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!

  • Playful Patterns cards kit to go; time limited!


    The August cards kit to go features the fun & unique Playful Patterns designer paper.  It's perfect for so many happy occasions. 

    I created 10 cards for this cards kit to go in the beautiful array of colors in the designer paper. 

    Aren't they neat?!  This paper totally inspired me to create fun, playful cards.  I only used a few inks too!  Night of Navy, Coastal Cabana, and Crushed Curry! 

    This kit to go includes $20 in product and the 10 cards pre-cut also.  Here's what's included:

    • 1/2 package of the 6" Playful Patterns designer paper

    • 1/2 pkg. of the Playful Patterns Resin Dots
    • the 10 pre-cut cards including punched & die-cut pieces
    • the pdf written tutorial sent in an email

    I used the Many Mates stamp set to finish the cards.  If you'd like to add it on you can get it at 10% off with the kit. 


    This pre-cut kits are available through August 20th.  But there is an option to get the Playful Patterns cards pdf tutorial without the kit too.

  • Holiday Catalog starts today! Check out this Love of Leaves card


    It's August!  And the new 2020 August – December catalog (I'm calling it the 2020 Holiday catalog)

    is live! 

    Click here to see the catalog and here to shop. 


    I'm hosting my Holiday Catalog Open House Wednesday from 2-6:30 pm.  If you're local, stop in and pick up your catalog, browse the displays, check out the ordering specials and of course eat some yummy treats.

    I will share the displays in a video on my FB page this week!

    Here's a card I made for an online swap featuring the new Love of Leaves bundle seen here.  

    I got the idea from a card in the catalog but changed it up quite a bit.  I added a piece of the beautiful Gilded Autumn Specialty designer paper behind the die-cut leaf.  Can you see the stitching around the stitched Rectangle window?  These Stitched Leaves dies stitch on the outside and on the leaf itself!  They're amazing!  

    The colors here are Mint Macaron, Soft Suede & Cajun Craze.  I'll post the card I made with the die-cut leaf itself soon.
