Winter Adventures

Alpine Winter Suite + Dreamy Snowflake Hybrid Embossing Folder

Today I am participating in the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. This month we are creating using a sketch challenge. To create my card I have chosen the Alpine Winter Suite and Dreamy Snowflakes Hybrid Embossing Folder. Both will go live on September 1st. Below, I have added a picture of the collection and the embossing folder, as well as the item numbers.

August 2026 Challenge

I love the subtle snowflakes from the embossing folder. They create the perfect back drop for this card! All the elements go together so perfectly!

In order to use all the elements that I wanted to, I enlarged my card to 5" x 7". Snowflakes, snowshoes, an alpine cabin..... So much fun to create with this collection!

Elegant Leaves in Pecan Pie

Elegant Leaves Bundle + Banner Saying Bundle + Textured Tree Ring Embossing Folder

Today's Monochromatic Insta Hop color is Pecan Pie. To create this card I've used the new Elegant Leaves Bundle, I stamped the leaves in a well inked pad of Pecan Pie, so that it was nice and saturated. Next I stamped the highlights using Versamark and heat set copper embossing powder on it. The final appearance is perfect, exactly what I wanted.

The Elegant Leaves Bundle will go live on September 1st. I have listed the item # below the instructions in this blog.
