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!

  • A pretty card with the Wonderful World free bundle from Sale-a-Bration


    This is a card I made for an online swap I joined.  I LOVE swapping and getting a bunch of cards back that I didn't have to design! It also gives my customers a variety of cards that might not be my style but could be theirs. 

    I couldn't stop playing with the Wonderful World bundle from Sale-a-Bration! 

    The colors are Mossy Meadow, Starry Sky & Basic White.  I simply added a 1 1/2" X 5 1/2" strip of the pretty Wonderful World designer paper to pull the colors together.  The pattern & colors in the DSP were my inspiration for the card.  

    Here's a photo of the bundle you can earn during our Sale-a-Bration promotion in July & August of 2022.  Any $100 order qualifies you to receive this bundle of designer paper and stamp set!  

    I used the Very Best Occasions bundle for the greeting and the additional corner punch detail.   

    Stop in for another set of cards with this bundle tomorrow.

    Remember that Sale-a-Bration is the best time of year to get free products!  It's smart to order your essentials or from your wishlist during SAB.

  • Black & White with a POP of color & ALL fun folds for my 2nd July card kit to go; or choose the tutorial only option


    I'm always drawn to Black & White patterned paper because it's such a fun start to creating.  Black & White with a 'pop' of color are usually quite striking, eye-catching cards and these are no exception! 

    Each one is a unique fun fold design with great pops of color too.  

    I chose to use the Biggest Wish stamp set for my greetings but you can substitute any set you own.  Or add it on to the kit at an extra 10% off.  

    Here's how it works:

    The pre-cut card kit includes $20 in product and you receive the PDF tutorial free.  It's the best deal. 

    You'll receive 1/2 pkg of the Perfectly Penciled DSP (6" X 12"), a share of the Iridescent Pearls and 1/8" Tahitian Tide ribbon.  You'll have plenty of supplies left to make even more cards!  The kit includes all pre-cut pieces including die-cuts or punched pieces.  It does not include textured embossing. 

    The kit and tutorial include 2 each of 5 card designs. The PDF tutorial includes photos, measurements, supplies and step & step directions. I have just a few of these left.  See all of my kits here 

    *Get the pre-cut kit plus tutorial here.  **Choose the PDF tutorial only here. 

    What you need to complete these cards:

    1. A paper trimmer, adhesives & paper snips
    2. Inks and stamp greetings (inks are Real Red, Black & Tahitian Tide)
    3. Die-cut & embossing machine to add texture to some layers

    These cards are uniquely special and can be used for many occasions.

  • Get a 2 toned leaf with Watercolor Pencils with the Soft Seedlings stamp set


    Here's another card I shared on this week's FB Live video.  I continued with the same color scheme of Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam. Who knew these colors would be so pretty together!? 


    I used the Soft Seedlings stamp set (seen here) from the new Holiday catalog along with the FREE cards & envelopes from our newest Sale-a-Bration line.  

    I inked and stamped the main leaf image in Soft Sea Foam directly onto the Soft Sea Foam card stock.  Then I used a watercolor pencil from the Assortment 2 package to highlight the leaf with the blue/green hue.  Afterwards I blended it with my Wink of Stella pen.  

    These Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam cards & envelopes are a free choice from our new Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here.  I love SAB when we can all get something free with our orders!  Spend a minimum of $50 and pick something absolutely free!  

    These cards & envelopes are one of my top picks in the catalog. The package includes 20 envelopes and 10 each of Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam card bases.  Today's project features the Soft Sea Foam card base. You can use them for lots of cards in the future! 

    Other products used:

    • Stylish Shapes dies for the banners
    • Bough punch with vellum card stock
    • Sponge daubers, Wink of Stella
    • Clear rhinestones with a Granny Apple Green Blends marker to change them from clear to green.

    Below you can see all three cards I shared in the video.  I also shared a bunch of swap cards I received using this stamp set.  I hope you watch it!

    Click on the video below to watch how it's made along with two other cards using this stamp set.
