  • Check out these Team Swaps featuring Specialty Paper – with measurements!


    Our card swap theme for February was to feature our beautiful specialty papers. Today I’m sharing three of them with you.

    First is a neat fun fold card by Karen. She chose the Lovely & Beautiful specialty DSP and her card shows off both sides wonderfully!

    She also used the Three Banner bundle for her greeting. Love that saying! See this punch bundle here.
    The stitched square die-cut from Stylish Shapes dies hides the inside panel perfectly.

    Measurements are as follows:

    • Card base 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″
    • White 5 1/4″ X 4″, inside is 2 3/4″ square
    • DSP 5″ X 6″ score at 2″ on the 6″ side
    • Calypso Coral square die-cut 2 3/4″

    Next is Kim’s card who also chose to use the Lovely & Beautiful DSP. She heat embossed her greeting on Vellum!

    Notice the brand new embossing folder – it’s called Lazy Daisy and coordinates great with the DSP she chose.

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″, Olive layer 4 1/8″ X 5 3/8″
    • DSP 4″ X 2 1/4″
    • Fresh Freesia 4″ X 3″
    • Gold strip 4″ X 1/2″

    Next is a neat shaker card made by Joan. She used the Good Luck stamp set.

    Her colors are Shy Shamrock (of course!) and Shaded Spruce with Gold accents.

    Measurements:

    • Shy Shamrock card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″, top layer is 3 3/4″ X 5″

    ~~~

    Here’s the card I featured on last week’s video. We made it at my February card clubs locally and it was a big hit!

    My colors include Lost Lagoon, Pecan Pie & Basic Beige. There are two different pieces of the designer paper that’s called Nature Walk and can be seen here.

    There are lots of pieces and extra elements to this card. It was super fun to put together. That neat striped embossing folder on the extra Lost Lagoon layer is called Lovely Stripes and can be seen here. It’s one of my new favorites.

    This card is kept closed by the narrow ‘flap’ attached to the right side of the card. I added a small triangle to the DSP layer to tuck the corner into. Works great To hold that flap down!

    The flap is adhered ‘underneath’ the DSP layer inside the card. *note the other embossing folder used on the card above. It’s called Stone & Vine and is also a deeply textured folder seen here.

    There are many, many details on this card I want to highlight. Here goes:

    • The die-cut leaves and ‘wood’ piece under the greeting are from the Nature’s Symphony bundle seen here.
    • The die-cut leaves are cut out from our two-sided card stock. I love that you can choose the light or the dark side which gives more color choices!
    • I added Pecan Pie ink to that wood die-cut with a blending brush.
    • The greeting is from the Three Banner punch bundle seen here.

    I created a free project sheet you can print or download. Click to see it.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card; I hope you watch it as I give multiple tips and ways to make your crafting process easier.
