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!

  • Life is Beautiful fun fold cards with video!


    Here are the two cards I made on FB Live last week.  I had to ink up my Life is Beautiful stamp set one more time. Sadly it's retiring on January 4th.  

    This first card is made with Purple Posy & Gray Granite.  I cut off 1 1/2" from the front layer to reveal a bit of the inside.  I used the Stamparatus to stamp both the tree and greeting at the same time.  I love it for mass producing!  Perfect every time!

    I used Highland Heather ink for the bokeh dots in this set; stamped off a few times.  That neat texture is a new folder in the upcoming Spring catalog called Painted Texture.

  • Oh So Ombre cards; quick & easy with my 2-cut template!


    Check out these cute cards made with the upcoming Sale-a-Bration FREE designer paper called 'Oh So Ombre'.  I created them on my Stamp with Me FB Live Monday night.  I created a template to chop up a piece of designer paper into 4 pieces. See the video below. 

    It's a pack of 48 sheets in 6 X 6" size with beautiful colors & patterns with a gradual color change.  One side is smooth and the other features the fun dots.  

    You'll be able to earn this paper pack FREE with a $50 order during our annual Sale-a-Bration promotion.  It starts in just 6 days and runs from January 5th – February 28th, 2021.

    I made these 3 cards with the Dandy Garden Designer Paper (another sneak peak; from the 2021 Spring Catalog) with my template seen below.  

    Start out with a piece of double sided Designer Paper measuring 4" X 5 1/4" and then cut it into 4 pieces using the template below.  Then, mix & match your pieces on a 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base.  

    Tips:

    • This is easiest if you use patterns without a direction on them; such as flowers that grow up from the bottom or words. 
    • Choose one pack of DSP that coordinates well and cut 2-3 pieces in a variety of patterns.  It's fun to mix & match them. 

    Watch the video below to see how and get some creative tips:

  • New: Vine Design Dutch Door fold card


    I made several cards for online swaps featuring products in the upcoming 2021 Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalog.  This pretty fun fold card was one of them.  I gravitate towards anything with leaves or vines so I knew I'd like this set called Vine Design.  

    The colors here are Night of Navy, Seaside Spray & Old Olive with White. I used my Stamparatus for the vine image; it's so perfect for multiple cards!  Perfect inking and placement each time. 

    See that greeting & layered ovals?  We have a new   DOUBLE OVAL PUNCH!!!  I'm so excited about this one.  I've missed out oval punches so much and now both are in one!
