Friendly Foliage Meets Emboss Resist Technique

The emboss resist technique is a fun way to highlight a stamped image.  I had fun using this technique with the new Friendly Foliage stamp set from the November 2025 Online Exclusive release. This is a fairly simple technique to do if you are familiar with heat embossing.  The main tools you need are white embossing powder, heat tool and Versamark Ink.  The other items I used to create this card are listed below the video.  

Card Details:

• Card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
• Layer #1: 3 3/4" x 5" pattern paper 
• Layer #2: 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" basic white 
• Layer #3: 3 1/2" x 1 1/2" Gold Foil
• Layer #4: 3 1/2" x 1 1/2" basic white

Snowy Delight & Non-Traditional Colors

Not sure about you but when I think traditional Winter colors I think blues and silvers.  So when I completed this Teach it Tuesday color combination challenge I was excited to go in the non-traditional direction.  The colors in this challenge were Lost Lagoon, Pretty in Pink and Gray Granite. My card is a winter themed card using the Snowy Delights Bundle and a fun technique to create rustic edges on my layers.

Card Measurements:

• Card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
• Layer #1: 5 1/4" x 4" 
• Layer #2: 5" x 3 3/4" 
• Layer #3: 4 3/4" x 3 1/2"
• Layer #4: 4" x 2 1/2" (for sentiment)
• Interior: Pattern Paper 4" x 5 1/4" & White 3 3/4" x 5"

Splendid Autumn Puzzle Slider

Tammy and I wanted to share with you some fabulous cards that we categorize as "fun folds" because they are not your standard opening card.  They give the receiver a fun surprise when they open your handmade card.   So join me as I share with you the Puzzle Slider card, inspired from a fellow demonstrator Patti Dolan.

I will be using the beautiful Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper to make this puzzle card.  As you can see I am sharing three cards with you. The Fresh Freesia is the card I made on the video. The other two were my trial runs.  This card is much easier than it looks or you might think. 

Card Measurements:

• Card base: 4 1/4" x 9 1/2" - Score long side at 1" & 2" on BOTH sides
• Mats: (2)  2 1/8" x 2 1/4" & (2) 2 1/8" x 3 1/4" same color as card base
• Pattern Paper*:  4" x 5 1/4" cut as follows (in listed order):

                      (2) 2" x 5 1/4" strips
                      Top strip: cut at 3 1/8"
                      Bottom strip: cut at 2 1/8" 

• Interior: White 4" x 5 1/4" & (2) 1/2" x 6" pattern paper

* To center the picture on the pattern paper cut 3/8" off each side.
