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:

Changing Leaves 1 Save

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

CHANGING LEAVES BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

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. 

Changing Leaves diagonal. Save

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. 

Changing Leaves both Save

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!

  • What a Fun Sketch! Check out #CC 57 made with the pretty Favored Flowers DSP

    We have 2-3 sketch or color challenges each month on our Flowerbug's Team.  I decided to use the Favored Flowers Sale-a-Bration designer paper for my version.   

    Sketch CC Favored Flowers Save

    I also used the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder and Happy Labels stamp set. Both are new in the Jan-June Spring catalog.  

    I love this sketch because it's simple and unique.  A few rectangles and a strip of card stock are your starting point. Then add other elements as needed.  My diagonal strip is going the opposite way but that's okay; sketches are a starting point that you can change as needed. 

    Sketch 38 Save

    My measurements are: 

    • Petal Pink card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • DSP 2 3/4" X 4"
    • Calypso Coral  2 1/2" X 4"
    • Evergreen 1" X 5"

    I did fussy cut a flower from the pretty Favored Flowers DSP. See it here. 

    FAVORED FLOWERS 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    This designer paper is free with any $50 purchase during our SAB (Sale-a-Bration) promotion through February 28th.  But remember that it's while supplies last!  

    Sketch CC Favored Flowers Save

    Sketches are a wonderful starting point to creating a card.  I highly recommend them.  You can find many on Pinterest; just search card sketches.

    Paula made this cool card with the Dainty Delight bundle; she's so clever! 

    Jan Desert Details Karen G Save

    Her colors are Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight & Night of Navy. 

    Details:

    • She used the partial die-cut technique.  She stamped & heat embossed the flower image first and then die-cut the layered edge to match before texturing it.  
    • That flowery DSP is the Regency Park paper in the 2023 Jan-April catalog.
    • The texture is from the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here. 
    • Notice that little tiny daisy on the greeting banner?  That's the new Loose Daisy Embellishments seen here.  They are not adhesive-backed and can be added with a mini glue dot or a dot of glue.  Each one has a little leaf on it!  

    Next is a pretty card by Karen featuring the Desert Details bundle and the Delicate Desert designer paper. 

    Jan Desert Details Karen G Save

    Her colors include Gray Granite & Calypso Coral with White & Gold.  The greeting, pretty flowers and border die are all from that Desert Details bundle seen here. 

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • DSP 5 1/2" X 3 1/8"
    • Calypso Coral 5 1/2" X 3 1/2"
    • White 4 1/2" X 3/4" 

    Next is a special card made by Candace using the Lucky Clover bundle. 

    Jan Lucky Clover Candace Save

    The Lucky Clover bundle is unfortunately out of stock and not returning. The Lucky Clover punch is now unavailable.  I'm sorry if you had your eye on it!  You can still get the Lucky Clover stamp set though.  

    She used 2 different greens for her clovers – Soft Sea Foam, Soft Succulent & Evening Evergreen.  What you can't see in the photo is the scoring she did on her black background. She used the scoring board on the diagonal to add a scored texture.  So cool!

  • Happy Chinese New Year; it’s the year of the Rabbit

    Did you know that 2023 is the year of the rabbit? The sign of Rabbit is a symbol of longevity, peace, and prosperity in Chinese culture. 2023 is predicted to be a year of hope.

    Look at this gorgeous card my team member Ginny made for a friend of hers:  

    Ginny Chinese New Year Save

    She used quite a few new products on this beauty:

    • Stamps – Decorative Borders seen here (2023 Spring Catalog)
    • Paper – Gold foil & Real Red
    • Other – Easter Bunny Punch, Red ribbon, Gold embossing powder, Heat Tool, Brushed Metallic dots

    Here's the Decorative Borders stamp set:

    You can be sure to see more of this stamp set from me in the near future!

    She cased it from a card seen online. I'm so glad she shared it with me so I could show it to you.
