Changing Leaves Hybrid embossing folder technique; with free project sheet & video tutorial


I joined quite a few swaps featuring our newest group of Online Exclusives and this is one of the cards I made:

It features the Changing Leaves bundle seen here.  It includes a stamp & die bundle AND a coordinating hybrid embossing folder as well. 

I used two different embossing techniques on this card. If you look closely at the die-cut leaf you'll see there's ink in the recessed part of the leaf.  That was done by adding ink to the embossing folder before I cut & embossed the leaves.  Please watch the video here to see how it's done. 

My colors include the new Basic Beige and Mossy Meadow with White. I also ran a piece of Basic Beige CS through the clean folder and added ink with a blending brush afterwards. 

In the two cards below you'll see that the Beige card stock looks different.  The left card was done by blending Mossy Meadow ink very lightly over the textured CS. The right card was done by adding ink to the embossing folder before I textured it. Two totally different results! Again; watch the video below to see how it's done. 

For the greetings I used another new Online Exclusive stamp set called Everyday Greetings. It's a fabulous greeting set. See it here. 

The oval die-cut is from a new set of dies called Greetings of the Season dies seen here. They're paired with a stamp set but are great on their own too. 

Did you know that Online Exclusives simply mean that they're seen online and not in any printed publication? Anyone can order them! See them all here; there are tons of them!

  • Check out these Cute Fun Fold swaps by my Flowerbug’s


    I haven't shared these adorable fun fold cards made by some of my Flowerbug's.  

    First is a happy card made by Joan featuring the Sweet Peas stamp set seen here.  

    I LOVE her bright colors of Lemon Lime Twist with Berry Burst and Pretty Peacock.  She really made use of the Spotlight on Nature dies – 2 in the front AND two in the inside! These dies are unavailable right now but should be back in stock next week. 

    It's a Dutch Door card fold and she really jazzed it up with layers!  See the cute Sweet Peas stamp set here. 

    Measurements:

    • The card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" and she trimmed off the front half at 2 3/4". 
    • Dutch door card stock is 2 1/2" X 4" on the front & inside
    • stamped White is 3 3/4" X 2 1/4" on the front & inside. 
    • White inside is 4" X 5 1/4"

    Next is a sweet card made by Jacki who chose the Ice Cream Swirl stamp set.  

    She featured the Bright & Beautiful designer paper seen here.  Look at the detail on these dies!  

    And she created a gift card holder too.

    Before I share today's project I have to shout out that the new Holiday catalog starts today! Plus my Open House & BOGO event is today from 4:30 – 6 pm.

    I LOVE the Full of Life designer series paper!  This card shows just how fabulous it is!

    The clouds and sun die-cuts make this card extra special. They're from the Brightest Skies dies seen here.  The greeting is from the My Small Business stamp set seen here. 

    It was one of my August Card Club projects and everyone loved it. I coordinated the designer paper to match the card bases; here's another example below:

    The greeting for this one is from the Trusty Tools stamp set.
