Hybrid Embossing Folders are quite new to Stampin' Up! Currently we have 2 available, Bloom in the Annual Catalog and Merriest Frames in the 2021 Holiday Mini Catalog. What makes Hybrid Embossing Folders different than all other embossing folders is they come with a set of dies, and one of those dies fits inside the Hybrid Embossing Folder allowing you to cut and emboss in one step! How great is that???

In this September 15, 2021, Facebook Live Video Replay, I demonstrate the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder with its coordinating dies, both part of the Merriest Moments Bundle. You can use the Hybrid Embossing and dies each separately or in combination. The results are beautiful and amazing in each case! Enjoy my video demonstration of my beautiful Merriest Moments cards and how to use the new Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder & Dies

I love the versatility of the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder and the different ways it can be used.

Simple and elegant! I love it.

This card shows the result of using the large Merriest Frame die within the Hybrid Embossing Folder. The white card stock on the card below was embossed and cut in one step thanks to the Hybrid Embossing Folder.

A bit fancier with more detail than the 2 previous cards but still quite simple and elegant.

Did you notice the layer of Vellum card stock behind the white layer? I think it adds a lot of interest and elegance to this card. The Blushing Bride Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon and Pastel Pearls are wonderful accents for all three of these cards.

Happy Stamping!

As requested I am posting PDF's for the Color Coach Cards you may have seen me use from time to time in my business, including in my Facebook Lives. Once downloaded, you can print the sheets, then cut the cards apart. I like to have mine mounted on the same color card stock. Color Coach cards measure about 3" x 4" when cut apart. Cut your card stock 3 1/4' x 4 1/4". You can punch a hole in each of the cards and put them on a 2" ring which makes the cards very easy to use.

I hang my Color Coach Ring on the front corner of my craft table for easy access. 

I knew I wanted to stamp my Dahlia with Magenta Madness. The Magenta Madness card above is where I came up with the color combination I used to make the card below on my September 13, 2021, Facebook Live. 

CLICK HERE to get the supply list & cutting dimensions for this card and watch the video demonstration to make this card including how to make a card closure with the Tailored Tag Punch.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you put the resource to use. You'll be glad when you do.

Have a wonderful day!

In a recent Facebook Live, I showed my viewers a fun trick for creating a card closure with the Tailored Tag Punch. My card showcases the Delicate Dahlias Stamp Set and lots of colorful layers to make a very bright and cheerful card that is sure to bring a smile! Enjoy this video demonstration and then create a card with a closure made from the Tailored Tag Punch or another punch of your choice. I think many of our punches will work.

FYI...the Delicate Dahlias Stamp Set can be yours free when you place a Stampin' Up! order of $100 or more now through September 30th.

• Basic White Thick card base = 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored & folded at 4 1/4" on long side

On September 14th, I posted a Quick Tip Tuesday Video for properly running your embossing folders through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine for best results and to avoid damaging your embossing folders. If you haven't seen it, you can view it here now. I think you'll find this to be a helpful tip.

Thanks for viewing today's blog post. I hope enjoyed today's project and picked up some great tips for your stamping and card making.

Enjoy the rest of your day and be sure to contact me if I can assist you with your Stampin' Up! needs.

For just 2 more weeks, we're Sale-A-Brating Stampin' Up! style! Earn exclusive products free when you Shop, Host, or Join through September 30th. This month the Inspire Create Share Blog Hop features projects using products from our Summer Sale-A-Bration Brochure. SOOOO many great products to choose from! Get them while you can!

For my ICS Sale-A-Bration blog post, I chose to showcase the beautiful and very versatile Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper that you can get FREE with a $50 US order during Sale-A-Bration.  It's a great compliment to the Peaceful Deer Bundle (stamp set & punch) in our Holiday Mini Catalog. The sentiment is from the Heartfelt Wishes Stamp Set also from the Holiday Mini Catalog. You can purchase the Peaceful Deer Bundle and the Heartfelt Wishes Stamp Set and get the Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper FREE when you order with me through September 30th!

You could easily swap out the holiday greeting for "Happy Birthday" making the Peaceful Prints DSP and Peaceful Deer Bundle even more versatile. Can you think of another sentiment you might use on this card?

A strip of Designer Series Paper makes it easy to add a little something extra to the inside of your card.

I love all the details on this card - from the red & black buffalo check to the layers to the black scalloped circle to the rhinestone and Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon. All these elements work so well together without them distracting from the 2 focal points, the deer punched from the Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper and the beautifully scripted Merry Christmas sentiment.

Card Dimensions:

• Card base = 4 1/4" x 11", scored & folded at 5 1/2" on long side.
• Real Red layer = 5 1/4" x 4"
  
• Basic White layer = 4 3/8" x 3 1/8"
• Basic Black layer = 4 1/4" x 3"
• DSP layer = 4" x 2 3/4" 
• Basic White strip = 4 1/4" x 1"
• Basic White inside card = 5 1/4" x 4"

In case you missed any of the Facebook Lives in my Stamparatus Technique Series over the last few weeks, here are all 4 of them together. I hope you find these video helpful and inspiring! The Stamparatus is one of my favorite tools. It has so many uses, and everyone can use it! A must have in any stamp room.

It's a solemn day of remembrance in America as must never forget.

Take a look at the 4th video in my Stamparatus Technique Series. In this one, I demonstrate Wreath or Circle Stamping. You won't believe just how easy this technique is and what precise results you get! Watch. Enjoy. Give it a try. You'll be glad you did!

This card features a fun variation on wreath stamping above by using 2 colors. You can also you 2 or more images for your wreath as well for even more interest and depth to your wreath. The possibilities are endless.

From a simple from wreath above to a pretty Christmas wreath below. 

I used Evening Evergreen ink for my simple, but elegant holiday wreath.

Another Autumn wreath with Bumblebee, Cajun Craze, and Mossy Meadow inks.


Now that you've learned this amazing Stamparatus Stamping Technique, what kind of wreath will you stamp? I'd love to hear your ideas!
