinion.  See it here or on page 11 or 75.  There are 10 in a package and they already have adhesives on the flaps! They fit our A2 cards & envelopes perfectly!  Get 10 for $10. I heat embossed leaves on it for added texture.  Check out the video below for my tip on masking the window. 

    Here's a link to the video; it's the first project featuring the Sparkle of the Season dies. The photo shows my Halloween cards but it is the correct video!
