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.

  • Honey Bee Fun Fold-card with Golden Honey paper


    Here's a unique fun fold card that's super easy too!  We made them at my March card clubs.  

    They had a choice of colors, either Pineapple Punch or Lovely Lipstick to go with the Golden Honey specialty designer paper. Unfortunately this gorgeous paper is no longer available; they ran out of it a few weeks ago.  It was free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion that is still happening!  Be sure to get your favorites while supplies last and before March is over!  

    On the above card we stamped the hive in Pineapple Punch and added a few die-cut bees and a greeting.   Here's the inside view: 

    And below is the Lovely Lipstick version.  Each of the cards uses the Honey Bee bundle seen on page 30 of your January – June mini catalog.  Click here to see it online.  The Detailed Bee dies have been unavailable for a few weeks but I hope they'll be back soon!  

    And below you can see the video I made for this fun fold card.  

    Measurements:
    Black CS 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 1 3/8" and 2 3/4" from each end, 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" for front
    Honey Bee Designer paper – upper piece is 2 3/4" X 5 1/4", lower is 1 1/2" X 5 1/4"
    Pineapple or Lovely Lipstick CS strip is 1/2" X 5 1/2", 2 3/4" X 3 3/4" for die-cut oval
    White scrap 2 3/4" X 3 3/4" for oval die-cut, inside is 4" X 5 1/4", greeting strip is 3/4" X 3" and

  • Bunny Punch Art; a Pillow Box treat


    I made this project on this week's Facebook Live.  Join me at 11 am each Tuesday here. 

    I have seen a few of these cute punch art bunnies and wanted to make some!  

    I'll be sending one of these to my 6 year old granddaughter; who loves animals and chocolate. 

    It's just two punches to create one; the Medium Daisy and Balloon Bouquet punches.  I used Crumb Cake and Blushing Bride card stock.  The pom pom 'tail' totally makes it a bunny!  These pom poms are from the Birthday Bonanza suite but sadly they are currently unavailable; they're out of stock.  I hope they get more in soon. 

    That fun swirled die-cut circle is from the Painted Label dies on page 26 of the mini catalog.  They are also currently unavailable but hopefully they'll be back soon.  The Poppies products have been very popular! 

    These pillow boxes are in our annual catalog on page 172.  See them here.

    Inside the pillow box I added 6 chocolate nugget candies that are wrapped with our cute gingham designer paper.  I've been featuring this paper a lot lately.  We have it in every color; that's 50 colors!  It's part of a 6 X 6" Designer Series Paper on page 168 of the annual catalog.  Or see it here. 

    The greeting is from the A Wish for Everything.  It has 38 stamps!  It's one of my picks for your free stamp set that you can choose in your Starter Kit.  Why not get a nice big valued stamp set free?  Details below; or click here. 

    Remember that if you want to purchase some of these items to order this month.  Why not get something extra free with your order!  And if you have a big wish list, I suggest you purchase the starter kit and get Free shipping, a bonus free stamp set, a free paper trimmer, a free designer paper sampler and $125 in product of your choice.  All for $99!

  • Reflection Technique with Mountain Air


    I honestly didn't know I'd enjoy creating with the Mountain Air bundle as much as I do.  I didn't think it would be so easy to work with!  

    Even this reflection technique is simple to create.  Do you know why?  Because of the reversible nature of these stamps.  The mountain image is textured on one side, creating the pretty mountain peaks on this card.  The mountain shadow/reflection on the water is made with the same stamp but using the solid side.  


    This card is part of my free written projects tutorial for anyone who placed an online order from me in March.  And it's also free to anyone who orders the Mountain Air bundle too!  You can see this bundle here. 

    If you order it in March you can get a free Sale-a-Bration choice! Below I show each stamp in three ways.  First is the detailed side of the stamp, next is the flat side and lastly you see them together.  Reversible stamps are so neat and Stampin' Up! is super clever to create them! 

     


    Details for the card above:

    1.  I stamped the mountains first, then the trees underneath. 
    2.  I turned the trees stamp upside down and without reinking, stamped them again for a reflection. 
    3.  Next the mountain reflection. 
    4.  Lastly I sponged a bit of light blue on the sky and darker blue for water.  
    5. The greetings are from the Well Written dies and Well Said stamp set. 
    6. Colors are Mossy Meadow, Pacific Point and Smoky Slate
