• Beautiful Gold foil cards made with the Season of Elegance DSP

  November 20, 2025

  ---

  Today I’m sharing two more beautiful swap cards by my Team. Out November theme was to feature either foil designer paper or metallic heat embossing.

  First up is Tracey’s stunning easel card:

  Save

  She featured the ‘A Child is Born’ stamp set and heat embossed it on a Gold foil die-cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies. There are tons of details on her gorgeous card; I’ll highlight a few:

  • The side strips of designer paper are from the Season of Elegance specialty paper seen here.
  • She added punched slits to loop her ribbon through the front panel for a bow with the Hole Punch Assortment seen here.
  • The greeting is heat embossed and is double layered die-cuts from Stylish Shapes dies.

  Save

  I think my favorite thing about her card is what she heat embossed the greeting with. Gold embossing powder wouldn’t show up very well so she mixed Copper and Black embossing powders and used that. Genius!

  Save

  Measurements:
  – Mossy Meadow card base 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″. Cut from the center score line down one side at 1″ and again at the other side at 1″. Now score that center piece at 2 1/8″
  – DSP strips are 1″ X 4 1/4″
  – Gold circle die-cut is approximately 3 7/8″
  – inside vanilla is 3 1/4″ X 4″
  – Greeting die-cuts are 2 1/2″ long X 7/8″ tall

  A stunning Christmas card Tracey!

  Next is a pretty card made by Lori who used a few of the same products on her card.

  Save

  She added lots of texture to her card with four different embossing folders. Those include the Sunflower 3D, Birchwood, Gathering Leaves & Soft Waves folders. These are in 1 1/4″ squares.

  Save

  Her colors include Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Gold foil and Very Vanilla. The greeting is from the Prairie Grass stamp set.

  It’s quite a striking card Lori. Thank you!

  ~~~

  The kits below will ship out this week so you have plenty of time to finish them by December. And they’re quick & easy too!

  The Christmas Tags & More cards are easy because there isn’t any stamping. The greetings are from the gold foil ephemera pack included in the kit.

  Save

  This kit to go includes a share of the festive designer paper, the ribbon, the peppermint gems, the ephemera greetings, the PDF tutorial and video too. Plus the pre-cut 10 cards that are all fun folds. All for $30 plus shipping. It’s a fabulous deal!

  Don’t wait long; I have just a few left. Go here to get yours. *You will need to cut your new designer paper for the cards but my directions make that simple.

  ~~~

  The other kit I created this month is also easy but does require stamped greetings. But there is very little prep & just a little trimming of the card bases to create these beautiful wintery cards:

  Save

  These cards could be winter or holiday; it’s your choice when you stamp the greetings.

  This kit originated from a former Paper Pumpkin kit but I jazzed up the cards and added more to create 12 gorgeous cards. This kit includes 12 envelopes and a share of Peppermint gems plus the PDF tutorial.
  I have a few left so grab yours soon. This kit is $29 and you can see it here.

• Beautiful Embossed card swaps with foil accents

  November 19, 2025

  ---

  Our Team swap theme was to use foil or heat embossing on our cards. This was a fun theme that is especially easy around the holidays.

  Today I’m sharing Jonna’s stunning card in Black, Silver & White:

  Save

  It’s a ‘Wow’ card for sure! She textured the Basic Gray card layer with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder seen here first and then rubbed it with Versamark ink. Then she heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder. Just gorgeous!

  Her measurements are as follows:
  – Embossed layer 3 1/2″ square
  – Black layer 3 3/4″ square, Black greeting layer 3 3/4″ X 1 1/4″
  – White is 4″ X 5 1/4″, White greeting layer is 3 1/2″ X 1″

  The greeting is from the Branching Out stamp set.

  It’s a beautiful card Jonna!

• A great way to add multiple pieces with the Press & Seal technique

  November 18, 2025

  ---

  I shared this pretty card on last week’s video featuring new products and a neat and easy technique. If you’ve ever struggled to add multiple pieces perfectly, as you’ve laid them out, this will help you so much!

  Save

  My colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon and White. The large die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies and the greeting & leaves dies are from the Creative Haven dies seen here.
  

  Save

  Save

  Tips on using Press & Seal to adhere die-cuts perfectly in place:
  I placed the center greeting piece in the center of the Postage die-cut. Then I tucked each die-cut leaf under and around it placing them just where I wanted them. Next I lifted the greeting piece off and pressed a piece of my Press & Seal kitchen wrap onto the die-cut leaves. Once they were all stuck on the wrap I turned them over and added adhesive to the back. I then turned it over and adhered it to my White layer. Let it dry or set a bit and then carefully peel off the Press & Seal wrap.

  I love this technique!!

  Save

  I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, directions and a product list. You can see or download it here.

  Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more pretty Easel card too.
