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!

  • Sand & Sea Spinner Fun-Fold card


    For our Team swap this month Candace created this pretty spinner card with the Friends are Like Seashells bundle and the Seashell embossing folder.  

    This gorgeous embossing folder has been unavailable for a few weeks; but it should be back in stock on the 29th of March.

    Her colors are Sahara Sand, Navy & Calypso Coral. She used the Oval dies and the Stitched Shapes dies for her spinner.  She also added beautiful shimmer to the shell but it doesn't show up well in this photo. 

    To make a spinner card you need to adhere a length of twine between two ovals adhering the twine under another layer on the main card.  It's not hard; just a bit fiddly. 

    She went above the window card theme and added a surprise flip up layer! 

    Stop back in for more window cards all week long!
