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!

  • Welcoming Woods Holiday Catalog Sneak Peak


    With each new catalog I join a bunch of online swaps so I can get lots of samples to share with my customers.  Both the Holiday catalog and a 2nd Sale-a-Bration catalog start on August 3rd!  I know my customers started to receive theirs last week. 

    I loved the Welcoming Woods stamp set immediately.  Nature, trees, 'scene building' sets are some of my favorites.  

    I went for a soft look of winter trees on my card. 

    I stamped the trees in Crumb Cake ink onto the White CS.  Then I added snowflakes in Balmy Blue ink and sponged a light 'mist' of Balmy Blue on the sky.  Of course I added a few rhinestones for sparkle!

    That beautiful Designer Paper is called Harvest Meadow.  

    The tags for the greeting is from the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here. 

    Measurements:

    • Crumb Cake card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • White 3" X 4"
    • Balmy Blue 3 1/4" X 4 1/4"
    • Harvest Meadow DSP 2" X 4 1/4"

  • Fun Swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team with Sneak Peaks from the Holiday catalog


    Today I'm sharing two swaps made by my talented Flowerbug's Team.  I love seeing their style & creativity!

    Karen made this fun fold card using the Bunches of Fun stamp set seen here. 

    Her colors are Black, White & Crushed Curry.  She also used a fun technique called Paper Piecing.  She stamped the gal onto Pattern Party DSP and fussy cut the dress out.  Love this!!  

    See that texture on the large Crushed Curry layer?  That's a sneak peak from the upcoming Holiday catalog.  It's called Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.  

    Measurements:

    • Black – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", 3" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • Crushed Curry 4" X 5 1/4", 2 3/4" X 4"
    • White 2 1/2" X 3 3/4"

    Next is another Sneak Peak card made by Lori.  She used the new Penguin Place bundle in the Holiday catalog.  It includes a cute Penguin punch!  

    She added a layer of White to her Balmy Blue card base and torn the upper edge. She added a bit of Wink of Stella to the torn area for snow.  A super fun winter birthday card!
