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!

    The greeting stamp & die-cut are both from the same suite – the Unbounded Love bundle seen here.

  • Beautiful but quick cards with the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More card pack


    I shared this card on last week's FB live video. It starts out with the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More cards and a Basic White Memories & More card base. 

    I scored the blue card and the front half of the card base in half.  Then added a few short pieces of card stock behind the front layers so that layer pops up. 

    The size of these pieces do not matter at all.  Some people use one thicker piece on each side; I used two thin pieces.  It allows the top layer to move independently from the front of the card.  See how it's done in this video. 


    You can see these Memories & More cards here. They come in a pack of 28 – half are 3 X 4" and the rest are 4" X 6". They fit our Basic White Memories & More card bases and envelopes perfectly.  They're also a great way to create larger than our usual cards – 4 1/4" X 6 1/4" finished size.  

    I made more beautiful cards with these products, adding a bit of twine to some along with a few printed greetings from the Saying Something Ephemera pack. 
     

    You can see the Saying Something Ephemera pack here.  It's FULL of tons of greetings you can just add to a card or scrapbook page.  I was thrilled when I saw these in the catalog. They're a perfect solution for quick crafting.  

    Sometimes you want or need to be able to make quick cards; these items are a wonderful way to do that!

    Here are a few more versions of the Puzzle Slider fun fold cards.  I shared how to make them on last week's Live video.  

    This card starts out with a long card base measuring 9 1/2" X 4 1/4". Score at 1" & 2" from each end. See the template below for the upper white & DSP layers. 

    I chose to use the new 2024-26 In Color designer paper for my cards.  This one features the Peach Pie. 

    Now you'll cut the front 'white' and designer paper layers using the templates below.  Adhere the layers together and add to the side flaps of the card base.  Watch the video here or below to see how it's done.
