Another ‘WOW’ card swap with the Beautiful Butterflies stained glass technique


Today I have another stunning Team card swap made by Tracey featuring Window Sheets. She featured the Beautiful Butterflies bundle seen here:

Her colors include Shy Shamrock with Petunia Pop, Black, White & Gold embossing. 

Here's how she made this card:

  1. Texture the White layer with the Hybrid embossing folder; add to the Petunia layer and the card base. 
  2. Ink the butterfly image in Versamark and stamp on the Window sheet. Heat emboss with Gold embossing powder. Die-cut with the coordinating die.  *she did say some of the embossing powder on the edge frayed off when it went through the die-cut.  
  3. Color the back of the butterfly with Blends markers.  Adhere to the White cardstock layer with Foam Strip adhesive in the center only. Add the center 'body' die-cut.
  4. Heat emboss the greeting onto the Black strip with White embossing powder.  Finish with gems. 

Here's the full bundle that includes stamps, dies and a Hybrid embossing folder. What is a 'Hybrid Embossing folder?  It's where you can cut AND emboss/texture at the same time!

And look how she finished the inside!  She used the Baby Wipe technique to achieve a multi-colored butterfly. 

Thanks so much for your gorgeous card Tracey!

  • Artistic Sketched Garden fun fold card with free project sheet & video


    I shared this neat accordion card on last week’s video. Most Tuesdays at 11 am CT I post a Live video on my FB page here. Then the following week I share the free project sheet for it here on my blog. Be sure to follow me here by subscribing to my blog on the right side, my YouTube Channel or my FB page. Don’t miss a thing!

    I featured the Artistic Sketched Garden designer paper here; it’s new and will be available in the upcoming 2026 May – August Stampin’ Up! catalog. Each sheet is a black & white combination of florals or prints.

    I paired it with Melon Mambo and Black here. The vase of flowers is fussy cut from a sheet of the DSP. I used the Perennial Postage dies to cut a piece of In Color DSP as a background. That simple strip of Black CS really sets of the colors here.

    You can’t tell what type of fun fold it is in the photo above. But look at this one:

    It’s so cool and gives you plenty of places to add designer paper. Here’s the free project sheet for all three cards. Click here to download or print it.

    In the video below you’ll see how I made this card and two more easy fun folds. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel here.

  • A new catalog sneak peek!


    I’ve joined a ton of swaps to get lots of samples for my upcoming New Catalog Open House party on May 2nd. If you’re local stop in between 11:30-1:30 pm that day at my home studio.

    Here’s one of the swaps I made:

    It is made with the Opulent Oasis bundle. This bundle will be available to order on May 5th.

    My colors include Pool Party, Petal Pink and the new Crisp Cantaloupe (card base). I love the colors together! Can you tell there’s a hint of White on some of the raised texture? I rubbed my Craft White ink pad over the surface afterwards.

    Notice that big textured floral element – that is made with something brand new, called Impressions dies.

    Here’s how you use them: I used the die first to cut out the flower like usual. It did not have the deep impression in it with the first cut. Then I put in in the Cut & Emboss machine again with the same die but this time added the new Impressions mat. This floppy, stretchy mat pushes the card stock into the die and gives that deep texture. So cool! I’ve heard you can use other ‘non-impression’ dies with this mat too!

    There are a few new & exciting impression dies coming out in the new catalog on May 5th.

    I hope you’re getting excited about all of the new products that are coming to you in this fabulous new catalog. I know you’ll love it.
