Today’s More Color Mondays color challenge is a rich blend of Cherry Cobbler, Basic Beige and Crumb Cake colors for a fabulous Christmas card using Seasons of Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper scraps!

Measurements:
BASE: Crumb Cake CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
DSP: 4″ strips in varying widths
Gold Foil: scraps for die cuts
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″, scrap for sentiment

Adhere the 4: strips to the card base.

Using the snowflake dies from the Snowflake Kisses die set – cut all three snowflakes from the Gold Foil sheet and adhere the negative foil onto a Basic White 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer and then adhere to the inside of the card base.

Stamp with Versamark ink the “happy winter” sentiment from the Snowflake Kisses stamp set, sprinkle with WOW gold embossing powder and heat set with a Heat Tool on a small banner die from the Stylish Shapes die set.

Adhere to the middle of the card over the Seasons of Elegance Specialty paper strips.

Pop up the snowflake foil die cuts around the sentiment piece.

I added Gold Striped Mesh ribbon around the bottom of the card front and tie in a knot to finish off this card with some elegant sparkle to match the Specialty paper!

This is a super easy card made from scraps what is better than that!

thoughtful moments hybrid embossing folder

by nataliegramleystamps | Jan 26, 2024 | card samples, embossing folders, new catalog, Sale-a-bration, stamps ink paper, techniques

On page 18 of the new 2024 January to April mini catalog we have a very cool new hybrid 3D embossing folder! Do you know what a hybrid 3D embossing folder can do? You can use the embossing folder and the dies separately just like normal dies and folders but put them together and you get both in one pass through of the machine! And what could be more versatile than a word folder! With “thank you”, oh happy day, thinking of you, hello, love you, you make me happy, with sympathy, celebrate, get well and Just Because! So this hybrid cuts and embosses all at once for you!

I made a pretty card to show you this awesome new product! The first few photos are of the hybrid folder itself and the words cut and embossed on Basic White cardstock.

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White layer: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Gold Foil scrap for the hybrid embossing folder

Place three strips of Tear & Tape across the short end of the 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer.
Peel the release paper away.

Place a bunch of Golded Leafing in a plastic resealable container and put the Basic White layer at the bottom underneath the gilding. Rub the gilding onto the tape strips until the stickiness of the tape is gone and the gilding is on all sections of tape.

Place the 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer into the Layered Florals 3D embossing folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine.

Place a scrap piece of Gold Foil into the Thoughtful moments hybrid embossing folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine.

Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ embossed layer to the card front. Adhere the sentiment with mini Stampin’ Dimensionals, place on the lower left hand side of the card front.

Add Brushed Metallic dots to the card front. I noticed that there will still fragments of the gilding on the card. If this occurs take a bristled paint brush and brush the loose gilding off the card.

I love this look and the hybrid embossing folder is so cool – try your hand at making some of your own artwork today – one stamp at a time!

new mini catalog is just around the corner – more samples

by nataliegramleystamps | Sep 1, 2023 | card samples, Christmas card ideas, Designer Series Paper, embossing folders, new catalog, sneak peak, specialty papers, stamps ink paper, techniques

There is so much in this new catalog that I cannot wait for it to go live Wednesday, September 6th – there is not enough space to show you all the great cards and things in here – hopefully you got yours – if not let me know!

The first card features the beautiful Winter Meadow DSP in colors of Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon, Misty Moonlight, Blueberry Bushel, Moody Mauve and Smoky Slate! This is the Lost Lagoon background paper with the trees pattern that is soft and misty. The Silver and White Sheer ribbon compliments this design perfectly and the Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots tie in the Gray Granite card base color.

This simple single layer card uses Tuxedo Black ink and Real Red Stampin’ Write marker to color only the berries. I die cut NOEL in Smoky Slate and added the Black and White Gingham ribbon. The Adhesive-Backed Sprakle gems are the perfect finishing touch.

This 4″ square of Joyful Specialty paper cut at angles adds a little interest to the DSP layer. Adhered to the Cherry Cobbler base with a Cherry Cobbler Stylish Shapes circle die cut, the sentiment and stamped holly and berries come from the Christmas Classics stamp set1 The Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins tie in the gold foil accents in the Specialty paper!

Stars at Night is a lovely hybrid embossing bundle. Her on a Night of navy card base I adhered a Basic WHite layer embossed with the Stars at Night folder and added a square of the Shining Brightly Specialty paper from the Suite. The die cut in the middle is stamped in Coordinating Night of Navy ink and die cut. I stamped the sentiment from the same set and popped them up with Foam adhesive Strips.

I stamped the smallest snowflake from the Sparkling Snowflakes on the largest Nested essentials banner die in Lost Lagoon and popped it up over the Snowflake Magic Specialty paper mounted on Lost Lagoon cardstock base. The faceted Gems Trio pack adds a great sparkle along with the Silver and White Sheer ribbon.

The soft leaf pattern in the Joy of Christmas DSP makes a great background on Shaded Spruce cardstock base. The white Stylish Shapes die circle blended with Cherry Cobbler ink pops up over the Parakeet Party Metallic ribbon for a lovely sparkle over the red plaid patterned paper.
The Sentiment and the peak of the Pomegranate are from the Magical Meadow stamp set.

The Joy of Christmas DSP continues to shine on our next card with the Pecan Pie musical background paper and the Christmas berry and greenery in the center. The Tinsel Gems Four-Pack pick up the sparkle in the Silver Threaded Twine. The sentiment is from the Christmas Classics stamp set inked in Shaded Spruce to match the card base and the banner from the Nested Essentials die set.

The next card also lets the Joy of Christmas do most of the work the 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece is mounted onto coordinating Cherry Cobbler and the Cherry Cobbler Stylish Shapes circle die features the stamps and sentiment from the Christmas Classics set. Iridescent Pastel Gems finish off the card with a sweet sparkle!

Another Specialty DSP shines on this next card featuring the Shining Brightly Specialty DSP and the Stars at Night bundle with dies cut from Gold Foil.

This card uses the same Specialty paper set on a Basic White cardstock base with Night of Navy ink and accents.

Coastal Cabana steals the show with this non traditional Christmas Winter card featuring the Sparkling Snowflake punch bundle!

Joy of Christmas DSP criss-crosses this embossed card front with the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder. The Winter Wishes sentiment is stamped in Cherry Cobbler on our new Deckled Circles die cut. The Iridescent Pastel Gems finish off this round of New Catalog samples!
