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!

  • More fun fold cards with One Horse Open Sleigh!


    Here are the other two cards I shared in last week's Live video.  If you're not following me on Facebook to catch the live videos click here to join my FB page!  

    Not on Facebook, follow me on YouTube here. 

    This first card is a Spanner fun fold card; featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper seen here. It's only seen in our Online Exclusives.  

    My colors are Gray Granite with Early Espresso ink. The die-cut trees are from the Horse & Sleigh dies seen here. I added some color to the base of the trees with brown & Gray Granite Blends. My greetings are from the Lasting Joy and Layering Leaves sets.

    Here's the view once the upper panel is lifted.  I stamped a tree from the Horse & Sleigh bundle on the inside.  

    Measurements: 

    • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”.  Cut up to the 4 ¼” score line at 1 ¼” from each outer edge.
    • Greeting strip 5 ½” X 1”

    Next is a double flap card in blues – Misty Moonlight & Boho Blue.  These colors pair beautifully together.  

    This card is a wonderful fun fold layout for 6" papers.  You can make two cards with one piece. Or make 8 cards with a 12" designer paper! The stamps are from One Horse Open Sleigh and Lasting Joy.  

    The side flap is scored and the score line is placed right at the left card edge.  I cover that up with the inside white panel.  

    Measurements:

    • DSP – 1 piece per card 3” X 5 ¼”
    • Card base 5 ½” X 4 ¼”
    • Center flap 3 ¼” X 11” score at 5 ½”, Side flap 5” X 1” score at ¾”
    • White inside 3” X 5 ¼”

    Both of these cards are included in my One Horse Open Sleigh fun fold cards PDF tutorial seen here.  My tutorials can be used for more than this designer paper!  


    Below is the video where I made three of these cards:

  • One Horse Open Sleigh Fun Fold cards with video & measurements!


    On last week's Live video I shared three fantastic fun fold cards featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper – it's an Online Exclusive you can see here.  

    These cards were featured in last month's card kit to go; each card is a fancy fold!  The kit is no longer available but the PDF tutorial is here.   You can see all of the cards in the tutorial below:


    I love this card because it shows off the full beauty of this scenic paper. Whenever I have a pretty scenic paper I want to show off  this is the layout I use.

    Just trim off 3/4" of the upper or lower edge of the designer paper and cut using the following measurements: 

    Measurements:

    • DSP – start with 1 piece 5 ¼” tall X 6” wide. Make your first cut 2 ¾” from the left edge vertically.  From that cut edge cut another piece at 1 1/8"
    • Card base 8 ½” X 5 ½” score at 1 ½” & 4 ¼”
    • White inside 1 ¾” X 5 ¼”


    I used the Layering Leaves stamp set for my greetings.  It's my favorite set from the Annual Catalog; see it here.
