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!

  • Quick & Easy Easel Calendar cards with video!


    Look at this pretty Easel Calendar card made with brand new products!  

    I used product from both new Stampin' Up! 2021 catalogs.  The designer paper is called Paper Blooms and it's free with a $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. Click here to see it.

    The dragonfly & greeting are from the Dragonfly Garden bundle.  It's in the 2021 Spring catalog and you can see it here. 

    These easel cards are so simple to make!  The scored, square piece is adhered to the inside bottom of the main card.

    Measurements:

    • card base 4 1/4" X 11"
    • easel 4" square.  Score at 1/2", 2" and 3 3/4"

    Here are a few more I created as gifts for my customers in December.  These calendars can be found online at a few different sites.  Just google 'mini tear off calendar'. 

      

    These are made with designer papers from the Annual Catalog.  The left one above features the Artistic Blooms; the right is the Ornate Garden.  The greeting is from the Friend Like You stamp set.

    The pretty one below is made with the Forever Greenery designer paper. Who wouldn't want one of these at their desk?

  • Beautiful Vine Design with Oh So Ombre with video!


    What do you think of the Oh So Ombre designer paper?  Have you seen it yet?  If not look here.  

    It's a 6 X 6" pack of 48 sheets of Designer Series Paper.  There are 2 designs and 4 colors in this pretty pack and it's FREE with any $50 order during  Sale-a-Bration! 

    I created this card with it for a Flowerbug's swap a few weeks ago. The first card features the Bermuda Bay color in the pack.   

    Of course I chose to use all new products!  The pretty stitched outline is from the Stitched with Whimsy dies seen here.  I love that they don't actually cut; they just stitch a pretty outline. You can really notice the Ombre since I switched the die when I inserted it back in the window. Watch how in the video. 

    The intricate die is from the Flowering Vines die.  It's part of the bundle with the Vine Design stamp set which is where the greeting images are from.  See them here. 

    Here I used the BlackBerry Bliss piece of DSP.  Which do you prefer?  

    I hope you watch the quick video I made featuring these new products.
