A WOW card with Swirled Designs

April 7, 2026

This is one of those cards you will not soon forget; the Swirled Designs bundle is so cool!

See what I mean? The colors include Blueberry Bushel, Shaded Spruce & White. Striking, bold colors for a celebratory card. The stars are die-cuts from the Swirled Designs dies.

The Swirled Designs bundle was a sleeper; not many people have used it. But once you do…. you’ll want to use it over and over. See the stamp set here and the dies here. You can choose the bundle here, but the dies are discounted which makes it almost the same cost to order separately. It’s on the Last Chance list unfortunately; only available while supplies last.

For the greetings I used the Reason to Celebrate stamp set. Wonderful and specific greeting images you will love. See it here.

It’s a simple fun fold card where you score the front one extra time. I used the Garden Poetry DSP for the left side panel. That’s where I got the idea for my colors.

Cool technique for a background made with our new shimmer brushes

May 28, 2026

Take your new Shimmer Brushes for a test drive with this darling DIY background idea. Stampin’ Up! posted this card idea; what a super neat plaid background!

Save

Here’s how you do it:

Step 1: Draw diagonal lines on Basic White Cardstock using the Barely Blush Shimmer Brush. (Use the Clear Block F as a guide.) Apply light pressure to create fine lines; increase pressure for thicker lines.

Save

Step 2: Rotate your cardstock and (using the Clear Block F) draw additional lines to create a plaid pattern.

Save

Step 3: Decorate your sparkling background with images, sentiments, and embellishments, then adhere the finished piece to the card base.

We now have 5 colors of these Shimmer Brushes in each of our new In Colors. See them all here.

I hope this technique inspires you to try it. I think you could also do it with our Wink of Stella on any color CS.

More Team swaps!

May 26, 2026

Here are a few more of the Team swaps featuring brand new catalog products.

Jacki created this striking card with the Scalloped Blooms bundle seen here.

Save

Her colors include Melon Mambo, Black & White. Those scalloped circle dies are so fun aren’t they? The leaf die-cuts are from the Delicate Whispers dies seen here.

Next is a striking card made by Joan: She chose to highlight the Scenic Coast DSP.

Save

She also used the Relaxing Waterside bundle seen here. Love that chair! As you might guess, it’s a fun fold ‘bridge card’.

Save

Super cool! To make this card you’ll start with a 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ card base, scored at 4 1/4″. Now use the paper trimmer to cut up to the score line on each side at 1 1/4″.
The DSP is 2 3/4″ X 4″ and on the sides it’s 1″ X 4″. There’s also a lower and an upper strip that is 5 1/4″ X 1″.

Save

Great cards ladies! I’ll share more later this week.

Even if they don’t have a ‘Sale’ icon most are still reduced in price. My kits include about $20 in SU product plus the 10-12 pre-cut cards! Most only need greeting images added. You will need adhesives, ink and a paper trimmer to cut the DSP in most cases.

These are a steal of a deal!

They’re so fun to create with and many come with both PDF & video tutorials too. Most will include fun fold layouts and you’ll find new ways to create with my unique layouts.
