snowflake kisses diagonal cut half card

by nataliegramleystamps | Nov 7, 2025 | card samples, Christmas card ideas, die cutting, techniques

I had a leftover from my studio Stamp-a-Stack class and instead of making another copy of the card I created for class I decided to redesign the card! Here is a fun diagonal cut card using the materials from Monday October 13th’s More Color Monday card post.

Measurements:
BASE: Highland Heather CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″, scrap for snowflake die
Basic White CS: (3) 4″ x 5 1/4″
Balmy Blue CS: scrap for snowflake die
Pool Party CS: scrap for snowflake die

Place the card in the Stampin’ Trimmer diagonally and cut the front bottom of the card off.

Place the 2 Basic White layers 1/2 down from the top of the card. Cut two of the Basic White layers by laying them over the base card and marking the diagonal edges so the angle of the diagonal cut will be the same.

Die cut one of the two diagonally cut Basic White layers with the background die from the Snowflake kisses die.

Adhere the die cut to the other diagonally cut Basic White layer.

Adhere the double Basic White layer to the diagonal card base front.

Adhere the last 4″ x 5 1/4″ to the inside of the card.

Stamp the sentiment in the right-hand corner with Gorgeous Grape ink so it can be seen when the card front is closed.

Cut one each of the single snowflakes from the Snowflake Kisses die set in Pool Party, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather cardstock and adhere around the circle in the background die on the card front with Multipurpose Glue.

Adhere three Faceted Snowflake gems to finish the card.

This card uses most of the same products as the card I designed on 10-13-25 but looks very different – amazing what you can do with the same exact products but a different design!

Go out and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

pressed flowers color mask card

by nataliegramleystamps | Jul 30, 2025 | card samples, die cutting, embossing folders, In Colors, masks, online exclusives, techniques

Sometimes you just need a pretty and simple birthday card and the summer is prime birthday season for my BIG family – so I need lots of cards! This card fits the bill all around – fast and easy but stunning in it’s simplicity!

Welcome to the new Pressed Flowers embossing folder (#165614) is part of the new Online Exclusives Floral Impressions Suite. It is a regular embossing folder and so sweet and simple.

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″, 4 1/4″ x 51/2″ piece,
4″ x 5 1/4″ and 2 scraps for die cuts

That’s it! I told you this one was simple!

Take the Basic White layer and run it through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine using the base plate #1 and sandwich the folder between two cutting plates #3’s and run through!

Take a Basic White scrap and cut one small butterfly die from the Beautiful Butterflies die set and the long thin banner die from the Stylish Shapes die set.

Color the butterfly using Petunia Pop ink and a blending brush.

Take the 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ quarter sheet of cardstock and die cut the fourth from the smallest rectangular die from the Textured Notes die set (save the die for another use).
We will be using the negative space created by the die cut.

Place the negative die cut directly on the embossed layer and color with a blending brush and Coastal Cabana ink on the top right hand corner inside the negative space.

Color the lower half diagonally from the top left corner to the bottom two corners with Petunia Pop ink and a blending brush slightly overlapping the Petunia Pop over the previously colored Coastal Cabana.

Remove the negative die space mask from the embossed layer.

Tie and knot a length of Petunia Pop ribbon around the embossed layer.

Adhere the ribbon embossed layer onto the card front with even borders.

Pop up the small butterfly die onto the upper right edge of the colored area.

Stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment image in Petunia Pop ink onto the Stylish Shapes banner die.

Lightly color the banner with the Petunia Pop blending brush without re-inking it so you get a subtler color on the sentiment piece.

Pop up on Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and place on the lower portion of the card slightly above the ribbon.

Place three coordinating 2024-2026 In Color Flat Pearls to the card to finish this easy birthday card! Now time to mail it off!

It’s your turn to make a cute and easy birthday card – try your hand at this negative space masking technique with things you have in your stash! Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

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!

busy day – quick card

by nataliegramleystamps | Dec 28, 2022 | card samples, techniques

If you have followed me for a while you know we have spent the last year in remodeling our forever home on the lake and today was a busy one finishing up lots of unfinished little odds and ends. We are blessed with the best contractor in the area and I was excited to get all the items on our punch list completed. The most exciting of the little jobs left was our kitchen backsplash – we debated whether to do one at all so it was a last minute add in and not completed in the initial pass through – but today they finished it and it is gorgeous!
Here is a peak at that project and the quick card I made today in the midst of all that busyness! It’s a lovely glass subway tile in pearlescent whites, grays and beige- I LOVE IT!!!

The card is also set in a background of white, this time with 1/4″ scrap strips. I placed half of them consecutively in the 3D embossing folder Timeworn Type. Then I adhered alternating strips of embossed and plain strips down a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Basic Thick White cardstock scored in half at 5 1/2″. I then stamped the larger floral image in Smoky Slate on a Stylish Shapes circle die and the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink (both from the Fitting Florets stamp set). I used a die from the same bundle Framed Florets in Silver Foil for the accent pieces and used the upcoming NEW embellishments – Opaque Adhesive-backed Gems (SNEAK PEAK) for the matching bling! I finished it off with the Gray Granite ribbon and there you have a quick and easy card for a busy day!

Hope you can sneak in a quick and easy card on your busy days because there is a great sense of accomplishment when you create your own art – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
