There’s so much you can do with the Merriest Moments bundle!


On this week's FB Live I featured the Merriest Moments bundle seen here – a beautiful bundle that includes a Hybrid embossing folder. This type of folder enables you to die-cut AND emboss at the same time!  

However it's important to only use the large outline die inside your Hybrid folder.  Do not use the detailed die.  You can use that after or before you emboss. 

Look at these gorgeous cards in Evening Evergreen, White, Red & Just Jade. 

This next card really shows off the stunning die-cut & texture as well as the pretty holiday greeting.  That cute baby poinsettia is made from our Red velvet paper and the dies in this bundle.  The colors are Evening Evergreen, White and Red. 

The set of cards below have a window die-cut in the Thick White card base after texturing.  I did run the front back through the Hybrid embossing folder again after I cut the window because it flattened a bit when die-cut.  *This is shown in the video below or click here. 

I added just a few die-cuts and the greeting to finish them.  Simple yet beautiful! 

Next is a gorgeous card we made at my October Card Clubs.  The pretty die-cut has been sponged with ink before or after it's embossed with the Hybrid embossing folder.  Either way works fine. 

I chose an unlikely combo of Old Olive & Just Jade.  Who knew they'd be so beautiful together?! 

See this amazing bundle here in my store.   

Below is the video where I show how to make most of these cards.  I hope you watch it and get inspired to create yourself!

    I shared these amazing guy cards on last week's video.  They were on of my April card club projects. 

    I've shared this fun fold card before but using the Woven Textures and Country Woods DSP put them over the top in my opinion! 

    The Father's Day greeting is from the Gone Fishing stamp set.  The hearts are from the Friends for Life dies.  

    You can see the inside view of the Father's Day card below. I used the Spring Corners stamp set for accents. 

    Here's a close-up of the Birthday version. The star dies are from the Wanted to Say dies seen here.  Love these!  Of course the Nested Essential dies are perfect for the layered greetings here.  

    Below is the inside of the birthday card. I used the Layered with Love stamp set for the little presents border.  

    There is a 7 1/2" X 1" scored brace that creates the pop-up effect when the card is opened.  Otherwise it lays perfectly flat for mailing and is an A2 size card.

  • Freestyle Creativity with ephemera & leftovers!


    Have you ever gathered some of your extra die-cuts and layers and just played?  We did this at my Team Meeting this weekend and they loved it!  

    I put out lots of extra die-cuts and layers plus the Fully Flowering and Greetings for All ephemera plus the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes and they had fun making their style of cards.  These are mine: 

    Here are each of them below.  The left two include some ephemera and the right two feature dies and greetings I had on hand. 

    I found that layering dies and ephemera onto another layer like the white die-cut above or the Lemon Lolly & Black DSP layers below helps anchor them. 

     

    The colors in the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes are Balmy Blue & Bubble Bath.  Nice soft colors you can accent easily.

    See these pretty cards & envelopes here.  

    The cards above & below feature a bunch of dies I had on hand. Above includes Basic Beige and Gold. 

    The card below includes Basic Gray & Pretty Peacock. 

     

    I hope you're encouraged to try making cards using your leftovers.

  • 3 new kits by Stampin’ Up! now available in the store


    Stampin' Up! released 3 new kits in their substantial Kit Collection this month.  Two are cards and one is a beautiful bouquet of paper flowers.  

    You can find each of these kits and many more on this link.  Even though I am an experienced crafter I love working with kits.  It's a lovely break from thinking and planning.  But if I want to be creative I can still jazz up the kits. 

    My favorite is the Paper Bouquet kit.  I ordered two – one for my daughter for Mother's Day.  What a perfect gift!
