Welcome back to the final installment of my five part series featuring the Adoring Hearts Bundle and the Thoughtful Moments Embossing folder!! As promised I decided to really change up the Valentine’s Day/Love theme and go in a completely different direction. Embracing my Celtic heritage, I wanted to make a St. Patrick’s Day card This really shows how you can get a lot of mileage out of this set.
Featuring white, green and gold this card is a fun way to show your Irish pride. After all,isn’t everyone Irish on St. Patrick’s Day? This card is perfect for an intermediate to advanced stamper. I used the Sunny Days DSP and the Softly Sophisticated embossing folder from Sale-A-Bration and the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Folder for the Shamrock.
Bonus: You can get this paper for FREE if you purchase the Adoring Hearts Bundle during Sale-A Bration. Retail amount $53.00 USD Item #162570. If you love the folder it can be yours with a $100 purchase. You will get the Softly Sophisticated stamp set and embossing folder for FREE.
Supplies Used:
New releases for Sale-A-Bration! As if you don’t have great product choices already, Stampin’ Up! has give you more products to choose from!

Love is in the Air Part Three!
Only 10 more days until Valentine’s Day so another card idea using the Adoring Hearts stamp set and Hybrid Embossing Folder plus the Most Adored Designer Series Paper. Check back later in the week when I have a video showing how to use the brayer, Adoring Hearts Bundle and the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder.
Today’s card showcases the Adoring Hearts Embossing folder. I really love how you can quickly cut and emboss at the same time. Bonus if you are only using a few hearts, you will have several already cut to use on future projects. TIP: I keep all my extra die cuts I haven’t used in a large plastic container and my scraps in a plastic shoe box. When I need an extra doodad or a small piece of cardstock for a saying I will have one already cut.
This card is perfect for an advanced stamper. I used the pretty plaid for the Most Adored Designer Series Paper. I then cut several hearts using the Hybrid Embossing Folder and other dies in the bundle. It is in Bubble Bath, Real Red and white which are traditional Valentine’s Day colors.
Bonus: You can get this paper for FREE if you purchase the Adoring Hearts Bundle during Sale-A Bration. Retail amount $53.00 USD Item #162570.
Now how did I create the cut embossed hearts and the pretty filigree hearts with heart frames? I will be happy to share it with you my friends, and it all revolves around the hybrid folder!
First you want to place the nine heart die inside the embossing folder. You will notice how the die fits right over the hearts and kind of “locks” in place
Next you will add your cardstock. I cut mine in a 6″ x 6″ square so I have extras. Now run it through your die cut machine. Bonus: Not only will you have nine little embossed hearts but if you look closely at folder you will have nine open hearts with tiny embossed hearts all around. Later in the week I will show you what you can do with this extra piece! The sandwich for the folder is base plate, embossing folder and the gray plate – same as when using a 3D embossing folder.
Once you have cut out your embossed hearts its time to cut the little hearts and frames. So break out that nine piece heart die. Place the small filigree hearts and smaller hearts inside the open hearts as shown and run through your die cut machine. Guess what? More hearts to use on future cards!

Here are some more ideas using the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder and the Most Adored Designer Series Paper. Check back all week when I will be showcasing different cards using various techniques for different levels of stampers.
Like I said in my weekend post this stamp set and coordinating hybrid embossing folder aren’t just for Valentine’s Day, they can be used for wedding, anniversary, and more! Today I’m going to use a different layout and showcase three cards using the same design but changing the words for different occasions.
This card is perfect for an intermediate to advanced stamper. It features the a white and gold theme that is extremely elegant and perfect for your favorite valentine! The card really showcases the beautiful Most Adored Designer Series Paper with the shiny gold accents. Bonus: You can get this paper for FREE if you purchase the Adoring Hearts Bundle during Sale-A Bration. Retail amount $53.00 USD Item #162570.
Some of you may be asking what exactly is a hybrid embossing folder. Well let me fill you in on this fun little accessory. It is a 3D embossing folder but is also comes with a large die that fits ever so nicely into the folder so you can cut and emboss at the same time! When that happens you get the little gold hearts that I placed on my card. Such a cool stamping trick!
Later on this week I will be showing you how to use a hybrid folder with ink and a brayer, so stay tuned!!
Here are a few other ideas for using this versatile set to get more bang for your stamping dollar!
Now what couple wouldn’t love these cards, whether they are just starting out or hitting a milestone anniversary!

I have been having a lot of fun creating Valentine’s cards using the innovative hybrid embossing folders; Adoring Hearts and Thoughtful Moments with the stamp set Adoring Hearts. Check back all week when I will be showcasing four different cards using various techniques for different levels of stampers.
Not only are these great stamps for Valentine’s Day but they can be used for wedding, anniversary, birthdays and more!
This card is perfect for any level stamper. It features the wreath from the Adoring Hearts set colored with Flirty Flamingo and Soft Seafoam blends, a few rhinestones and a little Flirty Flamingo bow. The side panel shows off a piece of Mostly Adored Designer Series Paper that you can earn when you spend $50 or more during Sale-A-Bration.
If you are a beginner just starting out and haven’t invested in a die cut machine, the pieces can easily be cut instead of using dies. It is also an easy layout that you will use again and again!

Hello Autumn!
One of my favorite suites in the September – December Mini Catalog is the All About Autumn Sweet (#162193 $105.75 USD). Fall is my favorite season so it’s no surprise I was drawn to this suite. It features the Autumn Leaves stamp set, matching dies, copper and natural ribbon combo pack, Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder, Oxidized Copper 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper and All About Autumn 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper (all products can be purchased separately).
I had so much fun creating with this suite, and this is one card that gets a lot of compliments.
I used Pretty Peacock for the card base with the same color panel embossed with the Distressed TIle 3D embossing file. To get the emphasize the distressed look of the embossed panel I used Metallic Copper Enamel Effects. It really brings out the copper in the leaf and veins.
I attached the panel to the main card with dimensionals to make it pop a bit. Then from the Distressed Oxidized Copper DSP I cut one large leaf and two mall leaves and the veins from the Pretty Peacock and Copper DSP. After attaching the veins with mono glue I added it to the card front again with dimensionals. The saying “Autumn teaches us that change can be beautiful” was stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock using Pretty Peacock ink, then cut out using the frame in the Autumn Leaves dies. To add a little sparkle I used 2023 – 2025 In Color Dots on the saying.
For the inside I stamped “I’m Thankful” on Very Vanilla using Pretty Peacock. I added the two remaining leaves to tie it all together.
Cutting Directions:
- Pretty Peacock card stock – cut 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
- Pretty Peacock card stock – cut 4″ x 5 1/4″
- Very Vanilla – cut 4″ x 5 1/4″
- Copper Oxidized DSP – cut 3 1/4″ x 5″ (the large leaf and two small leaves can fit on this piece)
- Pretty Peacock & Copper Oxidized DSP – cut 3″ x 4″
- Scrap piece Very Vanilla at least 1 1/2″ x 2″
