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!

  • Sending Flowers Die creates a beautiful circle of flowers!


    We made this pretty card at my Flowerbug's Team meeting last month. It features the new Sending You Flowers die that's available in the Coordination Product Release.  You can see all 5 new items here:

    This unique die cuts out the center of your paper; not the outside.  It gives you a beautiful bouquet of flowers in a frame.  That cute greeting banner is also part of the die set. 

    Details:

    • The greeting is from the Timeless Tulips stamp set and is heat embossed in White embossing powder on Calypso Coral CS.
    • The ribbon is the 1/4" White crinkled ribbon colored with the Dark Pool Party Blends marker.
    • The flowers and stems are colored with Blends markers; they color so easily! 
    • That pretty designer paper behind the window is the Follow Your Art paper in the annual catalog on page 165.

  • Under My Umbrella Bridge fold card with video


    This card was a big hit at my Card Clubs in February.  It's a bridge fold card featuring the Under My Umbrella bundle.  See it here. 

    To create this card you'll cut your base card short and add another short piece at the bottom. The Daffodil and Balmy Blue layers 'bridge' the base layers.  Really cool.  And I was able to die-cut the Balmy Blue scalloped rectangle from the leftover piece from the middle.  I love using my card stock so perfectly.  *See measurements below.

    The Under My Umbrella stamps and punch bundle is just $30.50 for both! It has so MANY cute images and wonderful greetings.  I just love it! We stamped the images in Basic Gray ink and colored them in with Blends markers 


    The striped and raindrops designer paper is from the Pleased as Punch paper; available while supplies last now with the Coordination Product Release special.  You can see it here.  It's so bright and springlike! 

     


    Measurements:

    • Balmy Blue 4 1/4" X 6 3/4" scored at 5 1/2", plus a second piece at 1 1/4" X 4 1/4" for the bottom
      White inside 3 X 4 1/4" and a scrap for greeting punch
      Daffodil Delight 3 1/4" X 4 1/2"
      Balmy Blue scalloped die-cut 3" X 4"
      Pleased as punch DSP 2 1/2" X 3 5/8" front, two strips 1" X 4" for top and bottom plus scrap for
      umbrella punch

  • Thoughtful Blooms with the Small Bloom punch


    Here are a few more swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team this month. I just love seeing what my gals create for our swaps!

    The Thoughtful Blooms stamp set coordinates with the Small Blooms punch.  See them here and here: 

    Jacki made this beautiful card.  I love the many layers and details here. And the colors are fresh and unique – Soft Suede, Mint Macaron, Bermuda Bay and White.  She used the new Label Me Fancy punch, the Starburst punch, Leaf punch and the Painted Label dies for the swirl.  The greeting is from the Peaceful Moments set. That gorgeous texture is from the Parisian Flourish embossing folder seen here. 

    Candace made this unique card below: 

    Her colors are Gorgeous Grape, Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green.  Isn't this layout fun?!  the technique is called Triple Stamping.  You place your White layers in position as shown without the Grape layers in between and stamp on the three pieces all at once.  Then add the Grape layers and adhere to your main card.  Super easy and fun too. 

    She added a pretty greeting in Purple Posy with the Stitched So Sweetly dies (my favorite!) and the punched flowers from the Small Bloom punch. 

    Measurements:

    • Grape – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", 4 1/4" X 3 1/4" and 3 1/4" X 2 1/4"
    • White – 4" X 5 1/4", 4" X 3" and 3" X 2"
